IntelliNews published an article titled, “Controversial NGO bill enters Hungarian parliament.” The article reads as follows;
“Hungarian MPs began to debate the controversial bill on the transparency of foreign-funded NGOs in parliament on April 19.
The Fidesz-supported bill recommends that NGOs that receive at least HUF7.2mn (€22,973) annually from abroad must be registered, placed on a state list and declare on all their correspondence that they are foreign funded organisations. Critics have compared the bill to a Russian law that classifies many NGOs as ‘foreign agents’.
