George Soros, left, and Viktor Orban
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that George Soros, an American billionaire and human rights advocate, was responsible for the ongoing refugee crisis. Soros belongs to a group of "activists" that encourages migrants to head to Europe and thus intentionally aggravates the situation, Orban said.
"His name is perhaps the strongest example of those who support anything that weakens nation-states, they support everything that changes the traditional European lifestyle," Orban said in an interview on public radio station Kossuth, according to Bloomberg. "These activists who support immigrants inadvertently become part of this international human-smuggling network."
Orban has also labeled the deal to share the intake of 120,000 refugees among the EU countries "unfair" and "unreasonable", adding that these measures can lead to a democratic crisis.
"Who authorized Europe's leaders, or some of its leaders, to conduct this kind of policy? This is a democratic continent," Orban told Hungarian public radio in an interview, Reuters reported.
"When and who voted for admitting millions of people who entered illegally, and distributing them among EU member states? What's happening lacks democratic foundations."
The deal on the disputed refugee quotas was reached at a European Union interior ministers' meeting in Brussels on September, 22 with Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic voting against them.
This is not the first time Orban has slammed Soros, who is of Hungarian descent. He is funding several pro-migration non-governmental organizations. In an interview with the Hungarian-language TV2 television network, Orban claimed Soros is "drawing a living from the immigration crises" while Hungary is trying to protect its normal way of life.
Hungary's decision to close its border to stop the uncontrolled influx of refugees, erect a razor-wire fence and toughen migration laws has been criticized by Brussels and human rights organization, including the ones backed by Soros.
Comment: How about that, and coming from the leader of an EU country!
Now ask yourself which country has taken most flak for preventing refugees from entering (even though they're all doing the same thing)?
The Powers That Be have it in for Orban because he's the most openly pro-Putin EU leader.
Orban's portrayal of Soros as master-manipulator, while astonishing for the masses, is long-suspected by 'conspiracy theorists', who sound less and less looney by the day...
Regarding the 'Syrian refugee crisis', we suspected from the get-go that there was something contrived about it, but we encourage readers to not fall into black-and-white thinking on this issue. Many or most of the refugees may have been manipulated into heading for central and western Europe, but most of them nevertheless deserve sympathy as they flee from the hell created in the Middle East by the Western imperialists and their regional allies.
