Hungary tells European Commission it won’t withdraw ‘Stop Soros’ laws

Change language:

Hungary will not withdraw its “Stop Soros” package of laws or its related constitutional amendment, according to the government’s response to the European Commission regarding the infringement procedure launched over the legislative packages, a justice ministry official said on Wednesday.

The EC launched an infringement procedure against Hungary over the Stop Soros laws and the constitutional amendment in July this year. EC experts raised serious objections about their compatibility with EU laws.

The government sent its response to the EC on Wednesday, state secretary Pál Volner told a press conference. Hungary finds it objectionable that the EC continues to represent an openly pro-migration position instead of being the guardian of the treaties, he said, stressing that the government will not withdraw “the laws protecting the country and Europe”.

Hungary also objects to the EC getting involved in political activities and attacking migration policy measures that promote border protection, he said.

Efforts to use Frontex for withdrawing countries’ right to guard their own borders represent the latter, he added.

After the approval of “Stop Soros” and related constitutional amendments, the Open Society Foundations which is “the top organisation in the Soros network” turned to the EC which launched an infringement procedure against Hungary within four weeks, which Volner said was exceptionally quick. The EC will most probably not find Hungary’s response sufficient and a reasoned opinion will be sent, he added.

Does not the US Ambassador feel that it is now appropriate for the US to “Call Time” on both George Soros and his “Open Society Foundation’s based in Manhattan with it’s credo of mass immigration and low wage economy combined with constant interference in a Democracy’s politics of which he, Soros has no business in?.
    I’m sure that somewhere in the US Constitution it forbids “Jerrymandering in foreign countries, “Is that not right?. I’m sure that DT would agree with me!.
    I’m sure that it must be illegal for a foreign power to allow some nutters to set up an organisation and to allow interference to be plotted at home and to export this to Europe?.
