Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called for the "full elimination of the Soros network", adding that sanctions must be levelled at everyone who accepts foreign funds to influence Hungarian politics.
"They need to be swept away ... now that the US president got started," PM Orbán said in an interview with public radio on Friday.
PM Orbán said no one is allowed to accept foreign funding to influence Hungarian politics, adding that those who break that rule face legal consequences.
He welcomed "the window when the US and Hungary both have governments that accept sovereignty as the greatest value... They are doing what we have been building for 15 years here, and this is the moment when we can settle the score with these international networks when we can sweep them out and make their operations legally impossible," PM Orbán said.
