DISINFO: The EU and the USA finance the political destabilisation of Poland and Hungary
SUMMARY
The EU and the USA fund the destabilisation of power in Poland and Hungary. The European Commission has allocated 80 million euros as subsidies for left-wing and pro-European organisations in Poland and Hungary within the Program “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values”. Most of this money went to groups directly involved in agitation campaigns against politicians in Warsaw and Budapest.
RESPONSE
Recurrent disinformation narrative accusing the US, the EU and other “globalist” actors of destabilisation policies realises within the EU and worldwide.
The Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) is designed to promote and protect fundamental rights, democracy, and equality across the European Union. Its objectives include supporting civil society organizations in fostering democratic participation, combating discrimination, and upholding the rule of law. The program explicitly aims to create inclusive societies based on shared EU values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, and equality—not to interfere in national politics or destabilise governments. The Program's stated goals align with EU treaties and international human rights conventions.
