The EU is Trying to Steal Hungary’s Elections
as posted at The Ron Paul Institute
An NGO bankrolled 47 percent by the German federal government and 26 percent by the EU is now suing X for “access” to Hungary’s election data. They dress it up as transparency. It’s nothing of the sort. This is institutionalized surveillance masquerading as democracy promotion — the same Brussels–Berlin complex that lectures nations about sovereignty while quietly trying to override it.
When a foreign-funded NGO like Democracy Reporting International demands privileged access to a sovereign country’s electoral discourse, that’s not oversight — it’s power projection. Hungary’s elections belong to Hungarians, not EU technocrats, not German ministries, and certainly not NGOs operating as policy cut-outs.
This isn’t an isolated lawsuit — it’s part of a familiar EU playbook. First comes the moral framing: “foreign interference,” “risk assessment,” “democratic safeguards.” Then comes the demand for access, leverage, and narrative control. Data isn’t neutral here; it’s power. Whoever controls the interpretive layer of an election controls how legitimacy is manufactured after the fact. Hungary has already been tried, convicted, and sentenced in advance by Brussels for the crime of non-compliance, for acting as a sovereign power. This lawsuit is simply the next procedural step in converting dissent into pathology.
And notice the asymmetry. Elections in Germany, France, or the Netherlands are treated as sacrosanct domestic affairs. Question them and you’re a conspiracist. But elections in Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia — anywhere outside the approved Atlantic corridor — are framed as inherently suspect, requiring external supervision. That’s not democracy, but conditional sovereignty. The EU doesn’t export values anymore — it exports compliance audits, wrapped in NGO letterhead and paid for by the same governments pretending to be neutral arbiters.
Hands off Hungary’s elections.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
