Transparency and freedom of Information in the European institutions

The Case of the Rule of Law Dialogue with Hungary

Szilárd Teczár examines the rule of law dialog between the EU institutions and his home country Hungary. He is researching documents and correspondence in response to requests for freedom of information and gave a veritable workshop report during the colloquium. In addition to the content of his specific project, Szilárd also gave insights into the daily work of a factchecker during the discussion. He identified factchecking as a comparatively young form of journalism, but one that is enjoying growing popularity. He also described the conditions of this activity under the framework conditions of Orban’s Hungary. He will publish the insights he gained at the Academy on various national and international platforms.
