The Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) does not form an opinion in political issues. That is according to MTA's President in reaction to an open letter signed by 28 MTA members to formulate a view on what they consider anti-democratic processes in the country.
Earlier, twenty-eight academicians sent an open letter to MTA President László Lovász to ask him to initiate a debate within the Asademy of Sciences about anti-democratic processes that have taken place in recent years in Hungary. The signatories to the letter consider harmful certain amendments to the constitution that reduce the role of checks and balances, and they believe the freedom of the press is in danger.
