Where it stands
The Hungarian government has dissolved four political foundations linked to former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The government has recovered HUF 100 billion in state assets through this action. The liquidation of these foundations follows a change in government. The MCC Brussels office was backed by Orbán's Fidesz party.
The office's director cited a lack of funding as the reason for the resignation. The Budapest Business Journal and Euractiv.com both cover the recovery of state assets. The Japan Times and News.by both note the end of Orbán's influence in the EU. The reporting does not specify the new government's plans for the recovered assets.
Coverage does not yet specify the fate of other Orbán-backed entities. The resignation of the MCC Brussels director is the only known staffing change.
