In the latest development in the investigation into a foreign-funded political pressure network, the Sovereignty Protection Office has identified the Brussels “gold diggers” who received the most money from the European Commission.
The Sovereignty Protection Office has identified 1,479 Hungarian beneficiaries who participated in projects directly funded by the European Commission. Of these, the office is monitoring approximately 500 organizations suspected of actually financing political activities in Brussels, they wrote. They added that the office had identified the Brussels “gold diggers” who received the most money from the European Commission:
George Soros’s private university, CEU, the Ökotárs Foundation, and the Minority Right Group, for example, received billions, while Emberség Erejével, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Háttér Society, Magyar Jeti Zrt., Political Capital, the Republikon Institute, and Menedék – Migránsokat Segítő Egyesület (Hungarian Association for Migrants) received hundreds of millions.
They recalled that the office had already begun investigating the European Commission-funded political pressure network in the spring. It identified the most important Brussels funds – CERV and Horizon – through which large amounts of public money flow to organizations whose real goal is to reduce Hungary’s political maneuverability.
“The Sovereignty Protection Office will continue to investigate the foreign-funded political pressure network in order to give the Hungarian people a clear picture of who is trying to influence Hungarian politics and how,” the statement said.
