Hungarian government wants to buy Ikar and Panta Rhei

Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), funded by Viktor Orbán’s government, recently approached several players in the Slovak book market with acquisition offers, including the Ikar publishing house and the Panta Rhei bookstore chain, both owned by J&T, sources told the daily N. Both parties declined to comment. The current Hungarian opposition party, Tisza, intends to dismantle MCC’s structures if it wins the April 12 general election.
