Abstract

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called for legislation that would allow the expulsion of media and civil society groups receiving foreign funding, particularly from sources like George Soros and the US Democratic Party. Orban's crackdown on dissenting voices, including academia, NGOs, and media, has raised concerns about the erosion of the rule of law and alleged corruption. This move comes as Orban's party, Fidesz, faces challenges in the upcoming parliamentary elections, with Orban relying on his relationship with President Donald Trump for support. The European Union has criticized Orban's actions, leading to the suspension of funding for Hungary. [Extracted from the article]
