	Hungary - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Every party member could "propose delegates and be eligible for election." The guidelines stressed that members were to acquaint themselves with the views of candidates prior to the election of delegates, so they could vote for the representatives of the faction of their choice.
		All parties represented in the National Assembly were to be entitled to state budget support: 25 percent of the funds were to be shared equally, while 75 percent of the funds were to be divided according to the number of seats held by each party.
		Other parties winning the necessary 4 percent threshold for representation in the National Assembly were the Hungarian Socialist Party with 10.89 percent of the vote, the Federation of Young Democrats with 8.95 percent of the vote, and the Christian Democratic People's Party with 6.46 percent of the vote.

		It is the part-successor of the communist Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (or MSZMP), which ruled Hungary between 1956 and 1989.

	Antisemitism And Racism
		Csurka’s party, which until the 2002 elections, had representatives on the board of directors of the public broadcasting commission and the media, was active in “unmasking” the “socialist-liberal [read ‘Jewish’]” spirit in the media.
		Relations between the Hungarian population and the authorities and the Roma minority remained problematic, despite government pledges to ease tensions by promoting cultural and educational activities and the election of four Roma members of parliament.
		Hungarian educators continued their participation in the now annual seminars at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem in an endeavor to carry out the government’s pledge to include Holocaust studies in the school curriculum.

	The 1994 Hungarian General Election
		While the HSP was able to maintain a united front on account of the traditions of party discipline and strong central direction inherited from the communist period, its rival suffered from intra-party rivalries and dissensions.
		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.
		Although support for the HSP was higher in the eastern part of the country, the HSP still obtained an overwhelming majority of single member constituencies in the west.

	Russia to Pay for Hungary's Reforms
		Contrary to neighboring Poland, where the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party managed to combine in its platform the religious-patriotic motives with promises to support socially weak layers of population and agricultural sector, the accent that the Hungarian Civic Union put on religious-patriotic motives in its pre-election campaign did not have any success.
		Such source – a large-scaled one and guaranteeing a rapid income to Hungarian treasury – can be obtained from realization of a multi-billion package of proposals for economic partnership, presented by the Russian President Vladimir Putin during his official visit to Budapest in February 2006.
		Socialists and their allies from liberal camp, taking advantage at the state level, do not intend to give way to opposition at the level of big cities' municipalities.

	AllRefer.com - Hungary -Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party \| Hungarian Information Resource
		The Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (HSWP) formed the "revolutionary vanguard of the working class" that "organizes and guides the people in their struggle to construct a Socialist society." The ideology, method of decision making, and structure of the HSWP all derived from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).
		In practice, bodies such as the party congress and the Central Committee on the national level and the conference on the county and district levels were too large and met too infrequently to exercise decision-making power (see fig.
		The party, aiming to be a monolithic organization, enforced strict discipline on the membership for violating the Party Rules (see Glossary) and for infringing on the norms of democratic centralism.

	Testing 123
		On February 21, 1992, party leader József Torgyán announced that the party was withdrawing from the government coalition because the MDF had denied it an opportunity to influence policy; the action was accompanied by the expulsion of most of the FKgP's 44 parliamentary deputies, who proceeded to reaffirm their support for the Antall administration.
		Gyula Horn was, in turn, chosen to succeed Nyers in May 1990 and led the party to a decisive victory in the May 1994 general election with a vote share of 32.6 percent in the first round and 54.2 percent in the second.
		Despite the opposition of Jewish groups, the MNSz was permitted to present candidates for the 1998 legislative balloting, the party campaigning in opposition to NATO membership and in favor of the “recapture” of former Hungarian territory.

	Opening Full Session of the National Roundtable Negotiations
		In our opinion, apart from the political realism of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, these results were due to the social organizations and movements present and the constructive efforts of the evolving parties.
		The Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, together with other political forces, strives to build a democratic and socialist constitutional state which asserts the intention of the people.
		This is the precondition for the forming of a viable coalition and for avoiding the paralyzing of party pluralism in Hungary by the petty disputes of the parties.

	Hungary - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The HSWP itself split, in October 1989, and most of its leaders organized a new party, the Hungarian Socialist Party.
		By contrast, until late 1989 tensions between Hungary and Romania were rising over the latter's treatment of its Hungarian minority, but, after the December 1989 revolution in Romania, the chances for the resolution of that problem improved.
		Hungarian is a member of the Finno-Ugric language family, which also includes such languages as Estonian and Finnish.

