A billboard featuring pictures of European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker and Hungarian-born US investor and philanthropist George Soros. The slogan translates as,"You too have a right to know what Brussels is preparing." Anti-European Union billboards featuring George Soros and the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker were covered up this week during a visit to Hungary by the leader of the European People's Party , a group of mostly-conservative parties in the EU's Parliament. Juncker himself is a member of the EPP.

Some EPP members are seeking to expel Fidesz, the ruling party of Hungary. An ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had said the billboards would be taken down and replaced... with new posters promoting the government's family action plan.
