Orbán’s favorite Brussels think tank eyes new funding after Hungary orders parent organization to close

Hungary's government has ordered the dissolution of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation by July 31, affecting its Brussels-based think tank MCC Brussels, which is seeking new funding. MCC Brussels, a prominent right-wing voice in Europe, has faced scrutiny from Hungary's new Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who criticized its funding structure as a 'criminal offense.' The organization has also been suspended from the EU's transparency register, complicating its operations.
