EU Interfering in U.S. Politics




(Brussels, Belgium) According to this report, at least £17 million ($27.8 million) in cash has been skimmed from the European Union Human Rights Fund to finance leftist political causes in the United States.

It is being spent on promoting abolition of the death penalty, discussion of climate change, green energy, and the International Criminal Court – all controversial subjects in the U.S.

The study by the Heritage Foundation, a centre-right Washington think-tank, found a further £4million has been ploughed into pro-EU propaganda in the U.S., including funds for advertising and publicity material.

More than £3million has been funnelled to American universities to promote the benefits of European integration and a further £3million to think-tanks who want to study EU affairs.

The European Commission’s own accounts show millions have also been paid to unnamed individual opinion formers in the U.S.

Can we get an all-out effort to name the paid "opinion formers" in America? The list is probably quite informative.
