Campaign against the "Soros-plan"

In 2017, Fidesz launched a campaign against the Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. They say that Soros is financing migration, through his NGOs. Németh was in charge of this campaign.[3] He represented an outlier point of view both in the parliament and in the media, as he said it's Soros behind the failure of metro line 3, and the melee at Kálvin tér. Németh wants to ban all of the NGOs funded by George Soros.[4]

He is married and has two children.[5]
