How Do Students See Drug Prevention in Hungarian Schools?

Orban’s Massive Orwellian Propaganda Campaign
Last week the anti-NGO law came into effect in Hungary. From now on, NGOs receiving more than 26,000 USD per year from international donors have to register as “foreign-funded NGOs”, report donations, and attach a warning to every publication (read my earlier article here!).

If you have any doubt about this just look at the new hate campaign launched by this administration against George Soros, the philanthropist whose Open Society Foundation has been a major donor to human rights NGOs in the region!
