The MCC received billion-dollar support under Matolcsy's leadership

The Mathias Corvinus Collegium received 1.1 billion HUF from the Pallas Athéné Foundations over eight years, with 750 million HUF allocated between 2021 and 2023. The exact use of these funds remains unclear. Following the Fidesz party's defeat, the foundation supporting the MCC was effectively nationalized, leading to its dissolution. György Matolcsy has been arrested for allegedly attempting to manipulate the management of the MNB foundation's assets before his term ended. The investigation suggests he aimed to retain control over significant wealth for personal investments. Neither the MCC nor PADME responded to inquiries about the funding's allocation.
