This weekend Breitbart News reported that a majority of Hungarians support Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's "Anti-Soros university law", which would force foreign universities, such as the (((George Soros)))-founded Central European University (CEU) to adhere to new regulations.A poll conducted by the Századvég Foundation found that 70% of Hungarians support amendments to the Higher Education Act which would oblige foreign universities issuing degrees in Hungary to observe Hungarian regulations. The CEU was targetted because it was allowed to give out both Hungarian and American diplomas while not operating a campus in the USA.
Today, the left-wing billionaire admitted defeat, as CEU announced plans to move from Budapest to Vienna, in neighbouring Austria. The Deputy Rector of CEU said the university had already signed an agreement with a landlord in Vienna, but the administration was still hoping they would not have to move as they had set up a branch in New York state, as requested by the Hungarian government.
At a press conference earlier this week, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the government had yet to make a final decision on the fate of the university. As reported here, his Fidesz party won a massive two-thirds majority in the Hungarian parliament. Fidesz campaigned against the influence of foreign NGOs, many of which are part of the network of (((George Soros))) -- aka (((Gyorgy Schwartz))) -- and his Open Society Foundation.
Prime Minister Orbán has long denounced the billionaire's influence on the migration policies of the European Union claiming that the "Soros Plan" would see millions of migrants enter Europe. "The Soros network has an extensive sphere of influence within the European Parliament and other EU bodies," Mr. Orbán said last October, adding: "Its aim is to build a Europe of mixed population and to condemn the Hungarian government for opposing their view on migration."
