Csaba Dömötör, a state secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office, on Friday hit back at US financier George Soros for “insulting Hungary”, citing US media reports that Soros had avoided paying taxes by tucking billions of dollars into his charity organisation.
“George Soros is insulting Hungary again; this time by calling it a mafia state,” Dömötör wrote. “These sort of insults ring totally false from a billionaire who pays no taxes.”
Citing recent press reports, Dömötör said Soros had
managed to avoid paying federal income tax for three years.
“Foundations play a key role in these tax evasion manoeuvres,” the state secretary said, adding that Soros had moved 18 billion dollars into his Open Society Foundations alone.
“The Wall Street Journal is calling this transfer of wealth the single biggest tax dodge in US history,” he added.
Meanwhile, Dömötör said, Soros was calling for others to pay more taxes. He cited the Project Syndicate website linked to Soros as calling corporate tax increases “the best solution” to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. However, a low corporate tax rate is one of Hungary’s biggest competitive advantages, he added.
“If he [Soros] attacks us a hundred times, we’ll defend ourselves a hundred times,”
Dömötör said. “And we will add each time that an unelected tax-dodging godfather shouldn’t lecture us on democracy.”

George Soros is insulting Hungary again; this time by calling it a mafia state,”
Soros would much prefer , HIS FACIST , state run by google ,you tube ,and big brother .??
There is no doubt that when one makes billions of dollars by NEFARIOUS means, one can buy and destroy many people & even countries.
Soros is SATAN in LAMB’S clothing.
He is like a cancer that permeates tissues and in the end destroys the host.
He is like a leach that attaches itself to the host and lives off it.
HE ACQUIRED HIS WEALTH BY ROBBING INNOCENT PEOPLES’ LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS.
HE IS NOT PRODUCTIVE, HE DOESN’T OFFER ANYONE A LIVELIHOOD.
Yet you see this abhorrent creature being hugged and kissed by heads of governments and the EU has been generously hosting him, HUGGING HIM, KISSING HIM and inviting him to give advice.
THIS PERSON HAD ADMITTED PUBLICLY THAT HE HAS NO SCRUPLES IN REGARDS TO OBTAINING MONEY OR THE METHODS HE IS USING.
I can’t understand why this IMMORAL PERSON is even given the time of day.
I do not have to tell you what that means.
HUNGARY IS NOT PREPARED TO BE BOUGHT or TRAMPLED ON BY HIM SO WE ARE TARGETED BY ALL HIS “PRIBÉKS”.
THIS IS REAL, HUNGARY HAS BEEN TARGETED FOR YEARS BECAUSE WE DON’T AGREE WITH HIS “GREAT PLANS” TO HAVE THE WHOLE OF EUROPE OVER-RUN BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT
WISH TO WORK, DO NOT WISH TO ASSIMILATE, ARE OF DIFFERENT RELIGION, REFUSE TO BE VACCINATED, ARE VIOLENT, DEMAND TO BE FED, CLOTHED AND TAKEN CARE OF AND IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY, BURN THE PLACE DOWN.
MOST OF THEM ARE UNEDUCATED, HAVE NO PROFESSION, DON’T SPEAK ANY OTHER THAN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND ARE TOTALLY UNWILLING TO BE PRODUCTIVE.
THESE ARE JUST THE YOUNG MEN.
LATER ON THE FAMILY REUNIONS WILL BOOST THESE NUMBERS MANY-FOLD.
Because Hungary is not capable – and unwilling – to handle any of these literally millions of people THE EU IS HELL-BENT ON DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.
WE JUST WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE, TRADE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES AND REPAIR OUR TORN / TORMENTED COUNTRY AND THE SOULS / PSYCHE OF OUR PEOPLE AND CHILDREN.
THE EU’S LEADERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ANTI-EUROPEAN ACTS.
SHAME ON YOU, EU, FOR DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO DESTROY MY COUNTRY – AND EUROPE !
P.S. – I hope that “DAILY NEWS HUNGARY” has the courage to publish my comments !
DAILY NEWS HUNGARY,
YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!!
THANK YOU, I AM MOST GRATEFUL.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS.
In Hungary, one does not need to look at the calendar, the moment the regime starts trumpeting and making up stories about Soros, immigration, Islamist terrorists and boosts up its blablabla on supposedly “Christian” values ( i.e. Inquisition interpretation of Christianity ) you know it is the year before general elections.
Mario, one of us is not telling the truth and it is not me.
You obviously are one of his “pribéks,” what a sad life it must be.
