The European Union/Soros war on Hungary is all about Viktor Orban’s opposition to mass Muslim migration into Europe. The EU’s globalist encroachment on the sovereignty of nations knows no boundaries. Hungary, as well as the other nations comprising the Visegrad group (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and Austria have stood against the EU to protect their nations’ sovereignty and freedom. For doing so, they are being subjected to increasing pressure. Most recently, even Twitter temporarily suspended the Hungarian government’s account “without warning or explanation.”
“Hungary’s university reform is unlawful, EU top court says,” Reuters, October 6, 2020:
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union’s top court said on Tuesday that Hungary’s reform of higher education rules, which forced a university founded by George Soros to move most of its activities out of the country, was in breach of EU law.
The ruling follows a complaint from the European Commission and is one of many issues in which the EU has clashed with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s hardline stance on migration and minorities, as well as moves to increase state control of the courts, media and NGOs.
Under the reform, passed in 2017, foreign-registered universities can no longer operate in Hungary unless they also provide courses in their home countries, a provision that the European Court of Justice said on Tuesday was against EU law.
“The conditions introduced by Hungary to enable foreign higher education institutions to carry out their activities in its territory are incompatible with EU law,” the court said.
Central European University transferred the bulk of its courses out of Hungary after a long legal battle between Hungarian-born Soros, who promotes liberal causes through his charities, and the government of Orban.
The EU court also said the requirement introduced by the reform that non-EU universities could operate in Hungary only if their home country had a bilateral treaty with Hungary was in breach of the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights which protects academic freedom and the freedom to conduct a business….
Steven Grigsby says
How do I say this politely. EU kiss my a$$. You are the reason the American Colonist fought a revolution against the British Crown. Now get used to it. Let Freedom Ring. Hungary is only reminding all of us WHY the American Revolution happened. Godspeed, God Bless to Hungary and God Damn the EU.
Rufolino says
Victor Orban is a political hero, the future may show he has actually saved his nation from cultural destruction..
James Lincoln says
100% agree, Rufolino.
Saved from cultural destruction – and worse…
Check Burry says
With you all the way Steven

Amen Steven, too bad we didn’t keep Soros out of America, he does his best to destroy our country everyday.

Is Hungary allowed to give the court a big raspberry and tell them to MYOB?
soros should have been in prison long, long ago for all of his crimes.
mortimer says
They are giving the EU court the message that the Hungarians are sovereign.
Soros is a fanatical globalist who apparently hates the national pride of Hungarians. They overwhelmingly voted their disagreement with globalism. The want to remain distinctly Hungarian.
Ray Jarman says
Soros should be in a Hungarian prison for his NATZI collaboration during WWII.

I wish we had one like him, instead of this old hag witch that wilfully destroys our country
RichardL says
agreed. Mehrkill is racing to equalize the Austrian’s record. After the riots have died down, Trump will clean house and that means also to go after Soros.I am so looking forward to that. And the Dims will split into Socialists and Democrats.
James Lincoln says
An error in the feature article:
“Visegrad group (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and Austria”
Not Austria but Hungary.

Here is a 2017 video from French 24 that is still pertinent:
“Orban cracks down on Soros-backed university and NGOs”
French 24 makes it sound like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is doing the *wrong* thing where in reality he is 100% correct.
Note in the video that the Central European University teaches EU “values” not *Hungarian* values.

James–with all respect–Christine Douglass-Williams does not say that Austria is part of the Visigrad Group and Hungary is not. She wrote:
“Hungary, as well as the other nations comprising the Visegrad group (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and Austria have stood against the EU to protect their nations’ sovereignty and freedom…”
She was noting that Hungary is indeed part of the Visigrad Group, and that Austria–which is not–acted in concert with them on this issue. The phrasing is a bit convoluted, though, so I can understand why you read it the way you did.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
You are correct – in haste, I read it wrong.
Mea Culpa!
gravenimage says
Thank you, James. I have certainly done the same several times.
Check Burry says
The eu are also expanding the eu state education system, ie brainwashing ALL the children in euspeak, thought, actions. They even think UK should continue funding this ponzi scheme even though we are told we have left, but we have not.
Eva says
Good for Hungary!!!! I wish boris the buffoon has a fraction of the spine of Mr Orban.
There might be some real hope in this country if he did.
ibtisam htewek says
if you want to stay in Europe so you should addaptitng not to turn it to an Arab country
ibtisam htewek says
I agree
gravenimage says
EU’s top court says Hungary’s attempt to keep Soros-founded university out of the country is unlawful
……………….
Orban should tell the EU to bugger off.
Dawne says
Just ignore the EU court ruling – France does when it suits itself. In any event I doubt that the ruling stands up to close examination of EU law – university provision/regulation is a purely domestic matter, not dealt with by the EU under the terms of the treaty.
