Hungary’s parliament approved a law on Tuesday that could force out a university founded by financier George Soros – the Central European University (CEU) – despite international condemnation and protests by thousands of Hungarians.
Also on Wednesday, Orban’s Fidesz party said it would present a bill to parliament this week that requires non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with a yearly foreign income of 7.2 million forints ($25,000) to register with authorities.
“Support from unknown foreign sources could allow foreign interest groups to pursue their own interests via the influence of these (NGOs) in Hungary … which threatens the country’s political and economic interests,” the bill says.
NGOs, many of whom receive grants from Soros’ Open Society Foundation, often speak up on behalf of migrants, clashing with the view expressed by Orban and other eastern European leaders that migration is an existential threat.

Go Hungary. Orban is right on the money, getting rid of the fifth columnists and agent provocateurs while he can. The U.S. should do the same.
