Hungarian opposition received more than EUR 7.6 million from the US
Action for Democracy, an NGO in the US, sent the opposition Everyone’s Hungary Movement and associated organisations and businesses over HUF 3 billion (EUR 7.6 million), a higher sum than previously thought, according to the National Information Center (NIK).
The website of parliament’s national security committee on Wednesday released transcript of evidence given by NIK head Brigadier-General Zoltán András Kovács suggesting that the total amount of funding provided by the US organisation was HUF 3.174 billion (EUR 8.2 million), around HUF 160 million (EUR 412,628) more than previously stated.
This funding was on top of funding from other sources totalling HUF 1.1 billion (EUR 2.8 million), HUF 900 million (EUR 2.3 million) of which came from a Swiss foundation “with the same aims” as the American NGO, according to the transcript.
Foreign financial funding sent to Hungary exceeded HUF 4 billion (EUR 10.3 million), it added, with various political analysts and marketing specialists the ultimate beneficiaries among others.

These are same people who insist Hungary is a dictatorship – usually the name of the NGO means the opposite.
The US is going from the most free country in world to crazy. Like the UK- if anyone says something you disagree with- it’s called hate speech and you can be arrested for it. Over 3k arrest in the UK.
These are the same people who complain about foreign interference in US elections. Hungary should close the US Consulate and send the US ambassador home. Enemies of Hungary should stay out and away from the country.
What’s the problem?
