Vivien Szalai

As TV2 news director, oversees a newsroom that has become a central pillar of pro-government propaganda, regularly running smear campaigns and partisan stories under the guise of news. Appeared in the TV2 pro-Orbán campaign video and later falsely claimed no one told viewers whom to vote for; media watchdogs exposed the lie by showing the closing frame explicitly urging "Vote for Viktor Orbán". Her channel repeatedly violated election-law rules on political advertising by news anchors, resulting in fines but continuing the practice in subsequent campaigns.
