For Orban, the war against Soros is personal

The Hungarian leader has “been very much the victim of George Soros’ infrastructure in Europe, which has been targeting him for 15 years, really, ever since he first came to power in 2010,” Global Policy Institute senior research fellow George Szamuely told Sputnik.

In his 12-point manifesto Saturday on the anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, Orban demanded that “Soros agents” be “expelled” from the European Commission, and for “corrupt lobbyists” to be removed from the European Parliament.

Up for reelection next year, Orban “sees Soros money behind the candidacy of Peter Magyar, who is going to be the leader of the opposition, the leader of the Tisza Party,” Dr. Szamuely explained.

Besides this, Soros’ arsenal includes his NGOs, think tanks, newspapers, legal and lobbying groups, who target “nationalist populists” across the EU.

💬 “Whether it’s Fico and Slovakia, we’ve also seen what happened to Georgescu in Romania, and without question, if they can get Orban, that’ll be a huge victory for the color revolution,” Szamuely stressed.

Gabor Stier, a senior foreign policy analyst at Hungarian conservative daily Magyar Nemzet and member of the Valdai Discussion Club, agrees, saying Orban’s mission today is about “squeezing out everyone tied to Western networks, the so-called Soros structures.”

💬 “This is a part of the war that Trump is waging against the globalists. And [in Hungary] one of Trump’s European supporters is making great efforts to do the same,” Stier explained.
Today’s global political landscape in the middle of an “ideological war between globalists and the sovereigntists, between ‘Sorosists’ and ‘Trumpists’,” Stier says.

“It’s very important that Orban now feels Trump’s support and strength behind him, and this expands his room for maneuver. At the same time, in domestic politics, he must somehow mobilize his supporters, because while there is still a year before the elections, he will need to work very hard to win,” the observer summed up.
