Consultation on ‘Soros plan’ attracts record interest

The government survey “national consultation” completed last week on the “Soros plan” attracted record high interest, the government spokesman said on Tuesday citing final figures received from the postal services.

A total of 2,332,755 questionnaires were returned by Friday’s extended deadline, including 2,154,264 submitted in printed form and an additional 178,491 online, Zoltán Kovács told a press conference.

The spokesman repeatedly expressed thanks to all who had sent in their answers and said the high participation reflected that this was a national issue which would determine the future of Hungary and the European Union in the long term.

The questions concerned not only the “Soros plan” but also migration in general, including its illegal form, he said.

The processing of the returned questionnaires will be completed in the next few days, he added.

This week’s events, including a hearing by the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) to be attended by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, clearly demonstrate the intensity of the attempts of “Soros organisations” to “tramp over” and convince anti-migration governments and political forces to change their minds, he said.
