Hungary’s EU minister accuses NGOs of undermining trust, questions funding transparency
In Hungary’s experience, NGOs formerly financed by the US were aiming to undermine trust in public institutions and to destabilise the political regime, János Bóka, the EU affairs minister, said in Brussels on Wednesday.
Bóka told Hungarian journalists that their funding now from EU resources had also lacked transparency.

He vowed to request that instances be made public when the EC replaced the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as a financier.
