András László is a Hungarian politician and member of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party. He was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2024 and sits in the right-wing, sovereigntist Patriots for Europe Group.
As the country approaches a new election cycle, he discusses the opaque funding networks behind NGOs, ongoing investigations into U.S. and EU influence operations, Hungary’s outsized role on the international stage, and planned collaborations with figures such as Elon Musk and members of the Trump administration.
Congratulations on your recent appointment as a Government Commissioner tasked with looking into USAID’s political influence operations in Hungary. How are things progressing so far in your new role in the investigation into the USAID funds? Could you share more about your planned collaboration with figures like Elon Musk, the Trump administration, and others?
After Donald Trump took office, the U.S. suspended all USAID payments. USAID, the U.S. government’s international development agency, had long operated in cooperation with the State Department, the CIA, and the Department of Defense. Many agencies found it easier to outsource projects to USAID, but this was misleading.
When people think of development aid, they imagine humanitarian efforts—responding to natural disasters, preventing disease outbreaks, or rebuilding war-torn regions. But what the Trump administration discovered—and what many of us, including here in Hungary, had also observed—is that many of these so-called development projects were, in fact, vehicles for advancing left-wing political agendas abroad.
In Hungary, we’ve been actively resisting foreign political interference for years. We passed a law requiring organizations that receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to disclose this on their websites. However, the EU forced us to repeal it. Despite this, we saw major foreign interference in our 2022 general elections—upwards of $10 million. Had the results gone the other way, we wouldn’t have the current government.
