Hungarian Justice and Life Party

Defunct The Hungarian Justice and Life Party (Hungarian: Magyar Igazság és Élet Pártja, pronounced [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈiɡɒʃːaːɡ ˈeːʃ ˈeːlɛt ˈpaːrcɒ], MIÉP) was a nationalist[2] political party in Hungary that was founded by István Csurka in 1993.

In the 1998 legislative elections, the party won 5.5% of the votes and gained parliamentary representation, with 14 seats.

In 2005, MIÉP joined forces with a newer, radical Hungarian nationalist political party, Jobbik.

It purported to speak for Christians whilst standing up for the rights of Hungarian minorities in the neighbouring countries.

In the aftermath, MIÉP lost its leadership of the far-right forces in Hungary, with Jobbik going on to achieve success in the 2010 elections.
