EU transparency watchdog suspends Orbán-backed MCC Brussels

A right-wing think tank with links to former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been suspended from the EU's database of lobbyists and campaign groups after it was accused of failing to disclose financial information, including its funding sources.

In an email sent to the group by the secretariat of the EU's Transparency Register, seen by POLITICO, the watchdog confirmed MCC Brussels had been suspended from the register.
