Probe launched into suspected foreign financing attempt in Hungary
Hungary’s Sovereignty Protection Office on Thursday said it is launching an investigation into a suspected attempt at foreign financing of an election.
Foreign financing of election?
The office said in a statement that it decided to launch its investigation based on information published in Thursday’s edition of the daily Magyar Nemzet.
The Sovereignty Protection Office said it had reason to suspect that “foreign and Hungarian interests” that had attempted to influence the 2022 general elections and “played an active role” in several European Union campaigns were “once again targeting the Hungarian elections”.
It said several criminal proceedings were underway against the members of the network of companies suspected of being involved in the case.

Orban and the rest of them live in fear of being uncovered as the con artists that they are by a credible opposition. They have been running the country into the ground and they know Hungarians are dissatisfied and Fidesz feels its’ own weakness. These cowards have been hiding behind lies.
Good. We all know who’s financing the “opposition.” Time to blow it wide open for everyone to see.
So, let’s see if our Politicians also throw their weight behind Russia’s “financing” (or is it bribery?) …
