Hungary's Orban vows crackdown on media, NGOs DW 03/15/2025
Briefly

During a national day celebration in Budapest, Prime Minister Viktor Orban vowed to take action against politicians and journalists receiving foreign funding, which he referred to as a "shadow army" undermining Hungary's sovereignty. He criticized foreign influence, particularly from the EU and the US, asserting that it poses a threat to national interests. His recent policy proposals include potential constitutional changes allowing the expulsion of dual citizens deemed a security risk and a focus on foreign funding of the media and NGOs, in addition to targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
"After today's celebrations, comes the big Easter cleaning up as the bugs have survived the winter. We will eliminate the whole shadow army ... who have supported the empire for money, against their own country."
"Orban's Fidesz party this week submitted constitutional changes that would allow the expulsion of Hungarian dual citizens if they are deemed to pose a threat to Hungary's sovereignty or national security."
