Soros turned Europe into a “gas chamber,” wrote Szilard Demeter in an opinion piece published on the origo.hu website, considered close to the Hungarian government. “Poison gas is spreading through the pipes of an open multicultural society and is lethal to the European way of life,” he continued.

Szilard Demeter holds several important positions in the cultural field in Hungary and once described himself as a “fanatic urban planner”.
George Soros, through his foundation, has long supported the fight for human rights. In a recent article on the Project Syndicate comment portal on Hungary and Poland’s blocking of the EU budget veto, George Soros said that in order to remain true to its values, “the EU cannot afford to compromise concerns to the conditionality of the funds allocated to the Member States on compliance with the rule of law. ”Calling the Hungarian and Polish veto a“ desperate bid for two serial rapists ”and accusing Orban of“ building a complex kleptocratic system to steal the country “, Soros also noted in his article that the EU can help by providing funding directly to local authorities.
