Orban Orders Media and NGOs Crackdown Over Foreign Funding

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called on lawmakers to pass legislation that would make it possible to expel media and civil society groups that accept foreign funding, according to a newspaper report late Tuesday.

Orban’s request came during an annual retreat of his Fidesz party that’s wrapping up on Wednesday, pro-government newspaper Magyar Nemzet reported, without saying where it got the information.
