#MagazineNewStatesmanZoeStrimpel "The Mathias Corvinus Collegium, named after the King of Hungary and Croatia from 1458 to 1490, is a vast network of educational outreach and college-level curricula funded by the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán's populist, anti-immigration Fidesz party - and its private interests - to the tune of a $1.7bn endowment. The MCC is bound up with Fidesz; it is seen both as a training ground for party elites and, with its stranglehold on funds and power, a key instrument for curtailing ideological diversity in Hungarian higher education.
Fidesz, which is lionised by Maga conservatives in the United States and populist right-wingers in Britain, is despised on Hungary's left and in Brussels. It goes to lengths to insist it is not racist and, despite a conspiratorial obsession with George Soros, whom they see as consistently working against Hungary's interests, not anti-Semitic. But Fidesz's rhetoric has at times been hard to see as entirely benign, particularly since the migrant crisis of 2016. 'We must state that we do not want to be diverse and do not want to be mixed, ' said Orbán in 2018. 'We do not want our own colour, traditions and national culture to be mixed with those of others. We do not want this. We do not want that at all. We do not want to be a diverse country. ' The reference to 'colour ' is hard to overlook, and laws have been changed so that it is illegal to 'settle foreign populations in Hungary '."
