We must stand up against ‘Soros plan’, Orbán says

Addressing a Christian conference held in Parliament on Saturday, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said: “We must stand up against the Soros plan, which aims to turn central European states into immigrant countries with mixed cultures and populations.” 

Speaking at the 11th national congress of the Alliance of Christian Intellectuals, Orbán said “it would simply be intellectual suicide” for central Europeans to take over western European liberalism. Hungary would become an “immigrant country with a mixed culture within the foreseeable future,” he said.

Hungary would also be home to terrorism and there would be no border protection, he said. And instead of family support policies, there would be “population imports” designed to offset demographic decline, he added.

“Today there is a plan to turn non-immigrant central European countries into immigrant countries,” Orbán said. 

“This is an action plan commonly called the Soros plan”, the prime minister said, referring to US financier George Soros and his alleged plan to import migrants into Europe.

“We must not allow this to happen and must hold on until the next election; the government is ready to defend the future of Christian Hungary,” Viktor Orbán said. “Everyone, in Brussels too, must acknowledge that we will not become an immigrant country”, he said.

Today, the internal tension between “immigrant countries” and “non-immigrant countries” is still a taboo subject in European politics, Orbán said. European leaders face an historic challenge to establish coexistence between these two different groups of countries, he said. “Should they fail, this tension could cause a stronger rupture, or even a fatal rupture in the political history of the European continent”, he said.

Hungary believes that “immigrant countries” are taking a wrong turn in foreign policy. They have lost control of their borders and exposed themselves to a modern-day mass migration, Orbán said.

Orbán said that

in western countries the human rights of illegal immigrants enjoyed preference over the will of European citizens, who do not want to accept all illegal migrants.
