Máté Kocsis said the aim was to prevent, for instance, the disinformation campaigns that are currently underway from Ukraine, and to protect the Hungarian public space from foreign secret services...
Máté Kocsis said it was vital to "clarify new information that surfaced in the press today on a connection between Ukrainian influence operations and the Tisza Party".
Máté Kocsis said NGOs and media financed from abroad first spread "migration propaganda before moving on to gender propaganda and then war propaganda".
Ukraine published a statement on secret service operations last Friday, which was not previously coordinated through secret service channels, prompting a response from Hungary.
"The proposal concerns all organizations that conduct activities aimed at influencing (Hungarian) politics, using foreign funds, in a way that harms Hungary's sovereignty," Máté Kocsis said.
Following a closed session of the National Security Committee, Máté Kocsis and State Secretary Zsolt Barthel-Rúzsa held a joint press conference warning of a coordinated political campaign targeting Hungary.
"Hungarians shouldn’t be told what to think from the Ukrainian secret service HQ or from Tisza’s office in Brussels, because they themselves are the only ones who can decide on Ukraine’s EU accession," Máté Kocsis said.
"The Ukrainian secret services launched a broad defamation campaign against Hungary. Péter Magyar (the leader of Tisza) has sided with Ukraine rather than with Hungary," Máté Kocsis said.
Máté Kocsis, the ruling party's group leader, insisted that the opposition Tisza Party had made an alliance with the European People's Party "to harm Hungary".
Máté Kocsis said the international corruption network has bought politicians, journalists, activists and media platforms in Hungary.
The amendment was passed in an extraordinary procedure with 136 votes in favor and 27 against.
Máté Kocsis said that in recent years, "foreign powers and speculators" had been interfering in Hungary’s internal affairs on an increasingly broader scale.
In an interview with Magyar Nemzet, he emphasized the urgent need to expose and eliminate foreign funding networks operating in Hungary, particularly in the wake of the USAID scandal.
