Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, government officials presented the "Stop Soros" legislative package.
"The government has prepared another legislative package to combat illegal immigration; the proposed bill, which will be put forward for social debate, would require the supporters of illegal migration to disclose data and place a 25 percent duty on the funding they receive from abroad, in addition to which it would enable citizens who organise immigration to be served with newly introduced immigration restraining orders”, Minister of Interior Sandor Pinter said at his press conference in the recess of Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting, according to Kormany.hu. Government Spokesperson Zoltan Kovacs called the proposed legislative package the “Stop Soros” bill.
Kovacs discussed the three pillars of the package on his "About Hungary" blog:
"1. Every organisation that supports illegal immigration by using foreign financial resources would be registered and obliged to report on its activity.
2. A tax would be imposed on the foreign funding of organisations supporting illegal immigration. This public income would be invested in border protection.
3. It would be possible to issue restraining orders against those who take part in organising illegal immigration. In essence, such restraining orders would apply in any area that is within 8 kilometres of the Schengen border. In special cases, a third-country citizen would be subject to a restraining order anywhere within Hungary. This measure would remain in force until the end of the migration crisis".
