Parlamenti választások Szlovákiában: képviselet nélkül maradtak a magyarok
Elections in Slovakia left Hungarians without representation

Summary/Abstract: The parliamentary elections held in February 2020 – the eighth since Slovakia became independent – led to a victory for Igor Matovič’s anti-corruption party OĽaNO, and the defeat of the ruling coalition led by Smer–SD. Six parties also passed the 5% electoral threshold, including the ultranationalist and protest parties. This earthquake-like electoral change altered the stable but otherwise diverse party scene in Slovakia. The election also witnessed the fourth competition for the Hungarian votes in Slovakia between the Party of the Hungarian Community (MKP) and the interethnic Slovak–Hungarian Most–Híd party. The key question for the Hungarian community was whether or not the Hungarian ethnic party would make it into parliament after three election failures.
