De achtergrond van deze eis is dat USAID zou hebben getracht de Europese verkiezingen van 2024 te be\u00efnvloeden door middel van desinformatiecampagnes in verschillende EU-landen. Deze beschuldigingen zijn gebaseerd op onthullingen van Elon Musk en Donald Trump over illegale praktijken binnen USAID.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump heeft fantastisch grondwerk verricht; nu moeten wij ook snel en grondig de illegale verkiezingsinmenging door buitenlandse staten in Europa aan het licht brengen\u201d, aldus Bystron. Hij verklaarde dat er een sterk vermoeden bestaat dat buitenlandse invloed de samenstelling van het Europees Parlement op grote schaal heeft gemanipuleerd. \u201cDe EU moet alle vormen van hybride oorlogsvoering, buitenlandse propaganda en desinformatie meedogenloos bestrijden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bystron uitte kritiek op het feit dat door USAID gefinancierde media zich opzettelijk op oppositiekrachten hadden gericht. \u201cOnze democratie moet worden beschermd tegen buitenlandse invloeden\u201d, aldus de AfD-politicus. Hij stelde dat het de verantwoordelijkheid van de Europese instellingen is om deze manipulaties te onderzoeken en de veiligheid van toekomstige verkiezingen te waarborgen.<\/p>\n<p>Het Amerikaanse Agentschap voor Internationale Ontwikkeling (USAID) ligt momenteel onder vuur omdat het naar verluidt inlichtingengelden zou gebruiken om verkiezingen te be\u00efnvloeden en wereldwijd regimewisselingen te bewerkstelligen. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft daarom het budget van USAID drastisch verlaagd en alle medewerkers met ingang van 7 februari met verlof gestuurd.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brussels \u2013 AfD Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Petr Bystron is calling for an immediate investigation into the activities of
