The Bought Green Lobby’s Impact on Agriculture

Additionally, €700,000 in funding was allocated to steer agricultural policy discussions toward more environmentally friendly approaches.

So Brussels prioritized its own policy goals over the livelihoods of European— including Hungarian—farmers, using paid activist groups to push its agenda.

Recently, the leader of Hungary’s Tisza Party argued that "the EU, including Hungary, should promote organic, intensive, high-value-added agriculture over the current extensive grain production (sic). The MEP called for actively supporting organic farming while sidelining grain producers, which could have serious consequences for European farmers.

Brussels uses the same tactics against Hungary

This same pattern is also evident in Hungary, where Brussels funds certain organizations with EU money to promote the political objectives of unelected EU bureaucrats.

In the coming days, we will reveal how Brussels uses paid, fake civil society groups in its attacks on Hungary.
