Fidesz–KDNP Party Alliance (Hungarian:Fidesz–KDNP pártszövetség), formerly also known as theAlliance of Hungarian Solidarity (Hungarian:Magyar Szolidaritás Szövetsége), is a right-wingnational conservativepolitical alliance oftwo political parties in Hungary, theFidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz) and theChristian Democratic People's Party (KDNP). The two parties jointly contested every national election since the2006 parliamentary election. The Fidesz–KDNP party alliance has governed Hungary since 2010, altogether obtaining asupermajority in each of the2010,2014,2018, and2022 national elections.
The two parties formed their permanent electoral coalition on 10 December 2005.[3] After the 2006 election, Fidesz and KDNP separately formed parliamentary groups, but they established a caucus alliance in the Hungarian parliament.[4]
Technically Fidesz and KDNP are a coalition, but many consider KDNP to actually be a satellite party of Fidesz,[5][6] since it has been unable to get into the Parliament on its own since1994 when it barely passed theelection threshold of 5% of votes. Without Fidesz, its support cannot be measured,[7][8][9] and even a leading Fidesz politician,János Lázár stated in 2011 that Fidesz does not consider the government to be a coalition government.[10]
On 3 March 2021, the Fidesz left theEuropean People's Party Parliamentary Group, while KDNP remained a member.[citation needed] In response to the admission of theTisza Party to the EPP following the2024 European Parliament election, the KDNP decided to leave the EPP and its parliamentary group on 18 June 2024.[11]
