Fidesz hits back at CoE commissioner's call to scrap 'Stop Soros' bill

Ruling Fidesz has hit back at Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatovic's call for the Hungarian government to withdraw its "Stop Soros" package of bills that would criminalise the organisation of illegal migration, saying that US financier George Soros "has associates everywhere". Mijatovic on Friday expressed her concern over the bill, calling it "a worrying human rights development" and saying that it was likely to "incite xenophobia against migrants and mistrust of those committed to helping them". Istvan Hollik, the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance's parliamentary spokesman, said Mijatovic's statement proved that the "Soros network" was still working to implement the "Soros plan" to settle as many migrants as possible in Europe.
