Hungary’s government will submit to parliament on Tuesday a bill targeting people and non-governmental organizations perceived to be helping immigration.

The bill, which the cabinet has dubbed “Stop Soros” after the Hungarian-born philanthropist and investor George Soros, is tougher than an original plan unveiled last month, government spokesman Bence Tuzson told reporters in Budapest.
