Rule 144
Alexander Jungbluth (ESN)

The United States Governmental Agency for International Development (USAID) is suspected of having hugely influenced the political decision-making process in EU Member States, among others, by making payments in the billions to questionable NGOs and media outlets worldwide. After US President Donald Trump put an end to these alleged illegal activities, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, 63 NGOs tied to George Soros applied for EU funding.[1]

• 1.Can the Commission confirm that 63 George Soros-linked NGOs have requested EU funding? If so, which ones, how much money has been applied for, for what intended purpose and has any funding been approved?
• 2.Has the Commission itself or any organisation associated with it ever received money from USAID or any USAID-linked body and, if so, how much and for what purpose?
• 3.What specific action is the Commission taking to prevent foreign funding from influencing the political decision-making process in EU Member States?
