Pursuing political activities with foreign money banned in Hungary

The Sovereignty Protection Authority said on Friday it is doing everything in its power to ensure that foreign money is not used to fund political activities in Hungary, adding that it will focus on uncovering organisations funded by American aid agency USAID in the coming weeks, in addition to “political pressure networks funded by Brussels”.

In the year since it has been operating, the Sovereignty Protection Authority has prioritised identifying foreign funded organisations that exert political pressure, mapping their networks and making their funding transparent, the statement said.

The body welcomed that the government has declared such organisations a risk to national sovereignty. The authority will continue to work to provide clear information on their “real activities” as well as making “necessary suggestions to increase the efficacy of the work against foreign funded organisations exerting political pressure.”
