Hungary's Sovereignty Protection Office is investigating Transparency International's Hungarian branch for alleged foreign financing and political interference. This move is part of the Hungarian government's implementation of the 'Defense of National Sovereignty Act,' which has been criticized for targeting civil society and independent media organizations. The United States has expressed deep concern over these actions on June 27, labeling the new sovereignty law as anti-democratic. The investigation targets two anti-corruption watchdogs.
