MCC, one of Orbán's lavishly-funded, regime-loyal 'think tanks' builds a new campus in Budapest – truly an 'illiberal castle'. I went on a walk to Gellert Hill last night to investigate the site. Not much to see yet, but it's going to be BIG.

I'm delighted to be starting my 2nd mobility phase today as part of my re:constitution fellowship. I'm visiting Political Capital in Budapest.

Yesterday, I spoke at the Institute for Legal Studies of the HUN-REN Centre for Social Science in Budapest & introduced my re:constitution research project 'Castles of Illiberal Thought & Mercenary Thinkers: Academic Legitimation of Authoritarian Politics in 🇭🇺'. I learned a lot from the discussion.

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of presenting my project 'Castles of Illiberal Thought and Mercenary Thinkers' at re:constitution in a fellow's talk. Thanks go to @cohelongo.bsky.social, who did an amazing job moderating the session, and @gszd.bsky.social, who gave insightful comments.

Tonight, it's not only democracy that is on the cutting board.

Is re:constitution complicit in the crime of putting pineapple🍍 on pizza 🍕?
