Fidesz: Anti-government protesters on Soros’s payroll

Among the participants in recent demonstrations against new overtime regulations were organisations on US billionaire George Soros’s payroll, the parliamentary group leader of ruling Fidesz said in public Kossuth Radio on Sunday.

Saturday’s demonstration was already part of the campaign for the European parliamentary elections in May, in which voters will get a chance to decide if anti-migration forces should become stronger or weaker in the EP, Máté Kocsis said. Read more here about the demonstration.

The parties that participated in the protest support migration and Soros, so it is clear that “George Soros has lined up his people in Hungary for the battle”, Kocsis said.

“The opposition parties’ idea to run on a joint list in the European election means that there will be an anti-migration list where votes for Fidesz-Christian Democrats can be cast and there will be a ‘Soros list’ for those who support migration and Soros,” he said.

Anti-government protests are under way in several countries around Europe where the governments are anti-migration, he said.
