Walloon MP Dallemagne worried about financing political parties by Russia | Inland

A month ago, several foreign media outlets released US intelligence information that the Vladimir Putin regime had transferred $300 million since 2014 to fund political parties around the world and had several hundred million more in reserve. It is not known which parties were involved, but the US is said to have shared information with the countries involved. According to AFP, Brussels would be the hub in financing.

“Disclosure of this information demonstrates the challenge of the secret political influence of the Russians for the democratic states,” Dallemagne emphasized in his letter. He wants the advisory committee of Committee I (Intelligence Services) to hold an exchange of views in order to analyze the threat on Belgian territory and the measures taken.
