Alliance for the Village and Countryside

History

The SZFV made an electoral coalition with the Agrarian Alliance (ASZ), the two parties had two joint individual candidates for the 1990 parliamentary election,[2] József Fabi in Szigetvár and SZFV leader Ferenc Wekler in Mohács. In addition to this, the party's two other politicians also ran solely (Jenő Gáspár in Pécs and Gyula Kóbor in Komló), all four of them in Baranya County. Surprisingly, Wekler won his constituency in the first round. After that he was also supported by the Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ) and he obtained the mandate with 57.2 percent of the votes in the second round. In accordance with the electoral deal, Wekler joined the SZDSZ parliamentary group. The SZFV did not contest any further elections, it became technically defunct by August 2001, when the Baranya County Court ordered to dissolve the organization.[1]
