For over a decade, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been a leading force in exposing and dismantling Western-backed NGOs operating as tools of foreign influence.
From USAID and NED to Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF), these groups have attempted to fund opposition movements, manipulate elections, and destabilize Hungary—just as they did in Ukraine (2014), Serbia (2000), and Georgia (2003/2023).
Who’s Behind It?
USAID & NED:
• 2022:USAID launched a $20M “Democracy Strengthening” initiative in Central Europe, with a special focus on Hungary, aimed at funding opposition-aligned NGOs and media ahead of national elections.
• NED has backed activist networkspromoting open-border migration, LGBTQ policies, and opposition-led protests.
• U.S. embassy connections:Leaked documents show direct coordination between Western diplomats, USAID-funded NGOs, and opposition figures.
Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) –Forced out of Hungary in 2018, OSF had aggressively pushed open-border migration policies, influenced Hungarian media, and funded anti-Orbán protests.
Western-backed NGOs & Media –Groups aligned with pro-EU activists, LGBTQ lobbyists, and globalist interests receive foreign funding to pressure Hungary into compliance with Brussels and Washington.
What Did Orbán Do?
✅ 2017– Passed Hungary’s foreign agent law, forcing NGOs receiving over €24,000 from abroad to disclose their funding sources.
✅ 2018 – Expelled Open Society Foundations and forced the Central European University (CEU), Soros’ elite training ground, to leave Hungary.
✅ 2018– “Stop Soros” Law – Criminalized assistance to illegal migrants and tightened regulations on foreign-funded NGOs.
✅ 2021– Resisted an EU court ruling attempting to overturn Hungary’s foreign agent laws, doubling down on NGO transparency measures.
✅ 2023– Launched further crackdowns on foreign influence in media and education, restricting Soros-funded programs.
Orbán has refused to let Hungary fall victim to the same Western-backed “civil society” operations that fueled revolutions and coups across Eastern Europe. That’s why he faces relentless attacks from Brussels, Washington, and corporate media, all branding him a “threat to democracy.”
Orbán has made it clear: Hungary will not be another pawn in the West’s geopolitical games.
