Hungary to brief EU ministers on alleged ‘disinformation campaigns by Ukrainian secret services and Brussels-funded NGOs’

EU affairs minister János Bóka said on Facebook that he was about to brief an informal meeting of his counterparts in Warsaw on “disinformation campaigns” waged by Ukrainian secret services and NGOs funded from Brussels.

Bóka said that hybrid warfare and disinformation campaigns were on the agenda of the meeting. “I’m going to relate information from the [Hungarian] national security committee, according to which Ukrainian secret services conducted a disinformation campaign against the Hungarian government and the prime minister of Hungary,” he said.

The minister said he would also brief the meeting on “a network of NGOs, funded earlier by the US and now by the EU, working to undermine trust in public institutions in Hungary.” The meeting will also table the European Commission’s proposals on the next seven-year financial framework. He called the proposals “concerning” as the EC would “extend rule-of-law conditionality provisions and eliminate independent cohesion and agricultural funds”. Bóka said those proposals “are unacceptable for us. “We will protect the EU funding of Hungarian farmers and the cohesion funds and reject all proposals that would use EU resources to exert ideological or political pressure.”
