Jewish organizations in Hungary and the main opposition party today (Sunday) called on Prime Minister Victor Urban to oust the government culture commissioner after it compared Jewish billionaire George Soros to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Urban and his nationalist government many years ago marked Soros, a native of Hungary who emigrated from it after World War II, as part of their campaign against immigration.
Urban accuses the EU of trying to force Hungary to accept immigrants under the influence of Soros, who lives in the United States and is a target for right-wing elements around the world - including Israel.
In an opinion piece published yesterday, Commissioner Schillard Demeter, who also runs a state-funded museum, wrote that Soros is the "liberal Fuhrer" and that Europe is Soros' "gas chamber" injecting it with "toxic gas" from its "open society" organization.
In response, Jewish organizations such as Hungarian Jewish communities called him "unforgivable" and "repulsive provocation."
The Democratic Coalition, the country's largest left-wing party, called for his immediate dismissal.
"A person like him has no place in public life, not only in a European country but everywhere in the world."

The government has not yet responded to inquiries on Demeter's positions.
He also referred to the dispute between Poland and Hungary with the European Union, claiming that the Poles and Hungarians were the "new Jews" marked by the liberals who wanted to expel them from the bloc.
Poland and Hungary have said they will block the approval of a new EU budget and a package of compensation for recovery from the corona plague if these are conditioned on the rule of law.
The Israeli Embassy in Hungary wrote on Twitter that it outright rejects "the use and exploitation of Holocaust remembrance for any purpose. There is no place to link the most horrific crimes in human history, or their perpetrators, to a contemporary debate, no matter how important it is."
Urban, whose decade-old rule has dramatically eroded democratic norms, is waging a protracted struggle in Soros, which funds liberal organizations and institutions in Hungary.
Last year, the European Central University, founded by him, was forced to cease operations in the country and it moved its rifle to Vienna.
