He certainly seems the only leader who is concerned enough about his own citizens to do something about it.
To be part of the European Union means you have to shed your national identity and be part of everybody. It is no longer acceptable to be yourself. This agenda serves the 1 percent and Washington, Paul Craig Roberts, an American economist, told RT in an interview.
Billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros has attracted attention once again, this time saying the European Union should take "at least a million" refugees every year to ease the mass exodus of desperate people from the Middle East and Africa.
Soros wants the EU to dig deep and pay an annual amount of "at least €5,000 per refugee, or €20 billion." And this coming at a time of severe austerity measures pushed onto the European people, not to mention the bailout of entire countries, like Greece.
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and -- and anticipate events and when -- when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a -- a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that's -- that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not -- not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't -- you don't see the connection. But it was -- it created no -- no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c -- I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was -- well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets -- that if I weren't there -- of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would -- would -- would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the -- whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the -- I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.

In order to "Globalize" we have to get rid of those nasty traditions and national identities so we can all be destabilized, balkanized sh1tholes.

Soros's ‘European values’ mean losing your national identity

Let me have my Hungarian input on this topic. I've left almost 9 years ago, but I still follow the events on a daily basis. I'm 38, I clearly remember Viktor Orban from 1989 as a young impulsive rebellist guy against the communist regime. 1989 the year when the Iron Curtain fell down and hungarians helped East-German people to flee through the border to Austria (Paneuropean-picnic). I remember even better the year 1998, the first time he's became the Prime Minister. It was totally disappointing to see how far he has drifted from that good start.
Around that time the end of th 90's I've finally learned a bit about Orban, most importantly (regarding the OP) that he went to Oxford University with a financial support from a foundation by Soros György aka George Soros. That time was still communism, he was member of the communist youths organization "K I SZ" (one must have joined to get any close to polity) he was very promising, with his charismatic appearance and suggestive speaking skills he (and very few others) had seemed that once he will be a great leader. Unfortunately he has lost sanity after he failed the 2002 and went even more insane after the 2006 election. He is the major cause of ditches in the Hungarian society. The division is so enormous that it's impossible to effectively discuss and resolve any kind of national issue. No compromises are possible one is either a "kommunista" or a "náci" (I think I don't need to explain) if doesn't agree with the other. Any sane talk is close to impossible on this level of hatred. The government is a bunch of criminal referring themselves as "christian-conservative"... not like they are any kind of those.
Just a few scandalous example from the last 5 years.
In 2010 after Viktor Orban with his party Fidesz won by 2/3 of majority, they rewrote the constitution without any kind of consensus with either people nor any other party.
The hospitals are crumbling, nurses earning a degrading cca. 300 euro/month, a beginner doctor around 500/month. Thousands and thousand are moving abroad, there are tens of thousands unfilled positions in the sector, those still there are overloaded, burnt-out, and usually the older generation who can't or doesn't want restart. Hospitals are in a huge financial debt, some can't afford to buy medicine so the relatives purchasing medicine, hygiene stuff like soap and toilett paper. Have a look on this facebook photo album with hundreds of pictures from Hungarian hospitals... you will not believe unless you're from a 3rd world or post communist country. ^^

The education is pretty much the same like hospitals. Educational worker equals to healthcare worker. Schools are in a huge financial debt, parents putting money together for chalk, hygenic products, and the buildings are in quite the same shape.
According to recent researches there are 0.5 million people living in serious indigence and cca. 1.3 million family is under the powery level. The count of children thretened by hunger is 20%, so every 5th children who's not getting enough food on daily basis.
Edit: I totally forget about the 10 billion euro worth of pension funds they said they will "protect it" and funnelled it into the common budget. We used say in a funny way: "he communised it away", or "he took it over for communist preservation".
These are let's say the 3+1 major issues, the tip of the iceberg. Frankly, I could go on till midnight.
And now, here is where it gets crazy.... Viktor Orbán....
... he origins from a small village of max.1500 people called "Felcsút". He has his friend from childhood Lőrinc Mészáros a once totally average freelancer gas man in 2010 becomes the mayor of the village. With this guy's and some other (p)oligarch friend's company they have built a football stadium and training center with the capacity of 3000. Not like the village is not in the middle of nowhere, don't you dare to think... BUT YES there is big effing nothing there except the soccer b.s. Ohh, and that old friend Lőrinc Mészáros today he is one of the richest person in the country. In 5 years from nothing to top 10. Wow. And I wish I could have time to make subtitle for those epic news interviews... you would LOYA.
If you want to have a bonus laugh check when was last time when Hungary qualified? Just because during the last 5 years they spent approximately 2 billion euros.
And this is frankly just the rough surface, it's so smooth on effectiveness, so well operated, meanwhile shamelessly done... it's disgusting. It is a real mafia. They don't even follow their own laws... than they get revealed they reset the laws according to reality. You would be wondering if you could understand, seriously.
PublicOpinion and Kokatsi are absolutely right.
So long story short, whatever he says it's always a second thinking behind. He is only for his own benefit, whatever serves him is fine. I think this time Putin is telling him what to say and when. Orban himself over the last decade often used to say (and also seen in written sources) for his foreing colleagues specially during campaigns: "pay no attention to what I say to get elected", "ignore what I say", "don't listen to my words, rather watch my actions", etc... sick in his head.
See, I don't have much in common with a great number of bald-headed iron-pumping anti-Roma and anti-Semite guys just because they happen to speak the same mother tongue as I do. Or not really, because their language has been heavily corrupted by TV.

This is part of speech that was given by Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, a few days ago.
dailynewshungary.com...
and more of this speech is discussed here:
www.prisonplanet.com...
He suggests in article above "that billionaire investor George Soros is directing activists trying to undermine European Nations by supporting the migrant influx".
I must confess I didn't know who George Soros was to had to google him and came across this article:
www.naturalnews.com...#
in which it headlines "George Soros letter reveals globalist plan to destroy the First World by eliminating national borders with global migrant blitzkreig invasions"
Apparently he is an Hungarian who now lives in US and is also causing problems for the US. I am sure there will be many on ATS from that area of the world who will probably know more about him.
Maybe all the conspiracy theories about the NWO are coming to fruition. I've said all along I find it very odd that these migrants suddenly started coming even though there has been war raging in Syria and other countries for a few years now. It was almost like a shot had been fired and someone shouted "Go". I have also commented many times how I find it extremely odd that none of the EU Countries seem to be doing anything to stop the flow or at least make it more organised. I really do think some of these leaders are being paid off, Merkel being one at the top.
I know the Hungarian Prime Minister is right wing and not very liked in a lot of circles but maybe he is the only one who is seeing the truth and trying to stop it. He certainly seems the only leader who is concerned enough about his own citizens to do something about it.
Rather interestingly as well I saw this article dailynewshungary.com... which says that 80% of the migrants don't have any formal qualifications. Apparently, Germany wanted to welcome these immigrants to help prop up the economy and workforce in Germany because of an ageing society. If 80% are unqualified, and don't speak German then I don't think they are going to be helping Germany much in that respect.
I know in the UK whenever immigration is mentioned we are always told it is a good thing for the UK because we need doctors, nurses etc. Obviously, we do need qualified immigrants here but we certainly don't need any more immigrants who have nothing to offer the Country because otherwise they will just put more strain on our already buckling welfare system.
