An article in pro-government daily Magyar Nemzet condemned conservative politicians for not reacting more vehemently against an anti-Semitic speech by a Jobbik MP calling for a list of of Hungarian citizens of  Jewish origin—especially of those who sit in Parliament—because they pose a threat to national security.

Prosecutors have chosen not to pursue a case against a blogger who published phony pictures of Media Authority President Annamária Szalai's face pasted onto pornographic images, according to reports. The Media Authority asked the public prosecutor to bring criminal charges against the blogger on grounds the images misused Szalai's sensitive personal data. The prosecutor this week determined that the images were political commentary and decided not to pursue the case.
