New Survey: Voters in Hungary Against Foreign Campaign Financing
Fully 61% of respondents in a recent Nézőpont Institute survey said political parties should not be allowed to receive any financing for their campaigns from abroad, the pollster said on its website.

According to Nézőpont’s analysis, 60% of the respondents said campaign financing rules should be made more stringent.

It said that 78% of ruling Fidesz’ supporters found “all forms of foreign financing unacceptable”.

Some 41% of left-leaning participants said parties should not receive funding from abroad, however, 52% of them “were rather indulgent, probably in defence of their preferred parties”, the survey showed.

Nézőpont conducted its phone survey between May 30 and June 1 with a sample of 1,000 voting-age adults.
