"The anti-NGO legislation passed by Hungary’s Parliament on Wednesday and government propaganda surrounding the law make false claims about George Soros’s views and positions on migration. For instance, a statement from the cabinet office of the prime minister in Budapest issued on Wednesday, June 20, claimed the legislation was necessary because “the Soros network and the pro-immigration policy of Brussels are creating the threat of attempts to also swamp our country with migrants.”
This statement is manifestly false.
Soros has instead supported the idea of “a voluntary matching mechanism for relocating refugees” in countries across the European Union, in accordance with international legal obligations. He has made it clear that it is his view that “the EU cannot coerce member states to accept refugees they do not want, or refugees to go where they are not wanted.” (Saving Refugees to Save Europe, Project Syndicate, September 12, 2016).
For more of George Soros’s views on migrants and refugees, please read his rebuttal of a 2017 Hungarian national consultation on a so-called Soros Plan.
