Pro-Orbán “propaganda mouthpiece” MCC was awarded £57m in dividends from Hungary’s state oil company MOL just before the election. MCC was previously gifted 10% stake in MOL by Orbán’s govt in 2020, worth over $1.3bn. MCC then used this 💵 to push Orbán’s ideas. MCC also has close links to Reform UK
