Billionaire investor George Soros has confirmed he wants to bring down Europe's borders, following the accusation made last week by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Last week, Mr Orban accused Mr Soros – who was born in Hungary – of deliberately encouraging the migrant crisis.
"This invasion is driven, on the one hand, by people smugglers, and on the other by those (human rights) activists who support everything that weakens the nation-state," Mr Orban said.
"This Western mindset and this activist network is perhaps best represented by George Soros."
Mr Soros has now issued an email statement to Bloomberg Business, claiming his foundations help "uphold European values", while Mr Oban's actions in strengthening the Hungarian border and stopping a huge migrant influx "undermine those values."

"His plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle," Mr Soros added. "Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle."
Last month, Mr Orban accused pro-immigration non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of "drawing a living from the immigration crisis," singling out those funded by Mr Soros.
George Soros is a firm backer of transnational bodies such as the European Union, and his Open Society Foundation (OSF) provides assistance for pro-migration activists. He is well-known for his support for "progressive" causes such as the Centre for American Progress, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The OSF website explains: "We believe that migration and asylum policy should be grounded in economic and demographic realities, not driven by temporary political considerations or popular misconceptions.

"In Europe, many of our civil society partners are raising their voices demanding a common European approach in line with international human rights commitments."
Mr Orban said in an interview last month that immigration and multiculturalism are endangering Europe's "Christian roots" and creating "parallel societies."
Europeans, he said, should "stick to our Christian values" and "Europe can be saved," but only if they "take seriously the traditions, the Christian roots and all the values that are the basis of the civilization of Europe."
Soros is so rich he thinks he can do what he wants when he wants and he does. Too much power for one man to have. King complex.
We have a candidate running for president who is so rich he thinks he can do what he wants when he wants. Too much power for one man to have as head of a government supposed to stay within The Constitution. King complex.
We now have a president who thinks he can do what he wants when he wants and he does, directly in opposition to the constitution. King complex.
The above is my opinion which is free speech under the First Amendment to The Constitution, know as the Bill Of Rights.
What the useful idiots and libertarians don’t understand is that the invading gangs will not play by their rules. They should try their open borders and economic anarchy in Mexico, South and Central America, and the Islamic countries and see what treatment they get. Anyone think that Mexican cartels care about gringos? Do Muslims care about democracy? One can hope Trump is sincere and he wins in 2016.
You’re comparing Trump to Obama and Soros?
My dad used to tell something that seems applicable here. "You can't rationalize with irrational people."
You can’t reason someone out of something
he hasn’t been reasoned into.
It’s true, and it applies to many facets of life.
If you’re waiting for George Soros to die, you better read about his son....
so this means soros will support US citizens voting in Mexican elections?....Hell, we can’t get them to vote in US elections!
Why hasn’t Putin had this pos killed yet?
Be kind, they have so little to work with.
Oh great.
There’s a lot of hatred wrapped up in that old wrinkled skin. This maggot is proof that the good die young. This old Nazi bastard will probably live to be 200 years old.
He’s essentially an international criminal.
He’s essentially acting to destroy free Europe.
If the E. U. had any family jewels, it would indict him and try him for an attack on Europe.
This is an invasion. He admits to orchestrating it.
For all the death and destruction this evil thug has fomented,
execution is too kind.
Evil...
yes he is demon spawn
Soros, you evil man, may you rot in hell!
So he admits to suborning terrorism. Arrest and deport him.
Agreed.
