The agreement leading to the establishment of a unified political party was preceded by a unification process of almost two years, characterized by repeated stalls in negotiations.

"We have taken another serious and important step towards the political unification of the Hungarians in the highlands," declared Krisztián Forró, the president of the MKP. He stated: the new party will be a Hungarian party, a Hungarian party that will also represent the other nationalities living in the regions.

At the beginning of February, the MKP and Most-Híd announced that they would create the unified Hungarian party in the highlands, as their compromise proposals to the third negotiating partner – the Unity dwarf party – did not lead to results. In this context, Krisztián Forró answered MTI's question: further compromises were necessary on the part of everyone, but in the end they found a common voice.

He compared the importance of the union of the 3 parties to the creation of the coalition in 1998 - the piquancy of which is that this coalition was overthrown just a decade later by Most-Híd, which he now leads, though still under the command of Béla Bugár.
