As was already reported in September, illegal donations had flowed to the political opposition from the US organization Action for Democracy (AD). Attempts were made to influence the elections in Hungary from abroad and to support Viktor Orbán’s opponent candidate. But according to the National Information Center in Budapest, the amount of money involved was even higher than initially reported. The head of the agency, Brigadier General Zoltán András Kovács, underlined that this was clearly a violation of Hungary’s sovereignty. In an article he also criticized the silence of the international media about the scandal. Last year, the secret services and investigative authorities found another 160 million Hungarian forints – the equivalent of 410 146 euros – in financial election campaign aid from abroad for the opposition. The funds are said to have been channeled through a Swiss foundation. A total of 3,2 billion forints (8,2 million euros) flowed from the AD to the Hungarian opposition alliance. https://freewestmedia.com/2023/01/28/hungarian-opposition-more-illegal-us-funds-than-previously-known/
