History

Magyar Nemzet was established before the Second World War, as the voice of moderate conservatism. During the German occupation 1944/45, it was officially banned and appeared illegal. After the end of World War II, she appeared as a daily newspaper of the bourgeois forces. Although heavily censored, the Magyar Nemzet could retain a degree of independence during the reign of the Socialist Workers Party. In the Kádár regime, the newspaper was the sheet of substandard liberal bourgeoisie. This rather dominated the cultural item reporting.

After the fall of the leaf became the principal organ of the bourgeois anti- Communists, but remained independent. The center-right government of Viktor Orban (1998-2002) wanted to make the newspaper the biggest establishment newspaper, so she was the right-wing daily newspaper Napi Magyarorszag ( " Daily Hungary " ) forcibly united. The new Magyar Nemzet is ideologically close to the Fidesz party, but is not a pure party newspaper. In 2005, she met with competition from the right, since the restructured, former left-liberal daily Magyar Hirlap ( "Hungarian newspaper" ) also sees itself as bourgeois.

Editor in chief of Magyar Nemzet is the lawyer Gábor Liszkay, which also owns other media ( Hír Televízió, Chain Bridge Rádió ).
