The Party of the Hungarian Community ( hu, Magyar Közösség Pártja, sk, Strana maďarskej komunity; SMK-MKP), formerly known as Party of the Hungarian Coalition ( hu, Magyar Koalíció Pártja, sk, Strana maďarskej koalície), was a political party in Slovakia for the ethnic Hungarian minority. It was led by Pál Csáky (formerly led by Béla Bugár) until the parliamentary election of 12 June 2010 where it failed to acquire 5% of the popular vote, the threshold necessary for entering the National Council of the Slovak Republic. Its votes went largely to Most–Híd, a new party led by former SMK leader Béla Bugár. In response, Csáky and the whole party leadership resigned. SMK-MKP later merged with Most–Híd and another Hungarian minority party (Unity) to form the Alliance in late 2021. History The party was founded in 1998 in response to an anti-coalition law passed. The law prevented parties from forming electoral cartels at election time, which small parties h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
