History

edit

Péter Magyar announced his intention to found a party on 15 March 2024. A few days later, the not-yet-formed political formation was polled at around 15-20%, so the left-wing formations had to step in: from among the opposition parties, the Democratic Coalition, the Hungarian Socialist Party, and the Dialogue decided to form a long-term political alliance. Klára Dobrev announced formation of an alliance at the press conference on 28 March 2024.[6] They agreed that the three parties will run on a unified Social Democrat-Green list in the 2024 European Parliament election and 2026 parliamentary election.
