The Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ) was a liberal political party in Hungary that was active from 1988 to 2013. The party was founded by Janos Kis, Marton Tardos, Gaspar Miklos Tamas, and Milos Haraszti, and it suggested a radical agenda for changing the political, social, and economic system in the country. In 1994, the party entered the government as a coalition partner of the Hungarian Socialist Party, and the alliance ended only in 2008. The party's heyday ended when it suffered heavy losses in the 1998 parliamentary election, and it withdrew from the coalition in 2008 due to reform-related disputes. After the 2010 parliamentary elections, it won only .25% of the vote and was shut out of the legislature and wiped off the map even in Budapest. The party dissolved in 2013.
