The Hungarian government tabled a “foreign agent” law. 💬 Civil society labeled sovereignty threats 💸 All foreign funding triggers fines, 25x the amount received 👁️ Powers to a government-controlled agency to surveil, stigmatise, sanction NGOs, even those 🇪🇺-funded. 🇷🇺 Kremlin's playbook in Budapest 🇭🇺

⛔ How NOT to regulate lobbying - lessons from #Slovakia Can you imagine having no regulation of business lobbying, but labelling civil society organisations who engage with lawmakers as lobbyists? New amendments in Slovakia are an attack on #PublicParticipation:

Slovakia: Corporations unregulated while active citizens labelled as lobbyists
The amended “foreign agents” law is back on the table, this time masked as a lobbying law exclusively applicable to civil society organisations.
