Deadline ends for Hungary, Soros-funded university to reach deal
|
[Al Jazeera] A self-imposed deadline by a university founded by US billionaire George Soros
... either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
to settle a legal dispute with the Hungarian government has passed, raising serious questions on academic freedom in the country.
Saturday marked the end of the embattled Central European University's (CEU) deadline to remain in Budapest, with the university now set to move its activities and start the 2019-2020 academic year in Vienna.
The move has been seen by students and some European politicians as a serious blow to a liberal bastion in Hungary, led by far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban's 's Fidesz party since 2010.
Soros, who promotes liberal causes through his charities, has been the subject of a campaign by Orban.
Earlier this year, his charity, Open Society Foundations, was forced to leave Hungary.
