The European Conservative

What The European Conservative does

The European Conservative is a non-profit, English-language media publication operating as European Conservative Nonprofit Kft., a Hungarian private limited company headquartered in Budapest with a news bureau in Brussels. Founded in 2022, it positions itself as a conservative and traditionalist platform covering European philosophy, politics, art, and contemporary affairs, with an editorial scope spanning agrarian, monarchist, nationalist, populist, and sovereigntist viewpoints across Europe and the Americas.

The company's product is a two-surface publishing platform: a daily online news and analysis website plus a quarterly print magazine (currently at Issue 38). It is built on a standard WordPress CMS with Stripe-backed e-commerce for subscriptions and individual issues. Revenue is generated through three annual subscription tiers — Print Premium at €89.99, Digital-Only at €59.99, and a Comment-Only tier at €9.99 — plus single-issue print sales at €24.99. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via europeanconservative.com, with print magazines shipped globally (currently suspended to the US) and digital archives delivered as PDFs. The go-to-motion is community-led and self-serve, supported by an editorial bench of 19 contributors led by Editor-in-Chief Frank Füredi and Managing Director Dr. Gergő Kereki.
