Interesting. I just read the same thoughts on another esc forum. I doubt it's financial reason. It might be very that or possibly bad results. Hungary isn't as much open minded country as her neighbouring central European countries.

Its withdrawal isn't even confirmed since this statement is vague, so I wouldn't put "not taking part" beside the thread's title. We should be quite careful about translation issues and stuff, as I personally believe that Hungary didn't write this statement in English.
Anyway, I'm so pissed at Hungary's attitude, like, if they want to promote the Hungarian music industry/culture at a whole another level, the best thing to do is not to take part at ESC according to them? Okay, lol, bye Felicia!
However, we all know that the real reason behind Hungary's withdrawal from the ESC is that they didn't make it through for the first time since 2011. Lol, what?!
The Netherlands didn't qualify for 8 years in a row and they still attempted to get back to the grand final and they did so in 2013. What about Hungary? They nearly miss out a spot to the GF and they withdraw from the ESC.
Never come back Hungary, no one misses you here.
Sorry, but this is a big lie!! NONO

Very sad. Hungary delivers almost every year - a big loss for Eurovision

Where's the confirmation that Hungary has withdrawn? The only thing we know is that A Dal is not the selection format for Eurovision. They might as well have already internally chosen a great act and rather not go public yet. Fans jumping to conclusions 
All I've got to say is that if they indeed went on to withdraw from the ESC, that'd be quite a childish attitude from the Hungarian broadcaster. Do y'all think, that if they qualified this year, they would still have withdrawn? Highly doubt it tbh.
When has Hungary been a powerhouse at the ESC or delivered a single time since 2014? Apart from 2014, 2017 and 2018, I can't remember anything relevant from Hungary.
They were never in for a win anyway, so that's not a big loss to me.

I would even sacrifice Germany, Spain and/or the UK for Hungary.
Hungary has always been kinda bold and diverse at Eurovision. They might not have submitted the best entries but clearly one of the most interesting ones, especially in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018.
2019 and 2016 weren't bad either

As things are, I think we don't have the official confirmation yet, but everything points that way. In such cases, I prefer to be pessimistic and assume the worse option. Any eventual pleasant surprise more than makes up for me being wrong.
That's why I wrote "to me". Calm your tits sis'.

The issued a statement where it says „instead of participating in the ESC“ or something similar. So no official withdrawl but still a clear statement... I was also sceptical until that statement, but it seems to be true...

Another question: Does someone know why the ESC isn´t broadcasted on the big main channel M1 anymore but on Duna??
This is not a statement from MTVA but from A Dal's producers.

I think for now, its best to take off 'Not taking part' till whatever is official.

It is still the same statement, nothing is 100% clear. It could be that they want to trick us fans, and suddenly go for a internal choice, where Andras Kallay-Saunders in som form could be the one maybe. I know it sounds stupid, but we have had a lot of stuff happen in the contest that has been outrageous, so who knows.

It might be "obvious" but it is still not official.
Thus, there's still a slight chance of Hungary taking part and just ditching their preselection process.
Let's wait for something official to claim that it's official instead of relaying on interpretation by fans based on a statement on A Dal.
