US President Joe Biden has honored controversial billionaire businessman George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor. If understood from the context of India, the prestige that is associated with the ‘Bharat Ratna’ award in our country is the same as that of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in America.
George Soros, who has immense wealth, is a controversial investor, has influence over many NGOs and has created turmoil in the governments of countries around the world, his role has been in negative shades. George Soros is accused of bringing down the governments of many countries and destroying many big banks. His opinion about India is also not good.
In the year 2023, George Soros had said in the Defense Conference in Munich that India is a democratic country, but PM Narendra Modi is not democratic. Apart from this, Soros had made many unwanted comments about PM Modi.
First amnesty to the son, now highest honor to Soros
In the last days of his tenure, President Biden is taking out-of-the-box decisions. He pardoned other prisoners including his son Hunter. Now he has honored 19 people with America’s highest honor.
In his opening remarks presenting the honor, Biden said, “For the last time as President, I have the honor of presenting our nation’s highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom, to a group of extraordinary, truly extraordinary people who “Made his sacred efforts to shape the culture and purpose of America.”
The President said that you dedicate yourself to the call to serve and inspire others to do the same. When American values are under attack, as they have been, you defend them.
Called Soros a philanthropist and supporter of equality.
In honoring George Soros, the founder of the famous NGO named Open Society, the Biden administration praised him lavishly. The letter of honor received by Soros reads, “The Presidential Medal of Freedom has been awarded to George Soros. Born in a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped the Nazi occupation and opened the way to a life of freedom for himself and countless people around the world. Educated in England, he settled in America and became an investor and philanthropist who championed rights and justice, equity and equality, the pillars of a free society.” To accept this honor for 94-year-old George Soros, his son Alex Soros was present at the program.
I am overwhelmed with respect – Soros
George Soros, overwhelmed by the honor, said in a statement, “As an immigrant who found freedom and prosperity in America, I am overwhelmed by this honor.” He added, “I accept it on behalf of so many people around the world.” “with whom the Open Society Foundations has shared a common purpose over the past 40 years.”
Soros is destroying the fabric of civilization – Musk
America’s second billionaire Elon Musk was stunned to hear what President Biden said in honor of George Soros. Elon Musk, a close aide of Donald Trump, who is going to become the new President of America, said that it is ridiculous that Biden is giving the Medal of Freedom to Soros. Elon Musk said that in my opinion, George Soros basically hates humanity. Making sharp remarks on Soros, Elon Musk said that he is doing things that are destroying the fabric of civilization.

Republican leadership has also attacked Biden for honoring Soros. Nikki Haley said that “Giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros after commuting the sentences of murderers and pardoning his son is another slap in the face of America. 16 days until the inauguration is too long.” What is it capable of doing?”
What does Soros’s Open Society do, what are the controversies?
George Soros, who earned immense wealth from the stock market, founded the Open Society Foundation in 1979. However, Open Society says that it is the world’s largest private organization that funds independent groups working for rights, equality and justice.
Although Open Society is an NGO and allegedly its objective is to do good to the people, but under the guise of this NGO, Soros has been accused of doing many illegal things, these include serious allegations like regime change, funding of protests, instability in the economy. . India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has also accused Open Society of funding India’s opposition party Congress through different platforms.
Questions raised on open society in India
In December last year, BJP had alleged that the ‘Forum for Democratic Leaders of Asia Pacific’ had links with senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. BJP alleged that anti-India and pro-Pakistan talks take place in this forum. BJP says that this forum is being funded by George Soros’s foundation. However, Congress had strongly denied these allegations of BJP, calling them baseless.
Got the title of messenger of anarchy
Open Society Foundation now works in about 120 countries of the world. Governments of many countries have been banning and punishing this institution.
George Soros’s Open Society claims on its website that it has spent $18 billion on its mission. In a 2016 report, Russian news agency Sputnik claimed that Open Society was plotting against President Putin. Sputnik then claimed that Open Societies are trying to spread anarchy around the world by using their money and influence to profit from global instability and implement neoliberal ideas at the international level. Because of the controversial role of Open Society, it is also called ‘Agent of chaos’.
In America, where George Soros received the highest civilian honor, many serious allegations were made against Soros.
Soros had criticized the Iraq War of 2003 and donated millions of dollars to America’s Democratic Party, i.e. Biden’s party. After this he was attacked a lot by the right wing.
He was a strong critic of former US President George Bush. He had announced in 2003 that his aim was to remove George W Bush from power. In an interview given to The Washington Post, Soros had said that removing George W. Bush from the presidency is the biggest objective of his life and it is a ‘question of life and death’ for him. Soros had even said that if someone took a guarantee to oust him from power, he would spend his entire wealth on that person.
George Soros’ name also came up in instigating the riotous anti-Wall Street protests of 2011.
Not only in America, campaigns are run against George Soros in Türkiye and Hungary also.
Even Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan had said that Soros wants to destroy Turkey by dividing it among itself.
The government of Hungary, where Soros was born, is also against him. During the 2018 election campaign, the then Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had fiercely attacked Soros. Orbán won this election. After this, Soros’s organizations came under target and Soros’s organization stopped working in Hungary.
