In his youth one carrion Prime Minister viktor orban was hailed as a champ freedom these days hes routinely been a phony as a migrant bashing nationalist is authoritarian agenda threatens democratic norms in july 29 teams the same time i went on the sly hungry steve allen as a so concerned now as open seeks almost unlimited powers to move by decree amidst the corrent of our as crisis less showing thats the only game. Hungary is unquestionably one of europes most beautiful countries. The seat of power of budapest much as any capital for share opulence. Its fairytale paul and is perhaps the prettiest in europe. But for the last decade according to critics it has passed some of the ugliest laws on the continent. Vics all been has given hungary for 13 years during which time he has taken steps which mirror those taken by other autocrats centralizing power detailing press freedom and attacking and g. M. He likes this kind of new types of opportunity and leaders are also the ones who are coming moving the political system that he pushes your way. Too lazy motives all for her bonnet this treasure them is on one hand the concentration of political power and on the other on the actual ational personal wealth his refugee policy is the whole shift. What is happening in hungary is quite unique this type of treatment of depriving Asylum Seekers of food. Winning less than hoff of buds his policy for desh in concert with its smallest satellite allies the christian democratic peoples paltry nevertheless commands of eva 2 thirds of the fallen tree sakes alive to change the countrys constitution at 12 this is the hybrid regime said new in liberal states a bit in the heart of europe its not the kind of political system that we have seen before its a new phenomenon. Last month theyve all been launched his campaign for the european parliamentary elections with an extraordinary outburst. On the model visitors site has also couple. After a powerful wealthy fellow party x. Time or any. Other thing. Well i mean. What. A member. Echoing this sentiment of the campaign unflattering photographs of the European Commission president john poor young and hungarian born billionaire george soros whom the hungarian government accuses of sending this to you are. The text read you have the rights to marry what brussels is planning. To. The firm that enraged young. You like it belongs to the used largest political grouping the European Peoples Party it pledged to the suspension for the shes membership of the group. The irony say observe this of the regime is that those close to him have done very well out of the e. U. The free store. Arguably he is the richest. And 10 years ago. And to prefer companies of his father. They still benefit from. Projects on the one hand. The same time on the other hand is. Benefiting rich. Its hard to believe that europes but boy was once hailed as a champion of freedom and played a part in bringing democracy to the former communist state. Passed a couple it funny had protested alongside all but against the communists 30 years ago but his night one of his most outspoken critics. Yvonne yee runs shelters for the homeless the roma and for refugees 3 groups which have become targets of the regime. To course who have frequented or impaired i would be gutted too as i can hardly go in he says men there were no more they are all up to the back of you have only me your sack a switcher as democrats here on a book or article crazy and skinny or korean. Them to them a while york with what your cage be called while youre queer go along man. Instead of demonizing refugees if i knew gives them jobs people like miriam a nurse who escaped afghanistan 4 years ago another cares for the 2nd timeless as one of the past as shelters. Acts such as these of put it viney at all its with all but his defining policy has been to attack Asylum Seekers. In 2015 at the height of the refugee crisis all been ordered the construction of a heavily guarded border fence talked with razor wire to keep an eye to saddam secrets. It stretches for 175 kilometers along the border with serbia. The the fence has proved popular with hungarys many nationalist movements including the far right paramilitary group. The sort of civil. Libertarians just the sure to shoot out boy im sure. They believe the fence should be extended the fast is just a couple of 100 kilometers why stop millions come to europe good to label you good to me i mean very very fierce irish you could say evolution of of their shock but good cheer in hungary is very safe place no need to log the door like in london and on is not english city anymore. I love this place we try to keep this safe the fence is gold. Just transit along the 175 kilometer length of the france which would make a maximum of 2 people a Day Transit Center are cruel and tiny space there is the containers and the by barriers simply knowing that you are locked in for an unpredictable time. With an unpredictable future is very stressful. But for some of the detainees this is the least of their worries. In august last year weve heard of the 1st cases where people were held in detention in the border transit. But the authorities have stopped giving the adults food. If someone is in the legal then obviously he or she or the father he should be taken care of themselves but keep in mind that if you or myself decide to go to the United States but our requests to stand down nobodys going to take care of us. Want to have care and government actually says is that people who have been refused asylum in hungary even though they are detained should not be given food. This smacks of cynicism you know and in humanity the same time recognition rates for refugees in hungary is among the lowest in the European Union while you watch state media you would think that you know we are literally being invaded by hundreds or thousands. They will take videos that are completely taken out of context and they will show them on state t. V. Claiming that its from a particular time or a particular location and then if you do some basic Fact Checking you will see that thats not the case at all. This is the border with serbia. Before cry from what would have you believe. We. Just to Asylum Seekers waiting for a chance to be admitted into hungary. Family is a nearby Refugee Center on the outskirts of the serbian city of super to its. Owner but his sisters decided to leave afghanistan after they were informed that they would be forced into marriage they were pursued across iran and turkey by angry relatives and suffered many traumas. My mom on this and my sister said on my little bit of the cross that you dont border the police through there. If you start they will bit you. Like many before them saina and her family crossed on a dangerously overloaded boat into greece. We said we dont want dog and thats what theyre at 55. 