After Election Wi

After the Fidesz party secured a strong majority in the country’s parliament in Sunday’s elections, there have been reports that the new government could adopt a legislation to ban migration-friendly, non-governmental organizations on Hungarian soil.

All NGOs in Hungary that advocate open borders and a liberal approach toward migration might be potentially banned starting from May, Janos Halasz, a Fidesz spokesman said on Monday, cited by the state news agency MTI.

The official noted that the new parliament, which could be formed by the end of April, could adopt the new legislation among its first initiatives.

The law will, among other things, introduce a 25 percent tax on foreign financial assistance to NGOs that support migration in Hungary.

The announcement came a day after Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban won a third term, with his Fidesz party securing a strong majority in the country’s parliament.

Many of the NGO's that are migration friendly are subsidized by NKW (you know who).

The idea of a 25% tax to send money out of the country sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we should suggest a similar tax for all the money sent south of the border.
