MCC Feszt Budapest and London, two capital cities shaped by deep history and rich culture are increasingly at odds with the political direction of their own countries. In both Hungary and the UK, national conservative movements have clashed with urban liberal elites over questions of migration, values, and national identity. Why do metropolitan voters often reject conservative leadership? What role do universities, NGOs, and media ecosystems play in shaping urban opinion? Can the gap between city and country be bridged or is it deepening into a lasting divide?
