Civil Unity Forum Stages Demo In Brussels Against Soros Visit
Some 60 activists of Hungary’s pro-government Civil Unity Forum (CÖF) staged a demonstration in Brussels on Thursday to protest against Hungarian born US financier George Soros having talks with European leaders. CÖF leader László Csizmadia told participants that “Sorosism, together with migrants, should not be allowed to enter”.

Csizmadia called it “unfair” that European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and several commissioners were scheduled to meet Soros, while “the Hungarians won’t be listened to” in Brussels.

“It is unacceptable that a financier should interfere with the affairs of a sovereign state,” Csizmadia insisted.

Answering a question, Csizmadia denied press reports suggesting that his group had arrived in Brussels by air. He said that he had taken a flight with three other leaders and the rest had come by bus.
