[Self Reliance Central] The Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has announced plans to release a documentary exposing what it calls a major scandal involving the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The film, set to air on television in late 2025, aims to reveal how USAID allegedly funneled millions of dollars to fund ideological movements in Hungary, including support for liberal media, political organizations, and NGOs tied to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF). The Hungarian government claims these entities, often presenting themselves as independent, received foreign funds to promote agendas such as illegal migration, transgender rights, and pro-war stances aligned with U.S. Democratic Party interests.
The allegations stem from a broader narrative pushed by Orbán’s Fidesz party, which has long accused USAID and OSF of undermining Hungary’s sovereignty. According to pro-government sources, the documentary will build on claims amplified by U.S. figures like former President Donald Trump, who paused USAID’s foreign funding in early 2025, citing its use to push "woke" ideologies. Hungarian officials, including Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, assert that USAID’s funding was part of a deliberate effort to influence Hungarian politics and destabilize the government.
