All you need to know about the so-called Transparency Law: whom it concerns and how to interpret it 😔

Viktor Orbán's recent speeches emphasize the need to create legal frameworks to combat foreign influence in Hungary, particularly targeting organizations funded from abroad. The proposed Transparency Law aims to monitor and regulate foreign funding to civil organizations, with severe penalties for non-compliance. Critics argue that the law could suppress dissent and is politically motivated, as it allows the government to blacklist organizations based on vague definitions of 'foreign support'. The law is currently under parliamentary discussion, with potential adoption expected soon, despite concerns from the European Commission regarding its compliance with EU laws.
