History
Creation
In 2005, at the XXI Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of the Soviet Union (it numbers from the previous Communist Parties), several figures from the leadership were expelled from the party, including Presidium member Janos Fratanolo and Deputy Chairman Attila Vainai. In 2006, they were followed by approximately one third of the members of the WCP, who created the 2006 Hungarian Workers Party [1] .
In the same year, she participated in parliamentary elections, but collected only 0.026% of the vote. However, in the local elections of the same 2006, her representatives were able to get into local councils of cities such as Khodmezovasharhey and Batonterje , and Thoth Andrushne, who was nominated by her, was elected mayor of the town of Egerchehi, who headed until 2014.
International Relations
The new party, more closely than the orthodox-Stalinist VKRP, collaborated with trade unions and was involved in the international left and alter globalization (ATTAC-Hungary) movement. WRCU left the European Left Party , and RPV 2006 was admitted to this European association after meeting in Geneva in October 2009.
Red Star Appeal
It was the Workers' Party of Hungary 2006 that appealed the ban on communist symbols introduced by the Hungarian authorities back in 1993, namely the red five-pointed star - in the end, in 2008, the European Court of Human Rights granted the RPV 2006 lawsuit filed by Attila Vainai, which had previously been subjected the persecution in Hungary for wearing an asterisk on a jacket lapel during a manifestation in 2003. When, on May Day 2013, the 2006 Hungarian Workers Party used flags with a red star, the right wing attacked the demonstration.
Attempts to Build Left Alliances
Being more open to the “ new left ”, the 2006 Hungarian Workers Party attempted to create a “red-green coalition” with environmentalists (György Droppa's Green Democrats party) and feminists (Andrei Alföldi, European Feminist Initiative for a Different Europe), logging in on February 28 2009 to the Green Left Party ( Zöld Baloldal Párt ), led by former dissident and leading left-wing intellectual of the country Gashpar Miklos Tamas [2] . In addition to anti-capitalist and socialist, the new force also had to have an environmental, feminist and anti-racist orientation.
The Green Left managed to collect 20,000 necessary signatures for participating in the European Parliament elections, however, bureaucratic obstacles prevented them from being registered as a subject of the electoral process, although two pan-European party associations (the European Left Party and the European Green Party itself ) spoke in support of them. In addition, a much more successful new green party has appeared - “ Politics may be different .”
Then the Hungarian Workers Party 2006 tried to cooperate with another small radical left-wing political force that arose in 2014 - the Left Party ( A BAL - Balpárt ); in 2016, they announced that they would cooperate in the 2018 parliamentary elections, but as a result did not participate in them.
