MTVA begins organizational restructuring and staff reductions

The Hungarian Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA) has begun a large-scale organizational restructuring and staff reduction process following a comprehensive audit initiated in July. The audit evaluated the organization's operations, structure, and future tasks, determining that certain roles are no longer necessary or will require fewer employees in the future.

Since early July, several employees have been relieved of their duties as the audit progresses. While these individuals are not currently performing work, their employment contracts remain in effect, and they continue to receive full pay in accordance with legal obligations. The MTVA management has entered negotiations with the Works Council and trade unions regarding the scale and timeline of the restructuring. Individual affected employees will be notified once the specific extent of the changes is finalized.

The restructuring follows a period of significant leadership changes within the public media. Recent developments include the departure of several executives and the immediate suspension of channel director István Gulyás. Currently, the MTVA is under the interim management of András P. Horváth.
