 On 26 February, the CJEU found that not renewing the license of the government-critical radio channel Klubrádió violates EU law (case C 92/23). The judgment constitutionally foregrounded media freedom as a central benchmark for the enforcement of telecom rules. Moreover, it rejected Hungary’s argument of formal legal compliance and focused on the holistic silencing potential of the respective decision. Finally, the Court recognised the imperative for a domestic regulatory framework that effectively safeguards media freedom and pluralism.
