Their goal is to weaken the Hungarian government. Even with foreign money.
The most important domestic players in the network linked to George Soros are all represented in the European Union, often paying for their operations with foreign, often taxpayers' money - the Firewall Group wrote in its latest analysis , according to which it is also clear from the meetings with the commissioners that it is unlikely that the lobby, much rather, they were busy worsening the situation of the Hungarian government.
Ökotárs Foundation , which is close to LMP, is also included in the registry of lobby organizations.
The organization where politicians such as Gergely Karácsony's confidant Szilvia Temesvári, a former member of the LMP, is now a dialogue politician who has been in the employ of Soros's Open Society Foundation , and this was also admitted in their European Union registration.
Open Society 155,000 dollars of its annual income of two million euros, i.e. HUF 765 million at today's exchange rate , but the Austrian Ministry of the Environment also finances the Hungarian foundation.
moreover, the foundation of the US State Department, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), also participated in the financing of the environmental protection organization on paper.
But the largest supporter of the NGO is the European Union with more than one million euros, the Firewall Group found out.
He is an EU lobbyist
also the Mérték Médiaelemző Műhely Kft., which was financed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) , an organization linked to the US foreign affairs – or, according to bad language, to the US secret service – EU Horizon program and the Soros family's Open Society Foundation .
It is no longer surprising that the Hungarian Helsinki Committee is also present in Brussels, the rights-defending organization operates on 1.7 million euros, 650 million forints per year. From this
243,000 euros were given by the Open Society Foundation , 300,000 by the Soros-allied OAK Foundation , and 300,000 by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to Márta Pardavi's organization.
Hungarian rights protection organization Társaság a Szabadságógokért K-Monitor, carry out lobbying activities . While the former earns 1.2 million euros per year, i.e. 459 million forints, of which the Open Society Foundation also pays 150 thousand euros, the investigative website K-Monitor earned 260 thousand euros, almost one hundred million forints, in the year 2021 alone, of which 43 1,000 was financed by the Soros Foundation, and 57,000 by the aforementioned NED, which abundantly supports the opposition.
The Firewall Group also covered that
among the Hungarian actors, there are others on the list, such as Klubrádió or Bige László's Nitrogénművek Zrt.
It is also clear from the meetings of the above organizations: there is no question that they went to lobby for money or opportunities for themselves. Why would they, since it can be seen that they have plenty of everything at their disposal.
Their goal could have been much more political: to weaken the Hungarian government. Even with foreign money. Which raises concerns about sovereignty
- said the Firewall Group.
