DISINFO: George Soros interferes in the internal affairs of countries in the name of charity

SUMMARY

George Soros is the founder of the international 'Open Society Foundation' which interferes in the internal affairs of various states under the name of charity. Its leader is known to have allocated a record amount of $16 million to the US Democratic Party to win the elections and interfered in the voting process in Ukraine. In addition, he tried to influence the internal political situation of Georgia, India, and other countries.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation portraying philanthropist George Soros as evil and interfering in the internal affairs of different countries, especially elections. There is no evidence to back up the claims. Well-known philanthropist George Soros and the Open Society Foundation, which George Soros established, are a frequent target of pro-Kremlin disinformation and conspiracy theories.

George Soros is one of the leading philanthropists globally. He has donated over $32 billion from his own wealth to support the initiatives of the Open Society Foundations worldwide.

With his guidance, these foundations have aided individuals and organisations globally in their efforts to uphold freedom of expression, transparent governance, and societies that encourage justice and equality.

Additionally, they have funded educational expenses for thousands of talented students who might have been denied opportunities due to their identities or geographic locations. The Foundation provides details of all the grants that it has provided on its website.
