Bálint Ruff publishes list of 20,000 state-funded Hungarian civil organizations

Bálint Ruff has released a list online identifying approximately 20,000 Hungarian civil organizations that have received state funding since 2022. The list includes a wide variety of groups, such as folk dance ensembles, sports clubs, embroidery circles, cultural associations, religious congregations, and singing groups.

Critics have characterized this move as an attempt to target and stigmatize these organizations, suggesting the list serves to encourage public hostility toward groups receiving government support.