00 or 50 people there so youre off to go if you dont go theyve got their gun. And they say ill still go. But anyone looking enough to survive such trials and then make it to hungary receives Little Health or sympathy from the state. This is largely provided by charities. Those who support migrant charities are also talkative the biggest bogeyman is one gary inborn american financier and the long trippiest george soros through his open Society Foundation the billionaire has spent hundreds of millions of dollars funding Civil Society and education projects in hungary the country of his birth with mr chavez we have our if you like political differences. He has become. A Major Political influence. By his word by his investments by the organization of framework and the work he maintains soros has been vilified in the garion press sure. But. I would say that about. 7580 percent of the media is under the control or for bad and it has a huge impact on the Public Opinion short or church of us or for us for example when they started the campaign against him a few years ago was an arm known and a neutral figure and it became a figure that Everybody Knows and there really hates. Last year that i should pass the stop soros law designed to inhibit the work of n. G. O. S. Elected by what your cycle octave can refer to if you know theodore that we know that angie all mean as you guys are to start as you alice she ask if is it that she gets mean therefore took out of me fast that empties before you them to toss or salmon. Critics say this vilification of a prominent a philanthropist who happens also to be jewish of the north sea era propaganda. Agnes have a bear in mind when gary and philosopher who survived the holocaust is not surprised she has cell phone victim to the desh sponsored and t. Semitic Smear Campaign he picked shot rush Big Shoulders because he was a joe and he believed he said he teach people at n. B. S. That dont like people and they dont tyke america but i dont flag. Hungary is home to one of europes largest jewish communities it supports the biggest synagogue on the continent as well as an internationally renowned Holocaust Museum a chilling testament to the crimes committed by hank gary and fascists in the 1930 s. And fortys when harf a 1000000 jews the center irish. With risings an if. Some here fear the specs of fascism may return. Many of them hadnt even jewish families are you know ready to leave. Because they know that if they know from their. Family history that if you have to leave you have to leave right away. This is a memorial to mark the site where jewish men women and children were handcuffed weighted and thrown into the time you joined the nazi years commissioned by the previous administration. But in recent years hungarys fascist past has undergone a may cave. This is opens by morial to German Occupation situated next to the garry and paul. You might be forgiven for thinking that hungry was a victim of the holocaust rather than a participant. A memorial at all German Occupation is about a negro which comes down to that. And found that he is the angel and the eagle is the german which suggests a lie. About the holocaust and particularly about the hungary and all and all of us because the whole of the partition was carried out by hungary and jad that make and by the high getting situations and instead of digesting this were still in. In a stage of the nile. Its not just one greece past thats proving controversial. These people are protesting over all bans plan to close hungarys leading educational establishment the Central European university known as the see you which in shrines the ideas of democracy and liberalism it is not only about. Promoting about preaching about open Society Democratic but its about studying no imperfections of democracy. The c. E. U. Has an open door policy to students regardless of ethnicity and so the brights multiculturalism. A stance which puts a total its with all but who in 2017 decided to close it sparking incredulity. Congo ariens should ask themselves who benefits here. Does it benefit budapest to chase an institution out of the country does it benefit hungary. Thousands came out onto the streets angry and bewildered at the time greece finest university was being forced to relocate to the n. Many believe open slaving for the c. E. U. Is done to the fact that it was funded by george soros they for destiny neither is a link and claim that the universities ability to issue american diplomas is incompatible with think garion legislation is a matter of rule of law it is impossible that you see you or anybody else enjoys the luxury and benefits of fishing american diplomas thats the simple reason i think its its a red flag if a warning sign that this might be there that the rec center where were heading where in the bend and if the 2 sat that speak out for human rights that speak out for the generally quality of the sense that a country is being. Chased away. The now inevitable exodus of academic staff and students from hungary is a microcosm of a much bigger problem talented professionals or quitting the country in lowest numbers close to a 1000000 hi gary insofar left in the last decade one in 10 of the population. Good cake a bunch has a satirical group which competes in elections as the hind garion 2 tails dog poti that regularly opens policies including those on immigration. Hes printed speech monday bearing the faces of obama opponents. His george soros 500 for and night changes hands for 700 foreign. Firm in the us. Think of it fairly i would get on a bit and maybe that would show question care to my adversary. When the. Elected obama. But the shortage of skilled workers is now becoming serious so all buns government came.

To go quickly to the slaves lol this is what sports yes more protests and budapest which began last december lasting several months. Employers might not have to pay for this extra work for 3 years. The slave lol could have been used to make people work such long hours that they would not have a weekend and payment would be so delayed by that time maybe the company would even go bankrupt and you would never get paid. For the 1st time demonstration spread to other times quickly becoming a nationwide phenomenon. Something else happened to you. It was the 1st time when the Opposition Party stopped talking about corporation and stopped talking about how bad the situation but went on the street us thought it to act. On a turnoff quickly emerged as the poster girl of the protests everybody felt angry and frustrated at that moment there were no labels that woman there were a community a group of people at the street who feels the same.

Ana would become one of momentum is 1st and me peace. But there was never any ties who would win. Or buns vs anti migrant trying to rick was again sufficient to secure victory. But its not the 1st time angry has been sealed off from the outside world some people are old enough to remember what it was like when the iron curtain divided europe in much the same way opens border fence and i separate serbia from hungary today the old cold war frontier is a popular psychopath and people need freely between hungary and austria. Back then try to axe it without permission and youd be in big trouble all over to own up to utah she had.
