The Sovereignty Protection Office is investigating the background and objectives of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and its domestic aspects. The office has now published a rapid report on the current status of the investigation.
They said that USAID, which has been in the spotlight in the US in recent weeks, was created as part of the US national security network to exert covert and overt pressure worldwide. To do this, it uses a global network of civil, economic, political, and media networks in each country as a tool, they added.
USAID has a demonstrable presence in all conflict zones around the world, having played a major role in the preparation and implementation of the Arab Spring and the Maidan Uprising series of protests in Ukraine, among others,
they said.
The rapid report underlines that the agency, which operates in an opaque structure, has gradually become a proxy for the power aspirations of the Democratic Party and its economic interests, while moving from an executive to a policy-maker. They went on to say that
the “capture” of the federal state was leveled when the organization’s last head, Samantha Power, was named to President Joe Biden’s National Security Council.
USAID’s growing influence is demonstrated by its budget, which has been increasing significantly year on year. In 2023, it had a budget of $52 billion, which is the equivalent of the GDP of four European Union countries, and a workforce equivalent to a small Hungarian town. The Sovereignty Protection Office also reported that
Samantha Power had earlier said that “USAID has become America’s superpower” and called the president’s decision to suspend USAID funding a “national security disaster.”

According to the protection office, Hungary received more than $20 million of these funds between 2020 and 2024, distributed among the Hungarian organizations of the US influence network, while the actual amount of money coming to Hungary “for pressure” – including indirect support – could be several times higher. These pressure groups in Hungary have received money to promote progressive ideology-driven policy goals, such as supporting illegal immigration, spreading LGBTQ propaganda, and promoting the idea of an open society, according to the report.
It also found that the murky funding system serves to conceal the origin of funds.
Political pressure groups operating in our country do not declare their real objectives in their grant contracts with USAID or the network’s local resource distribution center, but instead “hide their activities behind public issues that appear acceptable to society and cannot be linked to the direct interests of foreign funders.”
These organizations, in addition to USAID funds, coordinate the distribution of funds in Hungary, for example, to the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and in particular, to the Open Society Foundations, the report pointed out. They added that the funding model developed for USAID has been sought by George Soros and the leaders of organizations linked to him to be transferred to Brussels from 2017, onwards. To this end, they have set up funds under the authority of the European Commission to put pressure on the political leadership and public opinion of Member States, they added.
The process culminated in 2021, when the billionaire’s “trusted men” effectively took control of the EU institutions’ resource allocation centers, according to the office. This is when, among other things, the Commission’s CERV program (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Program) was launched, which bypasses nation-state institutions and provides direct EU funding to all US-backed pressure groups that operate opaquely and along the network’s progressive ideological lines, the report concluded.
