Hungary museum boss hits out at US businessman George Soros saying Hungary and Poland are Europe’s ‘new Jews’
- Soros was turning Europe into a ‘gas chamber,’ wrote Szilard Demeter in an opinion piece for the internet portal origo.hu
- Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accuses Soros of wanting to flood Europe with Muslim migrants
The head of one of Hungary’s premier cultural institutions, the Petofi literature museum in Budapest, has hit out at the influence of US businessman and philanthropist George Soros in Europe in a provocatively worded article.
Soros was turning Europe into a “gas chamber,” wrote Szilard Demeter in an opinion piece for the internet portal origo.hu, which is seen as close to the government.
“Poison gas seeps out of the barrels of a multicultural, open society, and it is lethal for the European way of life,” he wrote.
Hungary and Poland were “the new Jews,” he said in the article, which addressed the dispute between European countries over the EU budget.
Hungary and Poland are the sole holdouts in negotiations over the EU budget, due to their opposition to a new rule-of-law mechanism.
The mechanism could mean the withholding of EU funds from countries that are seen to interfere with the independence of their judiciary.
