Visegrad group, whose prominent members Poland and Hungary have been a strong opponent inside the EU to certain policies. Mister Soros here demonstrates that these two regimes are illegitimate, since they have not upheld the rule of law, and therefore their veto powers must be opposed and ignored. Here are some tidbits from his opinion piece:
www.project-syndicate.org
"
The European Union cannot afford to compromise on the rule-of-law provisions it applies to the funds it allocates to member states. How the EU responds to the challenge to those provisions now posed by Hungary and Poland will determine whether it survives as an open society true to the values upon which it was founded.
"
"
I am a committed supporter of the EU as a model of an open society built on the rule of law. Being of Hungarian Jewish origin, I am particularly concerned with the situation in Hungary, where I have been active as a philanthropist for more than 30 years.

Hungary’s opposition parties are bravely trying to challenge Orbán by forming a common list of candidates for the 2022 general election. But their chances of success are limited because Orbán can change the rules at short notice, as he has already done several times before. Conveniently, Orbán is planning to introduce the latest changes to the electoral law while the pandemic is raging, Budapest is under curfew, and soldiers are patrolling the streets.
"
"
Only the EU can help. EU funds, for example, should be directed to local authorities, where there is still a functioning democracy in Hungary, unlike at the national level.

Many believe that the prime minister of a country should not enter into an argument with George Soros. Their reasoning is that Soros is an economic criminal, because he made his money through speculation, ruining the lives of millions of people, and even blackmailing entire national economies. Just as governments must not negotiate with terrorists, they say, prime ministers must likewise not debate with economic criminals.

Great forces are once again moving to eradicate the nations of Europe and unify the continent under the aegis of a global empire. The Soros network, which has woven itself through Europe’s bureaucracy and its political elite, has for years been working to make Europe an immigrant continent. Today the Soros network, which promotes a global open society and seeks to abolish national frameworks, is the greatest threat faced by the states of the European Union. The goals of the network are obvious: to create multi-ethnic, multicultural open societies by accelerating migration, and to dismantle national decision-making, placing it in the hands of the global elite.
"
"
The network directed by George Soros has now discarded any hesitancy it may have had about open intervention. He wants to put more pressure on nation states than ever before. He is setting the peoples of Europe against one another. The network’s operational system is labyrinthine, and is present in various arenas of public life. On the payroll of George Soros are a long list of politicians, journalists, judges, bureaucrats and political agitators masquerading as members of civil society organizations. And although the billionaire accuses all his enemies of corruption, he himself is the most corrupt man in the world. He pays off and buys whoever he can – and those whom he cannot bribe will be slandered, humiliated, intimidated and destroyed by the network through its formidable weapon: the left-wing media battalions.
"
"
Western leaders who have lived their whole lives in a world of inherited freedom and the rule of law should now listen to those who have fought for freedom and who – based on their personal life experiences – can distinguish between the rule of law and tyranny, or the rule of man. Such Western leaders must accept that in the 21st century we shall not surrender the freedom we fought to achieve at the end of the 20th century.

Here is a rare opinion piece from Soros regarding the financial future of the EU:
www.spiegel.de
Unfortunately this is in German, published in der spiegel. This translation is provided by google translate:
"
In the corona crisis, the EU needs at least one trillion euros - and a joint financing instrument. The solution would be a "perpetual bond" that never has to be paid back.
"
"
I suspect that the idea of perpetual borrowings was discarded because it was not envisaged when the Treaty of Rome was passed in 1957. They founded the European Economic Community. But unusual times require unusual measures. Otherwise the EU may not survive the current challenges. This is not a theoretical consideration, but the tragic reality. The coronavirus and climate change threaten not only human life, but our civilization. The European Union is particularly vulnerable because it is based on the rule of law and the mills of justiceknown to grind slowly. The coronavirus, however, moves quickly and unpredictably. That is why the EU needs quick answers and everlasting loans.
"
"
Eternal bonds, on the other hand , for whose repayment no one is liable , have a unifying effect. They provide the EU and all of its members with financial resources that are incomparably greater than anything the budget can offer. They could help the EU meet the expectations and hopes of its citizens.
The cost-benefit ratio is so good that the financial scope would be huge. When the EU issues bonds on its own account, it can distribute money to the countries most in need, according to rules and procedures that would be jointly determined by the Commission and governments. The additional expenses do not require new legislation. But time is of the essence. A decision must be made by summer, because Italy could already be bankrupt by autumn. That would be a big blow to the EU.
"
hehehehe
ETERNAL BONDS that can NEVER be repaid, to forever be serviced by bankers.
I'm loving this timeline. Everyone is so brazen! Everything is out in the open. What's your opinion on this?
Should the Visigrad be curtailed or is a faction of bankers attempting to saddle the EU with eternal debt? How about both? Neither?

George Soros says the two countries' veto of the EU budget directly threatens the rule of law – and thus the bloc's future.

George Soros fordert ewige Anleihen: Die EU muss sich zusammenraufen - oder sie zerfällt
In der Coronakrise braucht die EU mindestens eine Billion Euro - und ein gemeinsames Finanzierungsinstrument. Die Lösung wäre eine "ewige Anleihe", die nie zurückgezahlt werden muss.
