Hungary’s Orban ‘to close down’ pro-democracy and rights groups receiving US aid

Hungary will take legal action to eliminate non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and media outlets operating in the country that receive funding from the United States and other international sources, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.
Mr Orban, an ally of US President Donald Trump, said in statements on state radio that his government was going “line by line” through organisations operating in Hungary that have received financial assistance from the United States.
