The LMP parliamentary faction officially disbanded

This follows the announcement from Antal Csárdi in October of the previous year regarding his departure from the party and its parliamentary group.

Antal Csárdi is now recognized as an independent representative. According to parliamentary rules, LMP's party leader, Péter Ungár, had three days to recruit another member to maintain the minimum requirement of five members for the faction. Unfortunately, Ungár was unable to persuade any of the independents to join, resulting in the automatic dissolution of the faction on Wednesday.

Changes in Representation

On Wednesday at 10 AM, the list of the four-member faction was still visible on the parliament's website. However, an hour later, their names had been transferred to the list of independent representatives. Relevant details about the LMP parliamentary faction, including its members, can now only be found on the party’s official site.

The dissolution not only affects their parliamentary representation but also means the loss of funding, committee positions, and opportunities to question the Prime Minister. Previously, the faction had a budget of 37 million HUF per month, which was established through an amendment approved in December.

Recent Departures from LMP

Péter Ungár previously stated that LMP would no longer be a part of the current opposition, which led to the exit of various members from the party. Former co-leader Erzsébet Schmuck announced her resignation after 15 years, and co-founder Gábor Vágó followed suit, claiming he simply forgot to leave earlier. Csárdi cited his decision to leave as a result of witnessing collaborations among LMP leaders that he felt contradicted the party's original values.
