History

edit

The Dialogue for Hungary party had formed a coalition with the Together 2014 party; together, they won four seats in the national assembly and one seat in the European Parliament. Dialogue for Hungary took one seat from the four in the Hungarian parliament and had one representative in Brussels.

On 24 August 2016, spokesperson Bence Tordai announced that the shortened form of the party's name would change to "Dialogue".[4] In September 2016, the party's logo was changed to Párbeszéd (Dialogue), instead of "PM" by removing the word Hungary.

In the spring of 2018 the party formed an alliance with the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP). In the 2019 local elections the party's chairman Gergely Karácsony was elected as Mayor of Budapest.
