Western intervention in Hungary is indispensable - wrote the leaders of the American organization supporting the leftist campaign. Today, Chris Maroshegyi co-leads the Action for Democracy NGO, which supports Péter Márki-Zay's movement with several billion forints, together with Dávid Korányi. Already in 2016, in a joint article, they mentioned the 1956 war of independence and the need for Western intervention "to level the playing field" in relation to the Orbán government.

In essence, Dávid Korányi and Chris Maroshegyi compared Hungarians opposing the Orbán government and the domestic opposition to the freedom fighters of 1956 in a 2016 article published on the website of the international NGO Atlantic Council. This year, Korányi and Maroshegyi appeared in the leadership of Action for Democracy, which supported the campaign of the leftists, more precisely the Péter Márki-Zays, and other organizations with about three billion forints. However, they made it clear years ago in their former opus Hungary Sinks into Nationalist Bolshevism: they are not big fans of the bourgeois government, but called on the Western world to "support a fully functioning democracy". They saw that the West was unable to help the Hungarian resistance in 1956, but they believe that this is possible today (ie in 2016).

It was suggested that fighting for the necessary change is primarily the responsibility of Hungarian citizens, but

Western intervention is critical in 'leveling the playing field'

and in opening up the possibility of change in the 2018 elections.

The United States and the European Union must keep hope alive in civil society, they argued. Since then, it is true that Fidesz-KDNP won two two-thirds victories, but according to the signs, the Maroshegyis did not give up afterwards.

At the same time, Kontra recalled in an article that on the website of the European Council on Foreign Relations, which functions as an umbrella organization of the quasi-Georgy Soros, in April 2018 - also in a joint article - the Korányis already wrote that the European Union should punish Hungary. "Orbán was re-elected in a media space strongly dominated by Fidesz and in an extremely unfair electoral system", they gave an assessment of the situation after the election.

According to the report made public the other day by the secret services available on the website of the parliament, between June 2014 and July 2020, as an employee of the Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG) in Washington, Maroshegyi's primary task was to deal with Hungary, the rule of law, and controversial issues, and in this in his capacity, he worked directly with Victoria Nuland, the former deputy state secretary responsible for European and Eurasian affairs who was not really sympathetic to our country.

According to the report, ASG was formed in 2009 through the merger of international consulting firms The Albright Group and Stonebridge International, founded in 2001, and last year several of their senior staff joined the presidential administration of Joe Biden.

It follows that the organization probably has influence on the leadership of the United States.

ASG's partner is the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group (TDWG), an organization made up of former high-ranking government officials, national security experts, faith leaders, scientists, and representatives of the human rights and democracy community. According to the report, which elaborates the details and background of the American support of the left, due to the democratic erosion in key NATO and EU countries, by informing the American stakeholders and the public, they are trying to prioritize "one of the fundamental values ​​of the transatlantic alliance, security as a basic democratic right". .

An important addition is that

Péter Márki-Zay's previous trip to America, even before the pandemic, was organized by Maroshegyi, who currently holds the position of vice president of Action for Democracy.

and was partly financed by the Albright Group. At least according to the already cited intelligence document. In a statement, the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely explained that, according to his memories, he met Korányi for the first time on this fundraising trip, who, by the way, worked alongside Gergely Karácsony as chief adviser in the Office of the Mayor, but was previously a close confidant and colleague of former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai.
