Hungary vilifies financier Soros with crude poster campaign
2017-07-11
[BBC] Giant posters vilifying the financier George Soros
...the secretive Hungarian born Ernst Stavro Blofeld-like billionaire who seems to fund every horrible progressive organization you can think of...
have gone up all over Hungary - the crudest step in the latest campaign by the rightwing Fidesz government against the 86-year-old Hungarian-born philanthropist.

Many Hungarian Jews fear that open or concealed anti-Semitism lies behind the campaign. The government strenuously denies this.

The posters show a grinning Mr Soros beside the words, "Don't let Soros have the last laugh".

In smaller letters at the top of the poster is the message, "99% reject illegal immigration."

The government has spent an estimated 5.7bn forints (€19m; £16.3m; $21m) on the campaign, which follows an earlier series of poster campaigns and "national consultations" designed to stir up public feeling against refugees.

Israel backs Hungary, says financier Soros is a threat

[Ynet] Israel's foreign ministry says a call by its ambassador to Hungary for an end to the billboard campaign against George Soros was not meant to ’delegitimize’ criticism of the Hungarian-American billionaire.
