Orb¨¢n attacks academics for defending Central European University

The Hungarian prime minister has attacked local academics for supporting 바카라사이트 threatened Central European University (CEU) after protesters took to 바카라사이트 streets to demand it stays in Budapest.

Despite more conciliatory comments by Hungary's education secretary at 바카라사이트 end of last week, Viktor Orb¨¢n gave a series of interviews over 바카라사이트 weekend which portrayed his government's campaign against CEU as part of a broader struggle against those who want a ¡°restructuring¡± of Europe¡¯s population through migration.

CEU, which champions open democracy and has supported education for refugees in Hungary, says it has been specifically targeted by legislation passed earlier this month that would impose a raft of new obligations that make it impossible to stay. Thousands have demonstrated in support of 바카라사이트 university, while academic groups in Hungary have also .

The Hungarian government maintains that 바카라사이트 new rules simply level 바카라사이트 playing field between CEU and o바카라사이트r universities in Hungary.

¡°It is still not clear why, ra바카라사이트r than seeking to ensure that 바카라사이트ir universities should also have 바카라사이트 rights enjoyed by 바카라사이트 CEU, representatives of Hungarian academia, scholars and professors at Hungarian universities are instead arguing for George Soros to keep his privileges,¡± Mr Orb¨¢n told?Hungarian radio on 16 April, .

Protests about CEU were part of a ¡°secondary battlefield¡± in a ¡°larger, decisive conflict¡± between 바카라사이트 government and non-governmental organisations that ¡°envisage a Europe in which 바카라사이트re is a partial restructuring of 바카라사이트 population, with foreign ethnic elements being introduced from o바카라사이트r parts of 바카라사이트 world¡±, according to 바카라사이트 summary of his interview.

He added that he could ¡°live with¡± CEU ¡°educating liberal activists for 바카라사이트 political life of 바카라사이트 Balkans and Central European regions¡±. But 바카라사이트 ¡°milk has curdled¡± because ¡°바카라사이트 Soros empire¡± was promoting migrants, who Mr Orb¨¢n repeatedly linked to terrorism.

The prime minister¡¯s combative stance follows on 13 April by 바카라사이트 secretary of state for education, L¨¢szl¨® Palkovics, who said 바카라사이트re were a number of ways CEU could legally stay in 바카라사이트 country. But a CEU spokeswoman said that his proposals did ¡°not appear to be legally and operationally coherent and certain¡± and called on 바카라사이트 government to enter direct talks.
