Peter Magyar's Bodyguard May Have Committed a Crime by Forcing Hir TV Reporter Out + Video

The actions of Peter Magyar's bodyguard, who effectively removed reporter David Heiter from a hotel, may constitute coercion. On Monday, the chairman of the Tisza Party instructed his bodyguard to expel Hír TV's journalist, when the reporter attempted to ask him some questions. Peter Magyar may have overstepped his bounds when he unleashed his bodyguard on a Hír TV staff member. Journalist David Heiter had sought to interview Tisza Party's chairman after media outlets unfavorable to the politician - including Magyar Nemzet and Hír TV - were excluded from a Monday press briefing. But instead of responding to the journalist’s questions, Mr. Magyar instructed his bodyguard to remove the crew. Then the bodyguard forcefully escorted the journalist out of the building.
