	General elections in Hungary
		The 'small' parties' results such as the Democratic Forum (MDF) and the Free Democrat Alliance (SZDSZ), the Social Democrats' partners within the present government coalition, might therefore be decisive on 9th and 23rd April (the date of the second round of the election).
		The Alliance of Young Democrats is planning to provide itself with the means to bring back all of the students and researchers who left the country by helping them to find work in Hungary and to create their own companies.
		She was referring to the threats and flmail employed by a militant belonging to the Alliance of Young Democrats (Zoltan Bago) on a Democratic Forum candidate, Imre Romsics, in order for the latter to withdraw his candidature in favour of the FIDESZ candidate.

		Although FIDESZ, also known as the Alliance of Young Democrats, which shared the same party list with the Hungarian Democractic Forum (MDF), won the largest number of seats—189 — the Socialists and their partners from the Alliance of Free Democrats (SCSZ) will form the biggest bloc in Parliament.
		By comparison, the alliance between FIDESZ and the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) was short-lived.

	Hungary: politics
		While the Democratic Forum was thought to be a rightest if not nationalistic party, the selection of Josef Antall who came from a prominent anti-Nazi family, allayed many of these concerns.
		It is the radical right in Hungarian politics and the party's vice president was recently censored for anti-Semetic views espoused in public (Agency France Press, Dec. 6, 2002).
		Hungarian politics can be so complex you might say that in some cases they are lucky to have an operating parliament at all.

		It was for free independent Socialism that young Hungarians began the struggle against the only armed fascists who on the night of the 23rd October still wished to save their government: the red fascists of the political police, appointed to safeguard the last vestiges of the Stalinist government.
		Hungarian Communist writers, journalists, university students, the youth of the Petofi Circle, thousands and thousands of workers and peasants, and veteran fighters who had been imprisoned on false charges, fought in the front line against Rakosiite despotism and political hooliganism.

	Printed Version
		On the opposite side, somewhat unexpectedly, it was the Alliance of Young Democrats or Fidesz which made the running in forging a centre-right alliance among fairly disparate and weakened parties (including the MDF and the Smallholders).
		That agreement involved the Free Democrats supporting the government in its proposal to get rid of a constitutional provision by which a two-thirds majority in parliament had to be obtained for the passing of many new laws, with the exception of the law on the media.
		In return for their support for this constitutional change, the Free Democrats managed to obtain from the government two important concessions: that their man became president of the Republic and that the directors of the state TV and radio stations be appointed by the president on a proposal from the prime minister.

	Hungarian Studies Review, 1999
		Western countries developed their capitalist economies on firm ground before they established liberal, democratic institutions; these political arenas were well-prepared for the fluctuating levels of citizen participation within the parameters of individual competition and pressure group and interest group politics.
		48 But the facts that Hungarian policy-makers and scholars considered 'women' as an entity in policy making and sociological study, and that women suffer inequalities on the basis of their gender - and thereby are ascribed gender attributes which are socially and often officially constructed - remain important areas for consideration.
		As many Hungarians still associate the issues around women's equality and abortion with the old communist administration, it could be relatively easy to dismiss the abortion issue as a communist issue.

		Fidesz and its conservative coalition partner, the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF), were narrowly defeated in parliamentary voting by the post-communist Hungarian Socialist Party (MSzP) and the liberal Alliance of Free Democrats (SzDSZ).
		The official story of Fidesz (an abbreviation for "Alliance of Young Democrats") began in March 1988, when a group of students from a law school research unit illegally founded the first alternative youth organization to the Communist Youth Alliance.
		By their third year in the House, the young democrats surpassed every other party to lead the polls.

	Hungarian Crown
		Instead of simply admitting responsibility, he explained on Hungarian state television that the dual position he holds (foreign minister and party chief) is too heavy a burden, saying: "[I] cannot fulfill my duties as foreign minister and fight for the cause of the MSZP at the same time," according to AP.
		In a highly polarized environment in which FIDESZ and parties placed on its right remind Hungarians day and night that the Socialists are former communists and claim the MSZP has changed its name but not its habits, Kovacs could be used by the opposition to serve as the embodiment of that alleged fallacious transformation.
		Fewer Hungarians may care about the past than the opposition would like to believe, but the trouble of the current MSZP-SZDSZ ruling coalition is that a lot of Hungarians care about the present and worry about the future.

	Twin referenda fail
		To vote 'yes' was largely a moral issue, it stated, the primary purpose of which would be to give ethnic Hungarians a Hungarian passport and enable them to travel freely to Hungary and visit relatives there.
		Nonetheless, some employers' representatives, most notably the president of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Magyar Kereskedelmi és Iparkamara, MKIK), highlighted the current shortage of skilled workers in the labour market and the consequent wage pressure, which he said was harming competitiveness.
		In relation to the referendum on healthcare privatisation, the Democratic Union of Healthcare Employees (Egészségügyi és Szociális Ágazatban Dolgozók Demokratikus Szakszervezete, EDDSZ) and the Hungarian Chamber of Physicians (Magyar Orvosi Kamara, MOK) staged a demonstration in front of the parliament building calling for a 'yes' vote.

