    In the spring of 2017, a group of independent investigative journalists from the four Visegrád countries decided to join forces and create VSquare, a regional collaborative platform where they could present their investigations to an international, English-speaking audience. Warsaw-based non-profit journalistic center Reporters Foundation (Fundacja Reporterów) became the publisher of VSquare, and support from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) helped to kick off the project.

    Hmmmmmmm

    In a 1991 interview with the Washington Post, NED founder Allen Weinstein said: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”[18]
