Hungarian officials want an explanation from the European Commission regarding a scheme to provide prepaid bank cards to thousands of migrants currently pushing their way into Europe.

Infowars Europe was one of the first English-language media outlets to report revelations emerging from the Balkans, where shopkeepers and law enforcement officers claimed that migrants amassing in Bosnia were using nameless bank cards embossed with MasterCard, UNHCR, and EU logos.

Those assertions were later reinforced by Austrian intelligence officials in statements provided to Kronen Zeitung last week.

The Hungarian goverment has apparently taken notice of these reports and is now demanding answers, contending that the program may be facilitating funding for terrorism.

“The ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat parties have called on the European Commission to explain the reasoning behind prepaid debit cards issued to migrants,” the ruling coalition announced via state media outlet About Hungary.

“Earlier this week, Lajos Kósa, head of parliament’s defence and law enforcement committee, cited recent reports surrounding tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards made available to migrants by the European Commission and the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR.”

Coalition spokesman István Hollik says, “the EC should explain the origins of the cards, the amounts deposited on them, and the reasons why the scheme was kept in secret.”

“The cards are said to be funded by moneys from the EU, the UN and US financier George Soros . . . raising the question whether member states have agreed to a scheme like that.”

In our original report, we detailed Soros’ likely ties to the scheme upon discovery of a 2017 MasterCard press release publicizing the launch of a partnership program with Soros called “Humanity Ventures,” which aimed to “catalyze and accelerate economic and social development for vulnerable communities around the world, especially refugees and migrants.”

George Soros announced that he is earmarking up to $500 million for private investments that will improve capacity to address the challenges that migrants, including refugees, and their host communities face around the world. Humanity Ventures would be part of that initiative,” Mastercard revealed in the release.

“Bank cards are also evidence of how the EU is destroying European culture?” tweeted Montenegran TV director Ninoslav Vucetic, including an image of the type of card aforementioned. “Inviting them with money to cause violence? Who gives migrants such a bank card in order to access cash, without the first and last names?”

Slovenia Arming Border Amid Migrant Surge

Slovenia is strengthening its southern border, deploying more armed patrols to combat an increasing flow of migrants through the Balkans, according to local media.

The tiny Central European nation, which lies at the frontier of the Schengen Area, is facing a potentially catastrophic situation as Hungarian and Austrian officials have issued warnings that tens of thousands of migrants are working to burst the borderbetween Bosnia and Croatia in an effort to invade the EU via Slovenia or Hungary.

Joint Croatian and Slovenian forces have carried out at least 635 border control missions this year, Il Giornale reports, but some practices have come under fire from left wing media and activists.

Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik recently publicized an internal police memo directing border guards to reject all migrants attempting to enter the country illegally, prompting open borders advocates to slam Ljubljana for violating the human rights of ‘asylum seekers.’

“The right to asylum is cancelled. This is what is happening at this time on the border between Slovenia and Croatia,” La Stampa reported. “The policemen from Ljubljana, who patrol along the anti-migrant barbed wire, were ordered in an internal circular, never made public but discovered by the newspaper Dnevnik, to repel refugees beyond the border, ie Croatia.”

Dnevik also reportedly released video of armed Slovenian border police repelling migrants and directing them to return to Croatia, sparking controversy.

Hungary recently announced the mobilization of 2,300 troops prepared to deploy to their southern  border on short notice, warning that some 70,000 migrants have amassed in the Balkans and are preparing to swarm Europe.

Infowars Europe has been reporting extensively on the mounting crisis in the Balkans and will continue to monitor events as they unfold.

70,000 Migrants Preparing to Swarm Europe Via “Soros Express,” Hungary Warns

A mass of 70,000 migrants has gathered in the Balkans where they are preparing to swarm Europe via the “Soros Express,” Hungarian officials are warning.

Hungary announced it has mobilized 2,300 troops to be deployed to its southern border on short notice as thousands of migrants threaten to penetrate into Croatia from Bosnia, where they have been accumulating for months and are now actively engaging Croatian border forces in violent clashes.

“What happened on the Bosnian-Croatian border, at Bihac, cannot be allowed to happen here,” Lajos Kósa, head of parliament’s defense and law enforcement committee, told reporters during a visit to the border.

State media outlet About Hungary paraphrased additional comments by Kósa, adding“NGOs organize illegal migration and a majority are financed by the likes of U.S. billionaire George Soros, which pave the way for the illegal entry of migrants into the EU on the Bosnian-Croatian border.”

“Kósa confirmed that at present there are about 70,000 migrants heading for western Europe waiting along the Balkan route.”

Hungarian parliamentary spokesman Istvan Hollik compared the current situation in the Balkans to the slew of migrant ‘caravans’ making their way from Central America to the U.S., asserting that both are being spurred onward financially by the “Soros Express” as a “dress rehearsal” for eventual endless,  migration from the third world into the West.

“The Soros network is working hard to resettle migrants not only in Europe, but in the U.S., bringing in thousands on the ‘Soros Express,'” Hungary Journal reported, paraphrasing Hollik. “By grabbing the attention of the international media, they want to provoke U.S. authorities, creating conflict, just as they did when migrants rioted in Roszke, on Hungary’s border with Serbia, in 2015, then get the U.S. authorities to surrender their right to protect the border, he added.”
