A total surprise," said Nick #Aiossa, acting director of the European office of #Transparency #International, one of the continent's leading NGOs fighting for the rule of law and against #corruption. At the end of June, the Open #Society Foundation (OSF), founded by #GeorgeSoros, decided to turn its back on 40 years of #investment in civil society in the heart of #Europe and redirect its funding towards #Ukraine, #Moldova, the #Balkans and the plight of the #Roma.
