Klaus fears NGOs, same as Putin

Well, that pretty much says its all.

Klaus warned the Council of Europe (CE) last week against the very dangerous activities of NGOs which, he said, try to influence society without having a democratic mandate.

What a terribly peculiar and creepy view of the world, but what else is new?

I suppose next he'll be railing against the dangerous activities of newspapers, or blogs, who try to influence society without having a democratic mandate. Or private citizens in general, for that matter, who try to influence societies (via so-called "elections") without having a democratic mandate.
