After closing its Budapest office last month, Open Society, the purportedly philanthropic organization created to push a liberal, globalist political agenda espoused by billionaire investor George Soros, said Tuesday that it has officially pulled out of Hungary after accusing Prime Minister Viktor Orban of "repressing civil society," according to the WSJ. The decision to shut down operations in Hungary comes as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “prepares to impose further restrictions on nongovernmental organisations through what it has branded its ‘Stop Soros’ package of legislation”, according to the statement.

What we know so far:
• OSF President Patrick Gaspard said: "The government of Hungary has denigrated and misrepresented our work and repressed civil society for the sake of political gain, using tactics unprecedented in the history of the European Union." It added, however, that it would “pursue all available legal avenues to defend the fundamental rights that are threatened by the legislation.”

The bill would allow the interior minister to ban any NGOs active in the immigration field deemed to pose a “national security risk.” It would also impose a 25 percent tax on foreign donations to NGOs that back migration.
