History
Summarize
Perspective
Péter Magyar announced his intention to found a party on 15 March 2024. A few days later, the not-yet-formed political formation was polled at 15%, so the former opposition coalition's left-wing members, the Democratic Coalition, the Hungarian Socialist Party, and the Dialogue decided to form a long-term political alliance, which was announced by Klára Dobrev, Ágnes Kunhalmi and Gergely Karácsony at the press conference on 28 March 2024. They agreed that the three parties will run on a unified Social Democrat-Green list in the 2024 European Parliament election, 2024 local elections and 2026 parliamentary election.[5]
On 9 June, the alliance finished in 3rd place both in the 2024 European Parliament election and in the 2024 Budapest Assembly election, while Gergely Karácsony was re-elected as Mayor of Budapest. The next day, Klára Dobrev's shadow cabinet was dissolved.[6]
Despite announcing the alliance would continue into the next parliamentary election, DK leader Ferenc Gyurcsány and MSZP leader Imre Komjáthi both declared on 19 October 2024 that their parties would run candidates on their own in 2026.[7][8] This news came amongst reports that an opposition alliance without DK was being formed under the name of the Danube Alliance.[9]
