The Hungarian Alliance of Transylvania (Hungarian: Erdélyi Magyar Szövetség, EMSZ; Romanian: Alianța Maghiară din Transilvania, AMT) is a political party representing the Hungarian minority in Romania. The party was founded on 1 November 2022, by merge between Hungarian People's Party of Transylvania and Hungarian Civic Party.
The party supports Székely autonomy according to the party website.[1]
The Hungarian Alliance of Transylvania was founded on 1 November 2022, after three years of negotiations and a merge process between PPMT and PCM. After announcement of the new party, the president, János Mezei, stated for Hungarian press agency MTI that his presidency will be for 2 years until the first congress that will elect a new leadership. Until then, the presidency will focus on building the organization and preparing the party for the local elections in 2024, it was also stated.[2][3]
In January 2023, János Mezei was convicted of blackmail. He later resigned as party president as a result of the conviction.[4][5]
In March 2023, at the first joint meeting of delegates within the Hungarian Alliance of Transylvania, which took place in Cristuru Secuiesc, elected MP Zoltán Zakariás as president. Also, a new logo was presented.[6][7]
