Editor-in-chief fired at Hungary's leading independent news site

Szabolcs Dull had recently publicly raised concerns about political interference at Index

The editor-in-chief of Hungary's leading independent news website has been fired, a month after he had publicly raised alarm over political interference in the outlet's operations.

The dismissal of Szabolcs Dull from his role at Index.hu on Wednesday appears to be yet another blow struck against news sources that do not support the far-right political line of the prime minister, Viktor Orban, who has run the country for the past decade.
