Everybody's Hungary People's Party

The Everybody's Hungary People's Party (Hungarian: Mindenki Magyarországa Néppárt, MMN), previously known as Everybody's Hungary Movement[a] (Hungarian: Mindenki Magyarországa Mozgalom) is a Hungarian political party established to foster independent opposition and alternatives to Fidesz candidates in local elections. The Movement, which did not describe itself initially as a political party until 16 September 2023,[12] was founded by Péter Márki-Zay and associates in 2018 as a means of fostering cooperation between Hungary's fractured opposition parties. Márki-Zay won the mayoralty of Hódmezővásárhely in 2018, and in 2021 became the candidate of the United for Hungary to challenge Viktor Orbán in the 2022 parliamentary election, which he lost.
