A senior member of Premier Viktor Orban’s Fidesz
party vowed this week to use “all tools at its disposal” to crack
down on the 86-year-old billionaire’s network of charities and
accused it of “serving global capitalists” and backing “political
correctness over national governments.”
The official, Szilard Nemeth, said on Thursday
that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory had
created an opportunity to target groups including those that fight
for civil rights and against corruption. Another party official,
however, backed away from that position.
“We’re not going to sweep out anybody,”
Janos Lazar, the minister in charge of Orban’s office, told
reporters in Budapest on Thursday. Still, he said foreign
organizations’ books would be audited because “every Hungarian
has a right to know who wants to influence them” from abroad.
