European Media Freedom Act: Legally Flawed, Politically Dangerous

Budapest
This investigation examines the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), adopted on 7 May 2024, focusing on its implications for media pluralism, national sovereignty, and the potential politicization of its legislative framework. By analyzing the legal and cultural ramifications of transferring competence to the EU under single market provisions, it critically assesses the act's impact on the press and media landscape across Member States.
