Euronews
European centrist, EU-aligned; ownership now tied to Orbán-linked investors
Euronews is a pan-European multilingual news network now owned by Alpac Capital, a Portuguese investment fund with financial ties to circles close to Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán. Founded by European public broadcasters in 1993 to offer a European counterpoint to U.S.-dominated cable news, it has shifted through several ownership phases and has faced serious questions about editorial independence since 2022. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term—particularly on tariffs, climate rollbacks, and foreign aid cuts—leans broadly critical, reflecting its European institutional perspective.
Owned byAlpac Capital, a Portuguese investment firm whose CEO Pedro Vargas David is the son of Mario David, a right-wing Portuguese politician and adviser to Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán. Alpac acquired an 88% controlling stake in 2022.
