Top EU court tells Hungary its ‘Stop Soros’ anti-migrant law is illegal

2021-11-17

[IsraelTimes] European Court of Justice says Orban’s government broke EU law by criminalizing helping refugees to apply for asylum.

The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
’s top court ruled Tuesday that Hungary broke EU law by making it a criminal offense for people or organizations to help ~~migrants~~ colonists and refugees apply for asylum, in a new legal blow to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s right-wing government.
EU clowning itself. I don't think Orban cares what they say
Hungary erected a razor-wire barrier on its border with Serbia and Croatia in 2015 as well over 1 million people, most fleeing conflict in Syria, entered the EU, often from ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
via Greece. Tens of thousands moved north, deeper into the EU, in search of sanctuary and better lives.

As more people arrived, Orban began to accuse Hungarian-born US billionaire George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
and groups linked to him of encouraging the ~~migrants~~ colonists. In 2018, Hungary’s government introduced legislation known as the "Stop Soros" laws that would make it an offense to help people apply for asylum.

The Hungarian government also started a billboard campaign against the Jewish billionaire and philanthropist, which was deemed antisemitic.

The posters showed a large picture of the émigré laughing, alongside the text: "Let’s not let Soros have the last laugh," a reference to government claims that Soros wants to force Hungary to allow in ~~migrants~~ colonists.

The European Court of Justice said Tuesday that Hungary had failed to fulfill its EU obligations "by criminalizing, in its national law, the actions of any person who, in connection with an organizing activity, provides assistance in respect of the making or lodging of an application for asylum in its territory..."

The Luxembourg-based court said the legislation restricts "the right of access to applicants for international protection and the right to communicate with those persons," as well as the right of the ~~migrants~~ colonists themselves to consult a legal advisor or counselor.

The court said the law cannot be justified by the aim of preventing "the assistance of misuse of the asylum procedure and of illegal immigration based on deception."

Orban’s government is a staunch opponent of immigration. Its treatment of ~~migrants~~ colonists and refugees has brought it into frequent conflict with many of its EU partners and the executive branch, the European Commission, which supervises the respect of the bloc’s laws.

#6 Schindler's Pissed, or, "Oskar, you'll follow Rickles, as usual."

I give you the Gitler of crime
Who could sell you your soul... for a time,
That rascal of Lodz,
To his ghetto a doge,
Of heritage purer
Than even der [Rechtsarmengrabben]!
Good Nutsies still toast him: "L'Chaim!"

#1 Just rewrite the law as "Stop Lukashenka," and the EU will do a 180 on it.
