		The Hungarian Democratic Forum stated that "reform of the ruling party is a long-awaited and important event" but believed that the party had failed to make a clear break with the past.
		The Hungarian government took this action in response to public protests over the environmental damage caused by the project and in light of a recommendation by a panel of experts that the project be abandoned.
		In return for the Hungarian Democratic Forum's support for Goncz, the Alliance of Free Democrats agreed to support a series of amendments to the Constitution that were to secure the establishment of "an independent democratic constitutional state" in Hungary and provide the legal basis for a market economy.

	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.

		Parties represented in the Hungarian parliament include the HSP; the moderately conservative Independent Smallholders’ Party; the Alliance of Free Democrats, an ally of the HSP; the far-right Hungarian Justice and Life Party; and the Hungarian Democratic Forum.

	Bozoki - Volume 11 Number 3
		During the 1989-90 democratic transition, absolute priority was given to demonstrating the break with the old regime; that is why those days were dominated by politics heavy with symbolism that drew a sharp dividing line between past and present.
		Democratic consolidation may be studied at the level of elites, organizations, or citizens.
		One underlying goal of democratic consolidation is social peace, a healing of wounds, and a policy of common prosperity spreading to a greater segment of the population.

	Stabilizing the Democratic Transition: The 1990 Hungarian Parliamentary Elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Hungarian transition from single-party Communist political domination to multi-party democracy had its origins in two simultaneous processes: the breakdown of the Communist party and the development of independent social and political organizations.
		In their actions, traditional Hungarian culture, the plight of the Hungarian minority abroad, and the memory of 1956 were constant themes.
		Throughout the Hungarian transition the simultaneous efforts of the independent organizations to change the institutional structure of politics and society and define themselves was mirrored by developments within the ruling party.

	Religion in Eastern Europe
		Hungarian life and culture, politics and religion, the Hungarian "soul" itself, is full of paradoxes and contradictions, countervailing tendencies and forces.
		However, the Social Democrats were severely handicapped by factional infighting largely between an old guard of communists in their seventies and eighties against whom the younger members did not have a chance of winning.

		The pivotal role of László T_kés, an ethnic Hungarian, now a Bishop of the Reformed Church, and honorary chair of the Hungarian Democratic Union, the largest opposition party in Romania, in the events that served as a catalyst for the Revolution of 1989 are well known.
		The decline of the Young Democrats was simultaneous with the rise of the Socialists.
		Although, the Hungarian Democratic Forum did not use the theme of national reconciliation in either 1990 or 1994, much of the source of the party's strength in the first of these elections was the persona of Antall, Jeszenszky, etc., and their prudent approach to communist rule in the post-1956 period.

	Triple Transition in Eastern Europe
		Even ardent anti-Communists remain uncomfortable with the bickering and bargaining of democratic politics, and this malaise is compounded by the fragility of the electoral connection between public and government.
		Most commonly, broad umbrella organizations such as Civic Forum in Czechoslovakia, Hungarian Democratic Forum in Hungary, and Solidarity in Poland contested and won the initial elections and formed still broader governing coalitions in parliament, only to disintegrate gradually and painfully under the burden of governance.
		The flourishing of free media is central to the development of democratic institutions; democracy is unthinkable without a feedback process that permits popular judgment of the accountability of their leaders.

		The absence of representatives of the "democratic opposition" from Lakitelek was not accidental.
		Although the role of changes in Hungarian regime policy toward East German "tourists" and refugees is well known in the history of the collapse of communism in 1989, the impact of Hungarian regime policy on the Transylvanian question in Hungarian politics and upon Hungarian-Romanian relations is generally not.
		The response of Hungarian authorities to protests that occurred in the immediate wake of the special party conference in late May demonstrated even more clearly the lines between tolerated and unacceptable dissent and the regime's efforts to differentiate and drive a wedge between the two.

		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.
		Fidesz struggled to maintain its integrity as many of its members were continuously harassed, sometimes beaten, and routinely oppressed both by the ruling communists and the stronger parties of the democratic opposition.
