Government commissioner discusses USAID support to Hungary with US counterparts
András László called his talks “constructive” and said he had developed “good ties” with his negotiating partners.
András László, the Hungarian government’s commissioner in charge of investigations into the United States Agency for International Development’s activities in Hungary, has held talks with officials of the US State Department on his findings.
According to MTI, László called his talks “constructive” and said he had developed “good ties” with his negotiating partners. He said the US authorities had concluded the first phase of their own investigation, and “terminated some four-fifths of [USAID] schemes”.
Some of those programs, he said, had benefitted civil organizations in Europe.
Investigations in the US involve “criminal aspects”, the commissioner said, noting that US legislation also prohibits supporting political parties in other countries or programs directly related to political elections, “which would be equal to interference with other countries’ domestic politics”.
“The American side sees a number of USAID projects as political support under all kinds of pseudonyms, financing organisations that are not civil organisations because they had not been able to go on with their programs without funds from the US government,” Laszlo said.
“I told them that there had been a serious influencing attempt involving US funds in Hungary during the 2022 election campaign, and we want to prevent that by all means from recurring in 2026,” he said.
