Description

Hungarian state television (MTVA) will cut 145 jobs, mainly in the administration field, according to MTVA. There was a quarrel between MTVA and the trade union regarding the communication of the cuts. MTVA stated that contradictory press reports had been published because the union had leaked the wrong numbers, while the union responded that MTVA's press officers were to blame.
