Soros behind attack on Hungary’s media record, says minister
Financier George Soros is behind fresh attacks on Hungary’s government over its record on media freedom, Judit Varga, the justice minister, said on Monday.
Varga was responding to press watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) placing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on its list of “predators”.

“The Soros ‘ex machina’ kicked in again,” Varga wrote on Facebook in her English-language post.
“The organisations of the left-wing opinion bubble are once again trying to undermine Hungary’s reputation with false reports and lists by using directed questions,” she wrote.
“The list published by the ‘independent and objective’ Reporters Without Borders on Monday attempts to portray Hungary as a place where the freedom of the press is being oppressed in a particularly drastic and ruthless way.”
Varga said RSF had received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros’s foundations.
She wrote that “the regulatory environment of Hungarian media activities was developed in cooperation with the [European] Commission.”
“Hungary is one of the few Member States where genuine pluralism prevails both in the media and in ideological debates, as well as in the public opinion,” she added.
The minister also cited “Politico’s refusal to publish an Op-ed of the Minister of Justice of a democratically elected government”, adding that this was “worrying from a media freedom point of view”.

Hungary should issue an international arrest warrant for Soro’s and treat him like the UK and US treat Julian Assange. Soros is an international criminal.
Some people blame Soros for everything – including if they have an in-growing toenail. It really is high time for these people to grow up.
The saphead Soros does not give up. For an old man to spend his the last few days on earth trying to ruin his country of birth is simply ridiculous. He certainly will not going to heaven.
BLM is funded mostly by Soros and is destroying the US. He has also financed AGs in many US cities and refuse to prosecute criminals. In SF – stealing anything under $900 dollars a petty crime not to be prosecuted. The only reason Soros doesn’t have more influence – is because the goverment has done what it can to stop him and the NGOs he controls.
He tips more money than all the media in Hungary is w worth. Zuckerberg is the US Soros and has more money. Dropping 400 million to defeat Trump was small change to him and also banning him from face book.
