Agents Operate in Media, Civil Society Sector

The establishment of the Sovereignty Protection Office in Hungary aims to address foreign influence through organizations that operate under the guise of civil society. These organizations, funded primarily by foreign entities, are believed to manipulate public discourse and political processes in Hungary. The office investigates these groups, including Transparency International and Atlatszo, which are accused of engaging in disinformation and political pressure. The funding model involves multiple layers, with significant contributions from American and European sources. The office seeks to distinguish genuine civil society activities from those that undermine Hungary's sovereignty.
