DISINFO: George Soros destabilized many European countries by funding NGOs
SUMMARY
Funding NGOs explains how a man, who calls himself a “philanthropist” [George Soros], managed to destabilise many European countries through his organisations and used European judges committed to his cause.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narratives about the billionaire and the philanthropist George Soros, presenting him as a person who aims to control political systems in many countries and is involved in funding the US racial justice protests. The claim is made in the context of the Open Society Foundation's (funded by George Soros) announcement about the allocation of $ 220 million to the programmes promoting racial equality. The Open Society Foundation, sponsored by George Soros, is a network of independent groups working for justice, democratic governance and human rights in different parts of the globe. The first international foundation was created in Hungary in 1984. Now, the Open Society Foundations support projects implemented by NGOs or state institutions in more than 120 countries. Read here a similar case, claiming that George Soros finances protests aiming to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump, and here a case claiming the philanthropist finances organisations that deal with subversive activities.
