  • The New Press and Media Act in Hungary
    The New Press and Media Act in Hungary At the end of December 2010 the Hungarian Parliament adopted a new press and media law which immediately aroused strong criticism in the EU states, OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), and European journalist organizations for contradicting European ideologies. The Act came into force at the beginning of January 2011, when Hungary also assumed the EU presidency for the subsequent six months. A basic concern is how Hungary can participate in evaluating the progress of democracy in the candidate countries when it is moving away from democracy itself. The act, comprising 230 articles, establishes in the country a new body for media control, the National Media and Communications Authority, for monitoring the contents of all media, including the internet. Media Council is an independent body of the Authority. The Authority may stipulate regulations with respect to the behavior of the media. If it regards that the published information is not balanced, it has the right to impose a heavy fine to the media in question or even suspend its activity (see article 187 below). It may also oblige the media to reveal their source of information. The Act also gives quotas to European and Hungarian programmes and music in the public media (articles 20-22). The Act stresses respecting “family values,” a fact that has made the international sexual minority organizations suspicious. The Authority, as well as several other institutions, is led by Fidesz, the leading political party. Besides the Authority, the Act also stipulates the establishment of the Public Service Foundation governing the radio, the two national TV channels, and the news agency MTI.

  • [Ismailov Is] a Writer of Immense Poetic Power
    Praise for The Devils’ Dance Winner of the EBRD Literature Prize 2019 ‘[Ismailov is] a writer of immense poetic power.’ — Guardian ‘Ismailov shows that even under extreme duress, a writ- er’s mind will still swim with ideas and inspiration… Rebellious, ironic, witty and lyrical… A work that both honours and renews that rich tradition [of Central Asian literature]. For all its complexity, The Devils’ Dance is utterly readable.’ — Caroline Eden, Financial Times ‘Captivating… A rare example of Uzbek literature trans- lated into the English language – in this case admirably so by Donald Rayfield.’ — Natasha Randall, Times Literary Supplement ‘With its spies, police, princes, poets and great plot, [The Devils’ Dance] is an Uzbek Game of Thrones. The sto- rytelling style captures perfectly the prose and poetry of Central Asia while being incredibly readable in English.’ — Rosie Goldsmith, chair of judges, EBRD Prize ‘Might Hamid Ismailov’s The Devils’ Dance open Central Asian literature to the world as Gabriel García Márquez’s novels did for Latin America? Probably not – things rarely work out like that – but perhaps it deserves to.’ — Peter Gordon, Asian Review of Books ‘An intricate mixture of fact and fiction… Defiant’ — Jane Shilling, New Statesman ‘Brilliantly translated by Donald Rayfield… A rich and enthralling book’ — Tatler.com ‘Effective and moving… [Ismailov completes] his impres- sive portrait of the artist and his culture – and his dreadful times’ — Complete Review ‘A beguiling tale of khans, commissars, spies and poet- queens… feature in a rare English translation of modern Uzbek fiction.’ — Economist ‘Throughout these parallel stories, Ismailov finds moments of utter horror and of quiet relief.’ — Words Without Borders ‘A beautiful evocation of different Central Asian historical worlds… The Devils’ Dance is a powerful symbol of hope in Uzbekistan.’ — Calvert Journal ‘My book of the year.’ — Caroline Eden ‘A mesmerising – and terrifying – novel of tremendous range, energy and potency.
