Barring Trump from Running for President an Early Christmas Present from George Soros?

The decision had stirred emotions among politicians and the world media alike, some in the comment sections likening the USA to a “banana-republic” for barring a political opponent from the race. Likewise, the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Wednesday reacted on his Facebook page by suggestively asking “what would happen if a Central European country tried to disqualify a candidate in the presidential election?”.

Péter Szijjártó wrote: “Let us play with the idea that if something like this happened in a patriotic government in a Central European country, how many minutes would it take for the European Parliament to declare the death of democracy, how many minutes would it take for the US State Department to issue a condemnatory statement, how many minutes would it take for the European Commission to freeze even more EU funds that have not been allocated, and how many minutes would it take for editorials on every surface of the global liberal media network to proclaim the destruction of the rule of law?

And now what? Silence. But not because of Advent,”

he added.

The Colorado state republicans have accused US oligarch George Soros of standing behind the move, who has been known to have poured millions of dollars into the US justice system through financing radical left-wing prosecutors and legal entities. They have launched a fundraising campaign to fight the Colorado court’s decision.

On their homepage, they claim that the fundraiser’s aim is to defend the right of voters to support Trump’s candidacy. They also aim to “expose & defeat the leftwing Soros-funded radicals and Democrats who support this unAmerican effort to remove Trump from the ballot. If these leftwing extremists succeed, then there will be a ripple effect across the country that will cripple the Republican Party and end our country’s free and fair elections,” reads the GOP statement.

Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the GOP presidential hopefuls, has stood up for his presidential rival, Mr. Trump, pledging to withdraw from the Colorado GOP ballot and urging other candidates to do likewise.

I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous… pic.twitter.com/qbpNf9L3ln

Earlier in September, Minister Szijjártó had already made it clear in a statement that the Hungarian government will no longer accept any criticism from the current White House in view of the state of democracy in the United States, following the intention to exclude the most likely Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, from the election race.

If they can disqualify one of the biggest contenders from the US Presidential election, from now on we will not accept any criticism from this country about the functioning of our political system,”

he added.
