What happened
History Formation and name The party was founded in Eger on 23 October 2020 by local politicians and entrepreneurs Attila Szabó and Boldizsár Deák, and planned to contest the 2022 Hungarian parliamentary election . [ 1 ] The party rejected state funds and instead relied on donations and personal wealth of its members. While it collected 222,000 forints , the party could not run in the elections that year. [ 2 ]
Attacks against the party The party has alleged that it has been the victim of attacks and allegations from several figures and organisations, often linked to the Fidesz government. Targeting Magyar See also: Péter Magyar In May 2025, a new regulation was passed that changed the rules on asset declaration, which was widely considered to be targeting Magyar and potentially remove his mandate as MEP. [ 1 ] As a result, Magyar and all other MEPs made their assets public. [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
The Respect and Freedom Party, commonly known by its Hungarian abbreviations Tisza Party and TISZA, is a conservative, centre-right, pro-European, and populist political party in Hungary. It has been the governing party since the 2026 general election.
