At the opening event of MCC Brussels, Balázs Orbán said: ’As neighbours, we need to talk and listen. This is the only antidote to the spectre of political polarization that haunts politics today.’

The junior classes at Mathias Corvinus Collegium received a record number of applicants this year, the highest figure for the faculty in 26 years.

Regarding the war in Hungary’s neighbourhood, Hungary’s Minister of Defence reiterated that the country’s position has been clear from the beginning: to stay out of the war and pursue Hungary’s national interests.

A recent poll conducted by MCC has finally shattered Western media portrayal of Hungarians as narrow-minded, prejudiced xenophobes.

Hungarian conservatism promotes the idea that every country should accept the social, cultural, and political differences of other nations, respect their particular values and acknowledge that the actions of any given nation are based on their particular interests.

‘Every subject about marriage and family always focused on what the adults wanted rather than what the children needed, desired and even had a right to.’

‘The right is standing in the same place. But the left continues to go further and further down the line, it is insane. I do not really know what to be liberal means anymore.’

Mathias Corvinus Collegium held a two-day summit in Budapest, hosting distinguished scholars and professors, well-known journalists and authors, activists and experts to have gripping discussions On the Values We Teach Our Children. 

When a young man and woman decide to marry, they do not want to have a marriage based on market rules which is: if someone better comes, then I will change. This is a liberal attitude, not a conservative attitude.

‘Those who meet PM Orbán can only be radical and far-right, populist and alt-right actors according to the left.’
