BUDAPEST (Reuters) - George Soros' Open Society Foundations will close their office in Budapest and move their eastern European operations to Berlin, Austria's Die Presse newspaper reported on Thursday.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has blamed Soros, a Hungarian-born U.S. financier, for a host of ills and pushed through legislation cracking down on non-governmental organizations called the "Stop Soros" laws which drew international criticism.
The Hungarian news web site 444.hu said the Open Society Foundations office would shut by Aug. 31 and move first to Vienna then on to Berlin.
Reuters was not been able to immediately reach the Open Society Foundations either in Budapest or New York.
Orban, a self-styled champion of what he calls an "illiberal democracy", has long been at odds with Soros' network of NGO's which promote liberal values around the world.

Why can’t the Hungarian government just make him disappear altogether?

Conducting retrograde operations all the way to Berlin? Somebody did some quick calculating on the odds of getting thrown out of all the other Eastern European countries and hightailed it back to the safety of Frau Merkle.

Is that the same route that Hitler took?

This is probably a ruse, to reduce resistance, but it is a win anyway.

Yahoo is painting the vile evil Soros as a victim. Nothing could be further from the truth. He should be extradited to Malaysia, Thailand or a host of other places which he has looted, given a fair trial and a proper hanging.
