Angela Merkel 'caused the migrant crisis' according to George Soros

The Hungarian, who broke the Bank of England, accused the German Chancellor of causing “chaos” to the continent with her open-border policy. He said: “German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to open her country’s doors wide to refugees was not properly thought out, because it ignored the pull factor.

“A sudden influx of asylum seekers disrupted people in their everyday lives across the EU. “The lack of adequate controls, moreover, created panic, affecting everyone: the local population, the authorities in charge of public safety, and the refugees themselves.”


Mr Soros also admitted the free movement policy, enforced by Brussels bureaucrats, has caused an overwhelming dislike for the union among Britons. He said: “The European migration crisis and the Brexit debate fed on each other.

“The Leave campaign exploited the deteriorating refugee situation – symbolised by frightening images of thousands of asylum-seekers concentrating in Calais, desperate to enter Britain by any means necessary – to stoke fear of ‘uncontrolled’ immigration from other EU member states. “And the European authorities delayed important decisions on refugee policy in order to avoid a negative effect on the British referendum vote, thereby perpetuating scenes of chaos like the one in Calais.”
