Hungary said it will not withdraw new legislation to regulate foreign universities that a Budapest college founded by American financier and philanthropist George Soros says could force it out of the country.

Central European University (CEU) said on Wednesday that the bill proposed this week was unacceptable and that it threatened academic freedom in Hungary, whose Prime Minister Viktor Orban has clashed with Soros-funded organizations.

CEU rector Michael Ignatieff met with Education Secretary Laszlo Palkovics late on Wednesday and told him the university demanded the bill be withdrawn and that rules ensuring foreign universities can operate freely are put in place.

The government said it was open to negotiations but would not withdraw the bill. …

Hungexit? Sounds like time to me. Probably can’t because of financial reasons though.

May GOD bless Hungary and Victor!

Every nation should ban everything and anything even remotely connected with Soros and his progeny!

I’m beginning to love Hungary. The Great One’s works still paying dividends.

Now THAT’S a president!

I think that Trump should just do us and the world a favor and have Georgie arrested for sedition and then exported to Russia since they have an open warrant against him for the crimes he committed against them. My guess is that the KGB would make certain that Georgie “disappears” permanently to someplace like Siberia. Which I hear is LOVELY this time of year.

President Orban is doing a great job standing up to Muslims as well.

I suspect the Eastern Bloc nations have long memories for tyranny.

Poor little ( it was once far larger) knows what it is to be invaded by and taken over by damned Muslims and doesn't want to go back to those gad old days!

I bet that they've gone back to learning, by heart, and reciting the poems of those great FREEDOM LOVING PATRIOTS, Petofi and Kussuth. :-)

That they do!

The ONLY good thing, that came from the damned Muslim takeover, was paprika and a wonderful crescent cookie, made to celebrate the Muslim ouster!

LOL...I was raised knowing who those two wonderful men were and learned some of their poems. :-)

When the first groups of Hungarians came to this country, they learned English, fell in love with this nation, most became avid GOP voters ( in NYC...no less ), and formed an ethnic fraternal and charitable society, named after Petofi. I grew up seeing a small statue of him at my grandparent's home and was taken to visit, many times, the HUGE bronze statue of Kossuth, in the park on Riverside Drive, not far from Grant's Tomb, which I also liked to visit.

One can keep one's heritage, ca,ll oneself only an AMERICAN, but still keep parts of one's heritage alive through food, dance, music, and poetry. :-)

I'm sorry that I sent you looking for who they were, but VERY happy that you DID look them up and learn a little bit about Hungary and WHY Orban is following in their footsteps and WHY the Hungarian people are refusing to be over run by Muslim FILTH; yet again.

OMG! What a heavenly story! I will add Hungary to my top three favorite countries, outside of the USA! Always said, if I must flee and fight there was only always Israel and always Poland! May God bless Hungary, richly, for what they have done.
