# Shock as Orbán allies take ownership of Hungary’s most-read newspaper
*Blikk, a tabloid with about 3 million online monthly readers, bought by pro-Orbán media group Indamedia*
>Journalists at Hungary’s most-read newspaper have expressed shock after a media group seen as close to nationalist prime minister Viktor Orbán’s party, Fidesz, bought the tabloid from its previous Swiss owners.
>The purchase, which comes as Hungary gears up for crucial elections next year in which [Orbán faces an unprecedented opposition challenge](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/23/hungary-election-campaign-rival-rallies-viktor-orban-peter-magyar), is widely seen as another attempt to increase government influence on the media.

Classic Orban orbaning around
So shocking.
Who had guessed that.
Oh no.
even Hasan’s dog could not have foreseen this shocking news
I’m shocked they didn’t do this years ago.
Orban sucks
The shocking part is that this is new and just happened. You would have thought it would have been before now.
it actually is a shock. I mean I thought Orbán’s allies already owned Hungary’s most-read newspaper 😀
I’m shocked something like this would happen in a country run by a despot
Blikk is the most read one?
I don’t want to play with Hungary anymore.
Who is shocked here?
We are very surprised…
In France the media belong to a few billionaire families (Bolloré, Dassault., Arnault, Niel, Saadé, Amaury, Drahi,..)
This is really problematic.
I thought this happened years ago
As a hungarian, this is just business as usual. 80%+ of the domestic media is in Orbáns hands.
What tf is the point of having Hungary in the European Union?
Can’t wait for the anti-lgbtq, anti-Soros front pages on the gossip rags…
