Hungary passes anti-immigrant 'Stop Soros' laws

Source: The Guardian

Hungary’s parliament has passed a series of laws that criminalise any individual or group that offers to help an illegal immigrant claim asylum.

Soros is Jewish. The right-wing in our country shows its true self when it attacks Soros.
