Opportunity Community (Hungarian: Esély Közösség, EK) is an organisation led by Member of the European Parliament István Ujhelyi. In April 2022, Ujhelyi showed interest in running for MSZP leadership and he proposed a new name "Opportunity – Party Community of Hungarian Social Democrats" (Hungarian: Esély – Magyar Szociáldemokraták Pártközössége).[4] He left the Hungarian Socialist Party after the failure of United for Hungary in the 2022 parliamentary election, criticizing "MSZP's lack of vision".[5]
