The first action the new left-wing globalist mayor of Budapest has taken since being elected has been to allow George Soros’s Central European University (CEU) to stay in the Hungarian capital.
Last year, CEU had planned to move its degree programs to Vienna after the Hungarian government passed a law in 2017 that declared the university could no longer issue US diplomas alongside Hungarian ones.
On Sunday, Hungary’s opposition parties banded together in a coalition that managed defeated the Fidesz party in local elections across several cities, the most consequential of which was Hungary’s capital city, Budapest. Parties that have been ideologically opposed to one another in the past came together as one just to barely beat Viktor Orbán’s party in several local elections.
Budapest’s former mayor Istvan Taros, of Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party, will be replaced by the green party’s Gregely Karacsony.
Karacsony has pledged to enact several changes in the Hungarian capital.
According to a report by the Financial Times, one of his top priorities is to ask George Soros’s Central European University to remain in Budapest.
Central European University, a liberal-arts university founded the preeminent globalist and far-left George Soros, had recently transferred much of its operation to Vienna after being forced out of Hungary by legislation passed by Fidesz.
Viktor Orbán’s government views Soros and his university as propagating ideas, values, and policies that run counter to the ideas, values, and policies of Hungary’s illiberal democracy.
Orbán has accused Soros multiple times of using his billions to flood Europe with migrants, as well as propagating neo-Marxist ideas throughout the continent.
Now, following Hungary’s municipal elections, three million of Hungary’s ten million citizens live in areas where the leftist opposition has power locally.
