Liberal EP Proposal Defeated: Brussels Will Not Continue Funding NGOs

The attempt by leftist and liberal party groups to replace halted USAID funding with EU money has failed, after the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs on Wednesday overwhelmingly rejected a proposal that would have amended procedural rules to allow external organizations — typically NGOs linked to the Soros network — to conduct ethical investigations of MEPs. This was reported in a press release by Erno Schaller-Baross, Fidesz MEP.
