Just a reminder. When it comes to interfering with other countries’ elections, the United States is the heavyweight champ. Here’s a claim, published at Politico EU that the U. S. is interfering with Hungary’s elections:
BUDAPEST — The Hungarian government on Thursday accused the U.S. State Department of interfering in the country’s election campaign.
The Hungarian Foreign Ministry summoned the top American diplomat in Budapest, chargé d’affaires David Kostelancik, after the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced on November 7 that it would provide up to $700,000 “for projects that increase citizens’ access to objective information about domestic and global issues in Hungary.â€
“DRL’s goal is to support media outlets operating outside the capital in Hungary to produce fact-based reporting and increase their audience and economic sustainability,†the State Department wrote on its website.
One man’s “fact-based reporting” is another man’s picking candidates who favor the point of view that you’re advocating.
