Klára Dobrev, Prime Minister of the Democratic Coalition shadow government, announced on 28 March 2024 that the party alliance will run on a joint list in the 2024 European Parliament election and local elections, as well as in the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election, providing voters with a unified Social Democrat-Green list.[5]
Despite announcing the alliance would continue into the next parliamentary election, the leader of DK, Ferenc Gyurcsány, declared in October 2024 that his party would run candidates on its own in 2026.[6] This news came amongst reports that an opposition alliance without DK was being formed under the name of the Danube Alliance.[7]
History
editPéter 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 around 15-20%, so the left-wing formations had to step in: from among the opposition parties, the Democratic Coalition, the Hungarian Socialist Party, and the Dialogue decided to form a long-term political alliance. Klára Dobrev announced formation of an alliance at the press conference on 28 March 2024.[8] They agreed that the three parties will run on a unified Social Democrat-Green list in the 2024 European Parliament election and 2026 parliamentary election.
On 9 June, the alliance finished in third place both in the 2024 European Parliament election and in the 2024 Budapest Assembly election, while Gergely Karácsony was re-elected in the 2024 Budapest mayoral election. The next day, Klára Dobrev's shadow cabinet was dissolved.[9]
