Exclusive: Branch will be part of attempts to spread Hungarian leader’s populist philosophy across Europe
Attempts by Viktor Orbán to spread his populist philosophy across Europe have reached the UK, with an outpost of a heavily Orbán-influenced educational institute planned for London, along with significant sponsorship for groups linked to rightwing Conservatives, the Guardian has learned.
Sources have said a Hungarian cultural centre near Trafalgar Square is expected to include a branch of Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), a private university sometimes likened to a madrasa for young Orbán-sympathising scholars and future leaders.
