Left Notoriety

George Soros had previously expressed reluctance to have one of his children take over the OSF. However, he now believes that Alexander has earned the role. Alex Soros was elected as the chairman of the OSF board in December 2022 and also holds the position of president of Soros’ political action committee, Democracy PAC. The PAC receives substantial funding from Soros and supports election campaigns and political causes. Around $125 million has been allocated to the PAC, with $25 billion being directed to the OSF.

Soros has gained notoriety for his global campaign against right-wing governments, funding left-leaning organizations and initiatives. He has pledged $1 billion to establish a global university to combat what he sees as “authoritarian governments” and address the challenges posed by climate change. His Open Society Foundations have faced criticism for providing financial support to Islamist and Marxist causes, as well as engaging in political activities that interfere with the sovereignty of various countries. Soros’ involvement has positioned him as a controversial figure in global politics, influencing the trajectory of numerous nations.
