Billionaire investor George Soros has confirmed he wants to bring down Europe's borders, following the accusation made last week by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Last week, Mr Orban accused Mr Soros â who was born in Hungary â of deliberately encouraging the migrant crisis.
"This invasion is driven, on the one hand, by people smugglers, and on the other by those (human rights) activists who support everything that weakens the nation-state," Mr Orban said.
"This Western mindset and this activist network is perhaps best represented by George Soros."
Mr Soros has now issued an email statement to Bloomberg Business, claiming his foundations help "uphold European values", while Mr Oban's actions in strengthening the Hungarian border and stopping a huge migrant influx "undermine those values."

"His plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle," Mr Soros added. "Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle."
Last month, Mr Orban accused pro-immigration non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of "drawing a living from the immigration crisis," singling out those funded by Mr Soros.
George Soros is a firm backer of transnational bodies such as the European Union, and his Open Society Foundation (OSF) provides assistance for pro-migration activists. He is well-known for his support for "progressive" causes such as the Centre for American Progress, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The OSF website explains: "We believe that migration and asylum policy should be grounded in economic and demographic realities, not driven by temporary political considerations or popular misconceptions.

"In Europe, many of our civil society partners are raising their voices demanding a common European approach in line with international human rights commitments."
Mr Orban said in an interview last month that immigration and multiculturalism are endangering Europe's "Christian roots" and creating "parallel societies."
Europeans, he said, should "stick to our Christian values" and "Europe can be saved," but only if they "take seriously the traditions, the Christian roots and all the values that are the basis of the civilization of Europe."
Citizens United must have been inspired by Soros. He is a dangerous man. They want a global union of workers.
I know, I know, their cumulative IQs don’t reach room temperatures; poor things.
Doug the Koch brothers are seriously Libertarians, with no attachments to traditional marriage, etc. They are a blank slate on moral issues. They like big government just fine on the issues of their interest.
Having been disappointed in the outcome for the millions they invested into candidates in 2012, they have declined to invest in candidates this cycle at all, so far, and say they may not do anything more than invest big in issue advocacy and organizations of their choice.
Yeah, WHEN??? So many good people have gone on, yet this a hole is still going strong. Though we may need him to take his son with him.
Israel needs to off this guy.
Sorry, libertarianism may not be a philosophy we follow, but Soros isn't libertarian, he's genuinely on the side of evil. Koch Bros. are a mix of conservative and libertarian. Perhaps misguided here and there, but NOT evil in the manner of Soros.
Would Jeb Bush go back in time and kill baby Soros?
Perhaps he’ll have an unfortunate meeting with an ISIS member - hopefully one armed with a hacksaw.
That wouldn’t sadden me.
I doubt ISIS would want to take him out. He is on the side of terrorists. He wants the destruction of America.
He has four sons. Which one?
Doesn't he have two or more sons, ready to take over the family volcano lair?
An old vampire.. Maybe traditional remedies should be applied..
Eichorst-The Strain is who Soros reminds me of.
Sending all the monsters around the world.
I just googled Soros and Putin and there’s a bunch of tinfoil sites that say Putin and Interpol issued an international arrest warrant for Soros.
Huh?
I did not mention Soros. I had no, “idea” about Soros. I made no “insane” comparison whatsoever to Soros in profiling the Kochs. I did not say the Koch Bros were evil, or more evil. I said the brothers are Libertarian. I gave an example. So, what’s up with your tonight?
Why is he still walking the streets. Israel should have tried him for war crimes years ago.
God, I hope it’s true!
Read recently two of his kids are donating to Hillary or something.
Ugh. Go awaaaay.
Me too.
That is a truly evil man.
The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban must have George Soros arrested and tried for conspiracy to undermine the sovereignty of Hungary.