	Central Europe Review - Falling Down: The decline of liberalism in CEE
		In 1990, the Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ), a liberal party established mainly by former anti-Communist dissidents, and the Alliance of Young Democrats (FIDESZ), a party of non-conformist and anti-Communist university students, won 21.3 and 8.9 per cent, respectively.
		True, the FIDESZ, once an ally of the Free Democrats, turned out to be the real winner of the elections, expanding its share of the vote from seven to 29 per cent, but, in fact, the FIDESZ had moved substantially away from its old image of a liberal party.
		During their coalition with the MSZP, the Free Democrats began to be perceived as an unimportant arm of the Socialists, as a second, merely a bit more centrist, version of this party.

		The conservative Hungarian Democratic Forum (HDF), which had led the government coalition from 1990 to 1994, fell back from 165 seats to 37.
		Thus the Hungarian Workers' Party, ideological heir of the former communist party, and the extreme right-wing Hungarian Justice and Life Party, founded in 1992 by Istv·n Csurka, which obtained respectively 3.2% and 1.6% of the vote in the first round, emerged with no seats in the new parliament.
		Moreover, the voter turnout was high by Hungarian standards: 68.9% in the first round and 55.1% in the second.

	Hungarian Elections 2006
		Of the two small parties--namely, the liberal Free Democrats and the conservative Hungarian Democratic Forum--the former has the best chance of reaching the 5% threshold of parliamentary representation in the national elections to be held April 9, 2006.
		When the governing coalition of Socialists and Free Democrats were unable to nominate and support a single candidate (and with most Free Democrats unwilling to vote for the Socialist candidate) the junior coalition partner abstained from voting, thus giving the opposition the extra votes needed to elect its own candidate.
		The young democratic activist and adversary of the Communist regime became something of a national figure following a speech he gave on July 16, 1989, during the rehabilitation and reburial of Imre Nagy, Hungary’s prime minister during the 1956 revolution, who was later executed for his role in the uprising.

	2004 Annual Review for Hungary
		The Alliance of Young Democrats-Hungarian Civic Party (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége - Magyar Polgári Szövetség, FIDESZ-MPSZ), which is the major party of the right-wing opposition, took the opportunity to begin a campaign for more state protection, while blaming the government for the macroeconomic imbalances.
		The Hungarian Democratic Forum (Magyar Demokrata Fórum, MDF), the minor right-wing opposition party, obtained 5.3% of the vote and one seat.
		To close the gap between EU and Hungarian GDP levels from 46% to a minimum of 42% requires an annual 8% to 10% increase in export capacity and an increase in the labour market activity rate from the current 57% to 59% or 60%, which means the creation of at least 200,000 jobs.

	The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLV * No. 175 * Autumn 2004
		There is another side of the coin, however: the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, a very reliable and well-informed newspaper, reported that Hungarian economic indicators have improved and that the International Monetary Fund has a more positive assessment of the state of the Hungarian economy than the Hungarian National Bank, which paints a downright pessimistic picture.
		Now, as for the positive tendencies in the European elections, they testify to the maturity of Hungarian politics and the patience of Hungarians: compared to the Polish, Czech, Estonian, Latvian or Slovakian situation, this is clearly something we should welcome.
		One of the possibilities for the EU was development towards a supranational body with a common military force, a common foreign policy and a common currency.

	Sobaka :: The Hungarian Problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		NEWLY ELECTED HUNGARIAN PRIME Minister Viktor Orban said it well: "The borders of the Hungarian nation and the Hungarian State do not coincide." This is true, as witness the fact that fully one-third of all Hungarians are minorities in neighbouring countries, most just on the far side of the border.
		These would prefer it if Hungarians across the borders would simply shut up and be absorbed into Slovakia, Rumania, etc. One of their main concerns is precisely the sensibilities of countries that received Hungarian populations back in 1920, and again in 1947.
		The present centre-right coalition led by the Young Democrats - FIDESZ - is also aware of these difficulties, but they feel a need to represent, somehow, those Hungarians who are now stuck as citizens of countries that they have no historical connections with - such as Ukraine and Rumania.

		In a period of half a year, the party turned from an opposition faction in the parliament, to the biggest political force, together with its coalition partner from the Alliance of Free Democrats (SzDSz).
		It is important to note that the political spectrum after the April 2002 elections became extremely polarised with just two competing blocs in Parliament, consisting of merely four political parties.
		The centre-right coalition consists of the Alliance of Young Democrats - Hungarian Civic Party (FIDESZ-MPP) and the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) – the coalition which had ruled the country for the last four years.
