ER Editor: And here’s Europe’s Trump taking the lead. Where ARE those EU’s leaders on this? Strangely silent.
From 2023, Samantha Power explaining what Hungary’s ‘problem’ has been, in her very own words —
More USAID shenanigans…
In early 2023, one year after Orban was elected, USAID tried to seed a color revolution in Hungary.
Here is Samantha Powers openly discussing it.

The rabbit is out of the hat! We had to endure for years that the ultra-progressive, self-proclaimed human rights champions of the mainstream media demonized Patriotic political forces for years. They did it because they were paid to do so by USAID and the previous, left-wing US…

So apparently USAID financed ultra-progressive Politico in Brussels and basically the entire left-wing media in Hungary under the previous US administration. And they called me “disruptor of the year”…

And Breitbart has this —
AP reports Orban, an consistent ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, said in statements on state radio his government was going “line by line” through organizations operating in Hungary that have received financial assistance from the United States.
He praised Trump’s decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), claiming such aid had been used to fund organizations that sought to “topple” his government.
“Now is the moment when these international networks have to be taken down, they have to be swept away,” Orbán said. “It is necessary to make their existence legally impossible.”
Orban further specified people who work for organizations that received USAID funding could be considered “agents,” and described Trump’s moves to dismantle the U.S. agency as like a “cleansing wind” from what he called the “Trump tornado.”
“All money coming from America should be made public, and those who receive it should have sanctions enacted against them,” Orbán said.
“You cannot accept money from abroad in order to influence Hungarian politics, and this will be legally enforced. Those involved will face legal consequences.”

Hungary moves to expose USAID funding
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced plans to disclose foreign funding to organizations that undermine his government
RT
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has declared that he will implement measures ensuring the transparency of aid from the United States to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and media outlets critical of his government.
Speaking on state radio on Friday, Orban emphasized the need to “eliminate these foreign networks” that meddle in the country’s domestic affairs, referencing US Agency for International Development (USAID) programs.
An ally of US President Donald Trump, Orban highlighted the Trump administration’s plan to integrate USAID into the State Department, aligning it with the “America First” policy.
“In America, we would call them agents, as they do not serve their own country but accept money from another power… We don’t call them agents… but these are people and organizations paid from abroad whose job is to overthrow the Hungarian government,” the prime minister said.
Orban, who has been in power since 2010 and faces the voters in early 2026, asserted that recipients of foreign funds must face “legal consequences” and be “squeezed out” as they pose a threat to Hungarian sovereignty.
In late 2023, his government established the Sovereignty Protection Office to monitor and address the risk of political interference. Foreign financing for parties or groups running for office are banned in the country, with penalties of up to three years in prison.
The European Commission launched an infringement procedure over the law in February 2024, citing its potential to undermine the bloc’s democratic values and fundamental rights.
Orban has a long history of taking measures against foreign-funded organizations, particularly those linked to Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. He has repeatedly accused Soros of meddling in Hungary’s domestic affairs, undermining traditional family values, and promoting a globalist agenda.
In 2018, Hungary implemented a “Stop Soros” law aimed at NGOs helping asylum seekers. That year, the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations announced it would move from Budapest to Berlin, citing a repressive environment under Viktor Orban. Hungary also forced the closure of Central European University (CEU), which relocated to Vienna due to regulatory challenges.
The European Union has withheld funding from Orban’s government, accusing it of breaching democratic standards.
