An MEP from the ruling Fidesz party has said that US financier George Soros “has sent an open declaration of war” to the democratically elected prime minister and government of Hungary with his Brussels speech on Thursday.
According to MTI, Tamás Deutsch said that it had become apparent from a speech where Soros compared Hungary to a mafia state that he was ready to take any anti-democratic step to ensure the Hungarian government’s defeat.
He said Soros had long been waging a war against Hungary without “an official declaration”. He added that now the declaration was explicit, Hungary was ready “to fight back”.
Deutsch said he would ask the European Commission to release the content of talks between Soros and the EU commissioner in charge of migration policy.
