Further restrictions proposed to the Stop Soros package
Change language:
“The public debate of the Stop Soros legislative package began on 18 January and is still ongoing; over the past two weeks over four hundreds suggestions have been submitted, the majority of the opinions received so far are supportive, and in fact some of them propose further restrictions”, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson said at a press conference in Budapest on Sunday.
According to one proposal, organisations that assist illegal migration should pay a much higher duty, possibly several times the 25 percent included in the legislative proposal, in addition to which the tightening of the Penal Code was also suggested, as was the fact that groups of this nature should only be able to have Hungarian bank accounts and that, in accordance with the American model, they should be registered as foreign agents, he told reporters. The opinions and proposals will be summarised and presented to the Cabinet, and the final draft of the bill will be put before Parliament in February, he said.
The Minister of State said the goal of the legislative package was to “enact and enforce the overwhelming opinion of the people, and to take further steps to stop migration”.
