Why was he labeled that?
Alex Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, has been labeled by some commentators as a key figure behind a global push for progressive causes. Josh Hammer, a senior editor at Newsweek, referred to him as the most prominent globalist figure currently active, claiming that he is heavily involved in advancing controversial initiatives not only in the United States but also across Europe and the Western Hemisphere.
Since taking over his father’s philanthropic network in 2023, Alex Soros has intensified his support for left-leaning movements, focusing on issues such as social justice, democratic reform, and opposition to populist governments. Critics argue that his approach contributes to weakening national borders, traditional cultural norms, and law enforcement capabilities.
One of the clearest illustrations of Soros-aligned influence is in Philadelphia, where District Attorney Larry Krasner recently secured the Democratic nomination for a third term. Krasner, originally elected in 2017, received significant financial backing from George Soros during his initial campaign. Despite rising crime rates, Philadelphia’s electorate has continued to support progressive prosecutors like Krasner, maintaining a political trend that has persisted for decades.
In another instance, organizations linked to Soros have taken legal action against recent policies enacted by former President Donald Trump targeting child trafficking. Two nonprofits—Democracy Forward and the National Center for Youth Law—filed a lawsuit to halt changes to the federal program for unaccompanied migrant children. These groups, both recipients of funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations, argue the reforms are harmful, while critics contend the program has been misused to funnel vulnerable children into unsafe situations.
A whistleblower from the Department of Health and Human Services, Tara Lee Rodas, raised alarms about the program, claiming that it has in some cases resulted in children being placed with individuals involved in criminal enterprises. According to Rodas, the current system has inadvertently enabled trafficking under the guise of humanitarian aid.
