ORIGIN CAMPAIGN: This campaign is the documented source of the civic space restriction playbook subsequently exported to Serbia (SRB-CAMP-001) and Georgia (GEO-CAMP-001). Cross-reference TC-32 signals for documented transfer mechanisms. Key primary source: Orbán Baile Tusnád speech July 26 2014 — explicit naming of Russia as model, NGOs as foreign agents. CJEU ruled LexNGO 2017 in breach of EU law June 2020 — campaign formally closed when Hungary repealed law 2021 but immediately replaced with LexNGO 2021 (HUN-CAMP-002).
