Rod Dreher, a conservative blogger living in Budapest, received $105,000 from the Hungarian government last year through a fellowship at the Danube Institute, according to freedom of information requests cited in the linked article. This payment came while Dreher was positioned as an intellectual advocate for Orban's 'post-liberal' movement — the post frames this as propaganda funding, though the actual scope of his work output isn't detailed. Dreher's position at the government-funded think tank has become awkward timing: Orban's party lost power in recent elections, and outlets like The Bulwark suggest Dreher may lose his fellowship now that the funding stream's political patrons are out of office.
