David Pressman, the US ambassador to Budapest, did not leave out Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s reaction to the fact that Georgi Soros is retiring and his son, Alexander Soros, is taking his place. The Prime Minister responded to the news with an iconic scene from The Godfather, to which the American diplomat wrote in a tweet:
Dog bite conspiracy theories are just like The Godfather III. It is predictable and disturbing.
Seeing the scene from The Godfather and Soros 2.0’s expressions, the European left also did not back down, reacting violently to the position of the Hungarian Prime Minister. Michael Roth, chairman of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee and member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), tweeted: “It’s disgusting. Mr. Orban is the shame of Europe.” Daniel Freund, a member of the European Parliament from the German Green Party, who has repeatedly criticized our country, did not like the reaction of the Hungarian prime minister either: “Look at this tweet and then tell me who the gangster is,” he wrote on his Twitter page.
the Brussels news portal Politico He directly accuses the Hungarian leadership of “spreading an anti-Semitic narrative.” Just a few days ago, Josh Hammer, an American opinion leader who spoke at CPAC Hungary, published an article on Newsweek confusing criticism of Soros with anti-Semitism. “His criticism of Soros immediately carries the stigma of anti-Semitism and the charge of insulting Jews,” he said in an opinion piece. But, he added, only Soros’ critics “want to share their opinions about one of the most influential political donors and social activists in the world. About someone who distributes money indiscriminately in order to undermine and remake entire countries on different continents in the way he wishes.”
