Soros György
Soros György, often known as George Soros, is a Hungarian-American investor, philanthropist, and political activist. He is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, which supports democracy and human rights in over 100 countries. Soros is known for his substantial investments and is notably recognized for his role in currency speculation, particularly for 'breaking the Bank of England' in 1992. His philanthropic efforts focus on education, public health, and social justice, often funding initiatives that promote liberal democratic values. Soros has been a controversial figure in global politics, frequently criticized by right-wing leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has accused him of undermining national sovereignty through foreign funding of civil society organizations.
