What does Magyar Szövetség – Maďarská aliancia propose?
The Hungarian Alliance (Magyar Szövetség – Maďarská aliancia) is the party of Slovakia’s Hungarian minority, and also speaks for other minorities and the south and east. It was formed in 2021 by the merger of the Party of the Hungarian Community (SMK), Most–Híd and the Összefogás movement. Since 2024 it has been led by László Gubík. In 2023 it won 4.4% and no seats, and in the 2024 European elections 3.9%.
It has no seats in the National Council, is not in government and rules out working with Smer at national level. Polls in September and October 2026 put it at 3.3–3.9%. It proposes a law on the status of national minorities with collective rights, Hungarian as an official regional language and an end to land confiscations based on the Beneš decrees. It supports EU and NATO membership and belongs to the European People’s Party. In May 2026 it agreed to cooperate on policy with Progresívne Slovensko, but plans to run alone in 2027.
