The Spin


As a part of the EU, Hungary is supposed to promote European values, but this law goes against the fundamental human rights of political and journalistic freedom. NotThis onlylaw doesnot thisonly lawallows allow for intrusive investigations into political groups, opposition parties, and universities, but it also publicly identifies those under its watchscrutiny, thus stigmatizing them nationally. Budapest cannot be allowed to threaten its citizens just because they oppose the ruling party.

The EU no longer truly believes in European values, which is why it hatestreats the current Hungarian government unfairly. This law was first created in response to the US covertly funding NGOsnongovernmental organizations with alleged links to the US Democratic Party, which is a blatant violation of national sovereignty. As the elites in Washington and Brussels push for more war across the globe and radical social ideologies at home, Budapest is simply trying to retain its beloved culture and values.
