Strange
things happen in East and Central Europe that get little mention from media
outlets. Two heads of state, the PMs of Slovenia and Slovakia, resigned almost
simultaneously. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was a victim of the scandal
over the murder of Jan Kuciak, a journalist who was investigating government
corruption. The PM had to step down amid mass street protests.
Mr.
Fico was known for his support of a stronger Visegrad Group. He opposed
Brussels on many issues. It’s worth noting that he called
for lifting sanctions and improving relations with Moscow. The
PM was adamant that Russia was a reliable energy partner.
Is it a coincidence that he was forced to resign amid the anti-Russia campaign
triggered by the Skripal case and other obviously
concocted stories used as false pretexts for incessant attacks on Moscow?
Wasn’t he a threat to the so-called unity of the EU against Russia? He
definitely was.
The
PM did not hide the fact that his decision was made under great pressure.
The ouster was engineered by outside forces, including philanthropist billionaire George
Soros. For instance, Slovak President Andrej Kiska had a private meeting with
the billionaire in September, 2017. It was a one-on-one conversation. No Slovak
diplomat was present there.
According to Foreign
Minister Miroslav Lajčák, “George Soros is a man who has had a major
influence on the development in Eastern and Central Europe and beyond. That is
a fact that cannot be questioned.” PM Viktor Orbán had this say about the
event: “George Soros and his network are making use of every possible
opportunity to overthrow governments that are resisting immigration.”
Slovenian
PM Miro Cerar was attacked by Soros for his
opposition to the EU policy on immigration. George Soros did
not hide the fact that he was an ardent opponent of Miro Cerar’s
stance. “It is an obligation for Europe to receive migrants,” the US
financier lectured Europeans.
Now the PM has to go, after the results of a referendum on a key economic
project were annulled by the top court and the media attacks on his stance
regarding asylum seekers intensified. With Cerar no longer at the helm, the
opposition movement to Brussels’s dictatorship has been weakened.
Who’s
next? Probably Hungary, which has become a target for Soros’s attacks.
The American billionaire has invested more than $400 million into his native
country since 1989. He has also announced his intention to influence the
Hungarian election campaign and has employed 2,000 people for
that purpose. The government wants its “Stop Soros” bills to
become laws. No doubt Hungary will come under attack for opposing the
financier’s network.
Brussels will raise a hue and cry, criticizing the “undemocratic
regime” ruling the country. The next parliamentary elections in Hungary will be
held on April 8, 2018. It’ll be a tough fight to preserve independence while
fending off attempts to impose US pressure through Soros-backed NGOs and
educational institutions.
Soros’s
activities are also being resisted in
the Czech Republic. Czech President Milos Zeman has accused the groups
affiliated with Soros of meddling in his nation’s internal
affairs. The financier is urging the EU to lean on Poland and
compel it to “preserve the rule of law.”
Macedonia, is also resisting the
billionaire-inspired subversive activities that have an eye toward regime
change. The “Soros network” has great influence on the European Parliament and
other institutions. The scandalous list of Soros’s allies
includes 226 MEPs out of 751. Every third member — just think about that!
If that isn’t corruption then what is? The lawmakers being swayed from abroad
dance to Soros’s tune. They do what they are told, which includes whipping up
anti-Russia hysteria.
Moscow
has its own history of dealing with the Soros network. In 2015, George Soros’s
Open Society Institute was kicked out of
that country as an “undesirable organization” that was established to boost US
influence.
It would be really naïve to think that
Soros acts on his own. It’s an open secret that the US government flagrantly
meddles in other countries’ internal affairs using the billionaire as a
vehicle. Europe is an American competitor that needs to be weakened.
USAID and the Soros network often team up in pursuit
of common objectives. In March 2017, six US senators signed a letter asking
the State Department to look into government funding of Soros-backed
organizations. But those efforts went nowhere, Foggy Bottom is always on Soros’s side, whatever
it is.
Many European countries are engaged in
a fierce battle to protect their independence. The financier’s “empire” is
chomping at the bit to conquer Europe by means of bribes and subversive
NGOs. These countries and Russia are resisting the same threat. Perhaps
that’s why the sanctions against Russia are so unpopular among
many East European politicians.
