NATCON finds venue for Brussels conference after all

In the latest turn of events around the National Conservatism Conference (NATCON) put on by the Brussels Office of Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), the organizers have made an announcement on X (former Twitter) on Tuesday morning announcing that they found a venue for holding the conference after all, hvg.hu has reported.

As they write, some six hundred participants are arriving at the Claridge venue to attend the event which will go ahead as originally scheduled. The latest change in location was needed after the replacement venue, Sofitel Brussels Europe “broke its contract citing objections from people involved in the European Union Council who would be staying at the hotel” and the mayor of Etterbeek informed the hotel’s management about who some of the speakers were going to be.

Other than Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the planned keynote speakers include former British MEP Nigel Farage, former Polish PM Mateusz Morawieczki and French far-right politician Eric Zemmour. In their fresh post, the organizers noted that local authorities have also contacted the third venue because “Local politicians will do anything to protect the political establishment that guarantees the gravy train”.
