Orbán: Brussels is doing the bidding of Soros

Brussels is implementing the immigration plan of George Soros and it is right that ordinary Hungarians should be informed about that, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview to public radio on Friday, commenting on the current government billboard campaign.

The US financier is intent on importing one million migrants to Europe, Orbán said, adding that other plans include stripping European Union member states of their right to decide on immigration policy.

“It is not we who would decide on whom to accept,” he said.

The prime minister insisted that everyone knew that Hungary was right about the issue of migration. He said that every prime minister admitted as such in private.

He said it was not the people of Europe who decided on such matters but ideologues with financial interests who were bound by liberalism.

Orbán said people on the way to Europe must be stopped in Libya, while anyone who is in Europe illegally must be transported away from the continent rather than distributed among EU countries. If Europe speaks of distributing migrants, then this will be interpreted in Africa as an invitation, he added.

He said it had been a mistake to kill Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s one-time leader, because there was no exodus of Africans to Europe thanks to an agreement between Libya and Italy while he was alive. He said European leaders bore responsibility for the situation that has emerged since. Orbán added that European armed forces were needed to defend Libya’s northern shores.

The prime minister said that Italy now faced the same problems in respect of migration as Hungary did from 2015, namely that “international networks financed by Soros” facilitated the migrant routes. “They support the illegal border crossings and exculpate criminals and terrorists,” he said. This is obvious and only the left-wing Hungarian press and “Soros’s people” are not willing to admit it, he added. He said more and more peoples were likely to reject “Soros-type” plans.
