Everybody's Hungary Movement

The Everybody's Hungary Movement[lower-alpha 1] (Hungarian: Mindenki Magyarországa Mozgalom; MMM) is a Hungarian political movement established to foster independent opposition and alternatives to Fidesz candidates in local elections. The Movement, which does not describe itself as a political party,[8] was founded by Péter Márki-Zay and associates in 2018 as a means of fostering cooperation between Hungary's fractured opposition parties. Márki-Zay won the mayoralty of Hódmezővásárhely in 2018, and in 2021 became the candidate of the United Opposition to challenge Viktor Orbán in the upcoming 2022 parliamentary election.
