Background
Our Homeland Movement (Hungarian: Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) is a nationalist far-right party founded in 2018 by former Jobbik MPs who broke from that party as it moderated. In the 12 April 2026 parliamentary election, Our Homeland won 5.72% of the party-list vote, taking 6 of 199 seats. The result was modest but significant: the party survived the threshold cut-off, giving Hungary's legislature a bloc to Orbán's right even as Fidesz collapsed.
The party is led by Péter Jakab (post-2024) and takes positions including opposition to NATO membership, scepticism of EU institutions, anti-immigration hardline stances, and explicit sympathy for Russia's position in the Ukraine war. It competed with Fidesz for the same nationalist-conservative voter base, which contributed to vote-splitting that amplified Tisza's majority.
In a Péter Magyar-led government, Our Homeland will sit in opposition alongside the rump of Fidesz. Its 6 seats give it a parliamentary platform for nationalist rhetoric but no Coalition leverage. Analysts watching Hungary's trajectory toward EU norm compliance regard the party as an indicator of a durable far-right vote that the new government will need to manage without alienating centrist EU partners.
