An email exchange has been leaked in which Berlin’s elite business school, ESMT, asks the German Foreign Ministry about Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), which is Hungary’s largest private educational institution.

Germany’s ambassador to Budapest, Julia Gross, assisted with the inquiry by saying that “MCC is the cadre factory of the ruling party, Fidesz, a propaganda school,” according to Mandiner by way of Correctiv, the portal that published the letter and who calls Viktor Orbán a “much-criticized right-wing populist.”

A report by Spiegel claims Correctiv is financed by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, including Є100,000 to expose what left-liberals believe is “spreading fake new on Facebook.”

Ambassador Gross further wrote that “MCC succeeds in attracting German speakers from conservative to very conservative, and carries out active and effective propaganda.”

MCC is also known for providing scholarships, publishing books and scientific articles, and organizing conferences both in Hungary and abroad. Due to accusations that it is close to Viktor Orbán’s government, it has become the target of political rivals both in Hungary and in the broader EU. ...

Soros is butthurt because Orban and Hungary booted his propaganda organization, that was pushing socilism and financing the flooding of Hungary with moslems, out of Hungary. They attack Orban as far right nationalist, and coming from the communists running the EU that is high praise in my book.

U.S. Ambassador Condemns Orban Gov’t for Investigating Soros-Funded Media He Fueled with Tax Dollars

U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman went to bat for a Soros-funded, Hungarian media outlet against Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government. Pressman just happened to also have dubiously shoveled American taxpayer dollars into that outlet.

Pressman condemned Hungary, a NATO ally, for investigating the so-called independent media outlet Átlátszó which received $197,478 from Soros from 2017 through 2020. Notably, Pressman made these remarks at a Sept. 18 forum sponsored by the Soros-created Central European University’s (CEU) Democracy Institute and the Soros-funded organization Political Capital. Soros has given $1,084,390,977 (yes, over a billion) to CEU between 2016 and 2023 alone. The leftist billionaire also gave $685,123 to Political Capital from 2016 to 2023. ...

Átlátszó is a relentless advocate against Hungarian border security, even attacking the government for focusing on defending the border. In just one article, the publication blaming Hungarian border security for clashes at the border and repeated a claim that people attempting to illegally enter the country “had given no indication that they had hostile intentions.” The Soros-funded publication also reposted an article referring to gender ideology as a “phantom,” mocking attempts to protect Hungarian families.

Átlátszó also took in tens of thousands more in U.S. taxpayer-funded grants, courtesy of Pressman. In fact, Átlátszó and 14 other anti-government media outlets received $320,000 in American taxpayer dollars.  ...
