On Sunday, April 3, the Mathias Corvinus Collegium will host an Election Night event - all those who are interested in the Hungarian elections are welcome to attend.

During the event, we will have panels on various topics including the Hungarian electoral system, the foreign and domestic political possibilities after the election, or the presentation of the parties and programs. Our event will give an insight into the background of the elections and the expected political direction afterwards. In addition to professional programs, a traditional Hungarian supper will be provided.


Participation in the event is free of charge, but registration is required.
