Hungarian-backed think tank's future in Brussels uncertain

MCC Brussels, a think tank linked to Hungary's Viktor Orban, launched in November 2022 to promote national capital empowerment over federalism, now faces an uncertain future in Brussels.

MCC Brussels, a think tank established by Hungary's Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) and associated with Prime Minister Viktor Orban, commenced operations in November 2022. Launched with the explicit aim of promoting a distinct European narrative, the institution sought to counter prevailing federalist ideas by advocating for greater power for national capitals. Its mission was to reshape the intellectual discourse within the European sphere. Despite its high-profile launch, reports indicate that the future of MCC Brussels in the capital of the European Union is currently uncertain.
