They want money from the U.S. and they want to break American rules? Shameless complaints from NGOs
In Onetu, any NGOs and anonymous interlocutors lament the cut-off of US backing as part of Donald Trump's fight against ideological phenomena. They say Washington is considering re-funding them after they adopt fresh rules in Washington. The declarations call it "loyals." Over the last fewer years, US funds have supported, among others, organisations active in combating the erstwhile government in Poland or even damaging the interests of America.

One of Donald Trump's first decisions was to suspend funds flowing from USAID - the United States Agency for global Development. At the end of February, Washington reported that it would destruct over 90% of U.S.ID's abroad aid contracts.
"American abroad aid manufacture is not in line with American interests, and in many cases they conflict with American values. They service to destabilise planet peace by promoting ideas in abroad countries that are straight other to harmonious and unchangeable relations within and between countries" - is in the White home Executive Regulation.
A fewer weeks ago, Grzegorz Wierzchołowski and Maciej Kożuszki made an analysis in which they pointed out that among the beneficiaries of the erstwhile American administration there were many organizations in Poland, including those that were actively active in politics.
"USID government agency, Department of State and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) Foundation financed entities that hampered Poland's defence against Russian-Belarusian border operation and which fought the Law and Justice government as "undemocratic" and "persecuting" women and homosexuals.
DEI: Ideology from which companies escape
Now the issue of the organization, which the Trump administration turned off with money, was addressed by the onet.pl portal. He besides addressed the fight of the Republican US administration with ideological principles summarised in the acronym DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) - diversity, equality, inclusiveness.
Clearly - portal dictionary.com - explains DEI as "conceptual frameworks promoting fair treatment and full participation of all people, especially in the workplace, including groups that were historically underrepresented or exposed to discrimination due to origin, identity, disability, etc."
The Trump Administration Regulation of 20 January on "the conclusion of extremist and wasteful government DEI programs" states:
"Biden's administration introduced illegal and immoral discrimination programmes known as “diversity, equality and integration” (DEI), practically in all aspects of the national government, in areas ranging from airline safety to military... The public disclosure of these plans showed massive public waste and shameful discrimination. This ends today. Americans deserve a government obliged to service all individual with equal dignity and respect and to spend valuable taxpayers' resources only to make America great"
In fresh months, companies have come to retreat from the ideological expression DEI.
Who's paying, this one?
Onet quotes Rzeplinska, the head of MamWiedzieć.pl website, who will find that Polish NGOs on Trump's decision could "lost" up to PLN 200 million.
The portal claims that the organizations received an offer from the U.S. administration that backing would be resumed, "for the price of denying the DEI principles of their activities" and "making a statement" that they would not implement programs that would "infringe national anti-discrimination law".
Anonymously, Onetu's interlocutors claim that the explanation of the Washington letter "is open".
"In the end, this is an effort to influence the sovereignty of our organization. They want us to sign something like a loyal."
- regret the sources of Onetu, who besides complain that "are to agree that the American sponsor will decide what we can and cannot do in Europe".
Organizations in Poland indicate that, in addition to direct backing from the US, indirect financing was stopped, among others, through global institutions utilizing American money.
There's a immense financial gap all over the environment. And there is no support from the Polish government. We are helpless - says Joanna Talewicz of the Foundation for dialog and Centre for Roma Communities.
Some gain, others lose

People who demanded the punishment of Kaczyński's "criminal" were supported in the U.S. press, as well as projects of Polish law organizations were awarded backing for the bleaching of Hamas.

The Foundation in its mission writes, among others, about "education in the field of multiculturalism and anti-discrimination".
Some gain, others lose
Over the past years, supporting any has meant denying others.
What was the real image of the actions that the Biden administration inactive took? Let us return the vote one more time to Grzegorz Wierzchołowski and Maciej Kozuszek.
"With the support of selected foundations, organizations and media It is recommended to combat those that pose a threat to left-wing liberal position quo. In 2021, a period after the inauguration of Joe Biden, the USAID created a 97-page interior paper called “Disinformation Primer”
(elementary of disinformation).
"With the support of selected foundations, organizations and media It is recommended to combat those that pose a threat to left-wing liberal position quo. In 2021, a period after the inauguration of Joe Biden, the USAID created a 97-page interior paper called “Disinformation Primer”
(elementary of disinformation).
The simple “only for interior use” saw the light of day after respective years, thanks to the organization America First Legal, which won the right of access to public information in courts.
The paper recommends cooperation between governments, NGOs and the media in the fight against “information disorder”.
It besides proposes a number of strategies, specified as
- promoting and silencing content through search engines or
- cutting off negative media from advertising revenue
The aim is to:
- prevent “making narratives diverge from mainstream sources”
It is about preventing individuals from “sharing their own investigation in a broader discussion”, creating “popular expertise that shapes and supports their alternate worldview”.
In a paper hidden from the public, it is pointed out that any advertisers "involuntaryly finance and strengthen the platforms they disinformation".
In a paper hidden from the public, it is pointed out that any advertisers "involuntaryly finance and strengthen the platforms they disinformation".
And, after all, depriving uncomfortable media of advertising influences would prevent them from "spreading news".
Therefore - we read in the USAID survey - "an effort has been made to inform advertisers about their risks, specified as the hazard to brand safety by placing them next to content of concern". specified an operation - cutting off "disinformed" media from advertisers - besides has another advantage, according to USAID: allows "to redirect backing to news domains of higher value".
