In a dramatic example of blowback against the establishment in the post-Trumpian world, Hungary announced it plans to crack down on non-governmental organizations linked to billionaire George Soros now that Donald Trump will occupy the White House.
The European Union member, and native country of Soros, will use "all the tools at its disposal" to sweep out NGOs funded by the Hungarian-born financier, which serve global capitalists and back political correctness over national governments, Szilard Nemeth, a vice president of the ruling Fidesz party, told reporters on Tuesday. No one answered the phone at the Open Society Institute in Budapest when Bloomberg News called outside business hours.
I feel that there is an opportunity for this, internationally, because of Trumps election, state news service MTI reported Nemeth as saying. Lawmakers will start debating a bill to let authorities audit NGO executives, according to parliaments legislative agenda.
As a reminder, Orban was the first European leader to publicly back Trumps campaign, and was reportedly invited by Trump to visit the US; he has ignored criticism from the European Commission and U.S. President Barack Obamas administration for building a self-described illiberal state modeled on authoritarian regimes including Russia, China and Turkey. In 2014, Orban personally ordered the state audit agency to probe foundations financed by Norway and said that civil society groups financed from abroad were covers for paid political activists. As a result of Trump's victory, Orban has felt empowered to further last out against Europe's established structures, and its core supporters.
As Bloomberg notes, Orban and his administration have repeatedly singled out NGOs supported by Soros, a prominent Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party supporter, with a wide network of organizations that promote democracy in formerly communist eastern Europe.

Too much win!
My profound and humble thanks to the savior of Western civilization.
I’d be happy to send $100 and a dozen cookies to the President of Hungary if he has that evil little troll arrested and jailed for the rest of his life!
Ditto
I should be visiting Budhapest in May. Can’t wait now. I like this Orban.
I loved this country when we traveled there last year. Now, I love it even more!! The people there are solidly grounded on the BS perpetrated by the Communists for decades, and the progressive creep that occurs over time. They were beginning to receive the muzzie scum when we were there, and we lost our personal interpreter/guide for a day when she was redirected to the train stations. We learned they refused any of said scum, but “facilitated” transportation North to Bitch Merkel’s country. Guide was back with us the next day, and we had inspiring conversation with guide as well. Guide thought O$hithead was doing wonderful things here. We unloaded on her, to correct that misconception!!
They had best get him before he gets them.
Did you mean Anthony Weiner?
Doing the job the American Government won’t do.
DITTO!!!!
I was there in 87 and 88. A whole different world.
Actually, the Pope - at the time in question - called Vlad Tepes the savior of Western Civilization.
Who was Vlad Tepes you ask?
Well, you might know him better as Count Dracula.
What had he done to earn such high praise you say?
He held back the invasion of Western Europe by Muslims from the Ottoman Empire in the 1400’s.
They also called him Vlad the Impaler - why? Because some estimates are he had upwards 40,000 people impaler, mostly Muslims.
“Doing the job the American Government wont do.”
My first thought upon reading the headline was “why aren’t any ‘republicans’ doing this here???” It’s the very least they could do, since he should’ve been banned from the U.S. many years ago.