	A time of revolution within the Hungarian Socialist Party - The Budapest Times
		The Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) seems in the mood for renewal and rejuvenation, which was confirmed by the election of 40-year old Culture Minister István Hiller as the new party chairman at the recent party congress.
		Although Hiller came to the head of the senior governing coalition party with the support of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány there is no guarantee of a conflict-free co-operation between the government and the MSZP with the election of Imre Szekeres as deputy chairman.
		Conversely, the new party chairman has appointed such older party members to his team like head of the Prime Minister’s Office Péter Kiss, who was Gyurcsány’s competitor for the PM spot and Minister of Interior Mónika Lamperth.

		After the Hungarian Socialist Party held a press conference aimed at informing the international press about the deteriorating media situation, budapestweek.com asked Ildiko Lendvai, media specialist and Deputy head of The Hungarian Socialist Party Parliamentary Section to express her view of the recent events.
		The ruling parties leaned back in their chairs and said that they did not want to take part in the debates over the opposition parties candidates, and they would not elect the opposition trustees until there was an agreement that came from the opposition parties themselves.
		The ruling parties have only a slight majority in Parliament and thus they feel the support of the HTLP is necessary.

	McNair Paper 39 - Chapter 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In Hungary, with the Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party (HSWP) influence waning as a result of years of deepening crisis within the party apparatus and economic degeneration in the country, communist reformers inside the system engineered Hungary's reform in league with outside opposition.
		Finally, the reform had to remove Soviet and Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party (HSWP) influence from the military establishment, to ensure that Hungarian military forces were sufficient to guarantee the integrity of Hungary, and to return the armed forces to Hungarian society.
		Hungarian concerns about control of Hungarian forces during an emergency and authority to make the transition to war were evident in the October 1989 National Assembly debate over the new draft constitution.

	Hungarian parliamentary election, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The socialists withdrew 3 of their candidates in favor of the liberal one, and the liberals withdrew their remaining 55 candidates (all in 3rd place), and called for support of the socialists.
		The Hungarian Socialist Party wins with a plurality of the votes and will therefore continue to govern in coalition with the Alliance of Free Democrats; it also becomes the first re-elected government of Hungary since the end of the Cold War.
		Where a party wins more members in a regional than it technically should (for example, if it wins 2 of the 10 member in a region, but only received 19.5% of the vote), then the surplus votes will be deducted from the total it receives in the 2nd round.

	The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLV * No. 175 * Autumn 2004
		The Hungarian Socialist Party lost one and a half million of its votes; arguably, it could not have lost more even if it had relentlessly imposed the required measures.
		The expectations are not good for a governing party that keeps putting off unpopular measures, while its members abuse their position in order to advance their own private interests and, while they are at it, engage in power struggles and back-stabbing.
		In sum, the EU today is just as diverse and multicultural as Europe itself: in some countries the conservatives have the upper hand, in others the socialists or the liberals, and the European elections have reflected this diversity-they have reflected the stupidity, the successes and the failures.

	Hungarian elections: Victory for a "socialist" millionaire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Hungary’s governing alliance of the Hungarian “Socialist” Party (MSZP) and liberal Social-Democratic Alliance (SZDSZ) won a majority in the second round of voting in parliamentary elections held on April 23 and will continue to govern under the leadership of Ferenc Gyurcsany (MSZP).
		Ordinary Hungarians were confronted with choosing between a neo-liberal multimillionaire standing for the Socialist Party and a discredited bourgeois politician who incorporated openly fascist slogans into his election campaign.
		Gyurcsany’s “socialists” are also anything but moderate, worldly democrats and are also even prepared to resort to fascist vocabulary.

		In October 1989, reformers in the old communist party changed the party's name from the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party to the Hungarian Socialist Party.
		In that restructuring, some of the most conservative hardliners in the party formed another organization that carried on the name of the old.
		But although reformers hoped that the name change and a new emblem (the red carnation replacing the red star) would signal discontinuity with the past, the slogans and iconography of their election posters bore the legacy of the paternalism characteristic of state socialism.
