>In order to demonstrate his political distance from Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is ready to repay the scholarship that he received from Sorosʼs foundation in 1989, Cabinet Chief János Lázár said today.
>Orbán advocates keeping refugees and asylum seekers out of Hungary and Europe. He has said it is essential to keep Muslims from “diluting” Europeʼs Christian population and that keeping refugees out of this country is necessary to protect Hungariansʼ “wives and daughters”.
>Lázár said that, just because officials once received funding from Soros does not mean they are beholden to the philanthropist. “It is a big problem if György Soros believes that scholarships provided by him should go hand in hand with promoting his views, without criticizing them,” Lázár told the press conference.
