Hungarian-American Billionaire Soros Sees Open Society Under Attack
- 10 Jun 2016 9:00 AM
The idea of the open society is under attack, Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros told Népszabadság on Thursday as he attended a conference on Roma affairs in Brussels. Asked if the growing xenophobia in Europe will hinder the acceptance of Roma and other minorities in society and the idea of the open society that he advocates, Soros said xenophobia also afflicts refugees, not just Roma.
“I think the battle is for European values, everything that Europe stands for. We must defend those values that led to the establishment of the EU together.”
