Katalin Cseh was born on 29 June 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3] Her early education was at Toldy Ferenc High School in Budapest, Hungary.[4][5] She graduated from Semmelweis University. In 2015, she obtained a master's degree in Health Economics, Policy, and Law from Erasmus University Rotterdam.[6] In the same year, Cseh co-founded Momentum Movement group with nine others.[6] The group campaigned against the Hungarian government's decision to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. They petitioned for a referendum on the issue and garnered more than 266,000 signatures. This resulted in the government withdrawing their bid.[7]
Momentum Movement became a centrist political party in March 2017.[7] In August 2017, she was appointed to the governing board of the party.[6] Cseh was a candidate for the party in the 2018 Hungarian parliamentary election.[8] The party did not win any seats in parliament, and the governing board (including Cseh) resigned.[9][10]
