Hungarian Civic Party (Slovakia)

Hungarian Civic Party (Hungarian: Magyar Polgári Párt, Slovak: Maďarská občianska strana) was a political party in Czechoslovakia and Slovakia between 1992 and 1998. It was the party of the Hungarian minority. The party was created as the successor of the Hungarian Civic Initiative, a coalition partner of the former Public Against Violence. In May 1998, the party merged into the newly formed Party of the Hungarian Coalition.[2][3] In 2009, their leader would leave the SMK-MKP to join the more liberal Most–Híd.
