Influence Peddling: Slovak PM Demands NGOs Full Disclosure
Slovakian prime minister Robert Fico has instructed all of the government’s ministries to provide a detailed list showing which non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and foundations have received grants and funds in the past one-and-a-half years—the period during which Fico’s sovereignist Smer party has been in power.
The prime minister’s call for action follows a wave of protests against his government organised by globalist organisations. Fico believes that the liberal Europhile opposition is attempting to oust his democratically elected administration— helped by foreign-funded NGOs.
Fico’s government has been a target of the European Union’s liberal elites for espousing an EU-critical foreign policy, a tough anti-immigration stance, and for rejecting woke ideologies. Naturally, Brussels has not been shy of declaring its support for the Slovak opposition.

Hungary Launches Inquiry into USAID’s Financial Networks and Alleged Foreign Influence
BOGLARKA BODNAR for HUNGARIAN CONSERVATIVE
Hungary has initiated an extensive inquiry into the financial activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aiming to reveal the recipients of its funds within the country and to dismantle what officials describe as a deeply embedded international corruption network.
Government commissioner of USAID András László in 2024 at the European Parliament
According to László, the complexity of the system under examination is considerable, involving numerous foundations and cross-financing mechanisms. He highlighted that the newly appointed US administration has committed itself to exposing what it perceives as widespread corruption, allegedly facilitated through a multi-billion-dollar international apparatus. He emphasized that his appointment is part of a broader effort to uncover and dismantle these networks in Hungary.
The commissioner confirmed that contact has been established with American partners, and he intends to travel to the United States to coordinate findings. ‘We aim to compare what they have uncovered about the operation of this system with what we have observed on the Hungarian end, and together, sever these corrupt ties that have extended into Hungary,’ he stated.
András László explained that the primary responsibility for the investigation lies with US authorities, who are reportedly preparing to cease over 90 per cent of USAID’s foreign financing. Additionally, it is expected that 95 to 98 per cent of USAID’s workforce will be dismissed, and following a full audit, the agency itself may be dissolved.
Referring to comments made by the US Secretary of State, László noted that USAID had supported ‘far-left, Marxist projects’ around the world. He described the situation as involving a highly intricate international network with numerous foundations and interwoven financial streams. Despite the suspension of funding, significant sums already within the system may still be disbursed.
He also pointed to strong resistance from left-wing politicians and media in the United States, as well as from globalist non-governmental organizations (NGOs), with similar opposition present in Europe. According to László, funding had been directed towards organizations and activist groups that he claimed falsely portrayed themselves as civil society actors.
‘The Trump administration is resolute in its commitment to ending these projects, and the Hungarian government shares this determination. We are committed to putting a stop to foreign interference within our country once and for all,’ László declared.
The investigation represents a significant step in Hungary’s ongoing efforts to scrutinize foreign funding and influence, with the government asserting that such financial interventions undermine national sovereignty and democratic processes.
