Hungarian Alliance Slovak political party

The Hungarian Alliance (Slovak: Maďarská Aliancia; Hungarian: Magyar Szövetség) is a political party in Slovakia for the ethnic Hungarian minority. It was founded when "Party of the Hungarian Community" and Most–Híd merged into "Hungarian Community Togetherness". It is led by László Gubík since September 2024. The party won 13.24% of the vote at the EU parliament election in 2004. In the 2019 European elections, SMK–MKP fell just short of the 5% threshold with 4.96% thus losing their MEP. The SMK-MKP party was founded as Party of theHungarian Coalition (Hungarian:Magyar Koalíció Pártja, Slovak: Strana maďARSkej koalície) in 1998 in response to an anti-coalition law passed. The law prevented parties from forming electoral cartels at election time, which small parties had used to overcome the5% electoral threshold.
