💨 Abstract

Dozens of Hungarian and international organizations have condemned a bill proposed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party. The bill, introduced this week, aims to restrict foreign-funded organizations, including independent media, NGOs, and opposition groups, by monitoring their finances and potentially shutting them down. Critics, including 62 signatories of an open letter, argue that the legislation is a move to silence dissent and erode democracy, similar to Russia's "foreign agents law."
