It would be nice if the EU would block this kind of election interference. This is clearly targeted in order to weaken Europe from within.

So…if Russia or China did this it would be a major scandal. So why is this even being allowed to happen?

maybe start giving grants to your own citizens first like for education, medical aid, emergency preparedness, pay the people back for what they paid for the illegal tariffs etc
certainly would seem more useful

Tax all foreign political contributions at a tax rate of 100%. That would stop this sooner rather than later.

Nice to see they are putting their money towards something productive instead of, you know, USAID or something. Republican voters must be so proud.

> US State Department to provide grants to far-right parties in Europe
Literally half way through the article:
>The State Department spokesperson said DRL was not planning on funding political parties. It is unclear whether the State Department could do so even if it wanted to. While the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act does not explicitly rule out such a move, it does prevent funds from being used to influence elections.
Another day, another baseless headline posted in this sub. The blind support from thousands is so concerning.

In Germany donations to political parties over 1k are prohibited for non EU residents. Influencing elections should be seen as hosting action and treated as such.

Is there any difference between the far left and the far right?

So can European countries fund the Democrats like AOC or independent like Bernie?

Foreign interference in political parties. Should ban those parties for doing so. If they want to participate in politics, they have to do it the right way.

This must be illegal.

The democratic world should demand that this policy be rescinded and if not, ask the US to remove all diplomatic personnel and shutter the embassies and consulates. It is the only language that they understand. Raise tariffs. Expel our diplomats. Stop all trade. Watch your companies burn as everyone returns the favour and watch the end of the American interventionist empire.
