A Kremlin-backed media outlet — the Prague-based Voice of Europe — funneled hundreds of thousands of euros to far-right politicians, officials say.
What a coincidence - Russia co-opts far-right politicians in the US too!
the Prague-based Voice of Europe
I misread this as PraguerU of Europe.

Reminds me of how Tucker Carlson’s dad was the head of Radio Free Asia during the Eisenhower Administration. How the wheel turns…
Fun fact: Money corrupts.
Sure. But I’m more concerned with the ends than the means. If this was Native American casino money co-opting American right wing magazines to print land acknowledgements, I’d find it less upsetting. If it was a bunch of wealthy Dutch weed farmers lobbying for an end to Russian drug criminalization by paying off RT anchors, I’d be fine with that as well.
More frustrated by the endless lobbying for more white nationalism, more migrant hysteria, and more ugly border wars. Wish we could corrupt people to do nice things instead.
Maybe we could all invest as shareholders in Mondragon stock, so it can expand and take over the world.
Well, these reich-wing politicians were already corrupted, which is why they got money funneled at them.
Conservatism corrupts.
