FIDESZ OFFICIAL: 'DOLLAR LEFT' CONTINUOUSLY FINANCED FROM ABROAD

 

Hungary’s “dollar left” is receiving ongoing, substantial funding from a network abroad, the communications director of ruling Fidesz told MTI on Saturday. A report submitted to the national security committee and press reports point to leftist parties receiving funding from multiple sources, aimed at influencing Hungarian politics, István Hollik said. “Originally, we thought foreign funding of the dollar left was a one-off thing… but dollars keep rolling to the dollar left and dollar media,” he said. Hollik said the identity of some donors and beneficiaries of the funding was now known. At the same time, the source of much of the money is still unknown, he said. He called on the opposition to “tell us where all that money comes from. Tell us finally if George Soros is at the other end of the money tap!”
