Our Homeland Movement (Hungarian: Mi Hazánk Mozgalom, {{IPA|hu|ˈmi ˈhɒzaːŋk ˈmozɡɒlom|pron}}, Mi Hazánk, MHM, MH) is a Hungarian far-right political party. It was founded by Ásotthalom mayor and former Jobbik Vice-President, László Toroczkai, along with other Jobbik dissidents who left the organization after the party's leadership moved away from its radical beginnings. The party ran in the 2019 European Parliament elections for the first time, but it did not win a seat. However, in the 2022 parliamentary election, it became the third largest party in the country with a result of nearly 6%, far surpassing public opinion polls. In the 2024 European Parliament elections, the party continued to increase its support, reaching nearly 7%.

History

On April 8, 2018, after the lost elections, the president of Jobbik, Gábor Vona, resigned, true to his promise, and therefore a reform congress was announced in the party. László Toroczkai was the first to indicate his intention to run for the position of president, which was followed by the presidential application of Tamás Sneider, nominated by the acting presidency. Almost half of the congress delegates (46%) voted for the pair of László Toroczkai (president) and Dóra Dúra (deputy president). László Toroczkai announced that he is forming a platform within the party called Mi Magunk.{{cite web|url=https://www.hirado.hu/belfold/belpolitika/cikk/2018/05/22/partszakadashoz-vezethet-az-ellentet-a-jobbikban |title=Pártszakadáshoz vezethet az ellentét a Jobbikban |access-date=2018-07-04 |date=2018-05-22 |publisher=Híradó.hu}} The presidency announced that it will not accept Toroczkai's platform because it considers it against the constitution, although there is no such decision in the constitution. Proceedings were initiated against Toroczkai and Dóra Dúró, Dóra Dúró was expelled from the faction, and Toroczkai from the party. After that, Dóra Dúró{{cite web |url=https://www.hirado.hu/belfold/belpolitika/cikk/2018/06/08/duro-doraval-egyutt-tobbek-kilepnek-a-jobbikbol |title=Dúró Dórával együtt többek kilépnek a Jobbikból |access-date=2018-07-04 |date=2018-06-08 |publisher=Híradó.hu}} and her husband Előd Novák left the party, so the Mi Magunk platform became an independent movement. Due to the failure of the platform creation, the new movement under the name Mi Hazánk Mozgalom will raise its flag on June 23, 2018 in Ásottthalom. As a result of Toroczkai's expulsion and the proceedings against Dóra Dúró, many Jobbik members and grassroots organizations indicated their withdrawal from the party or their dissolution. Some of them joined the new movement.{{cite web|url=https://www.hirado.hu/belfold/belpolitika/cikk/2018/06/18/folytatodik-a-kilepesi-hullam-a-jobbikban |title=Folytatódik a kilépési hullám a Jobbikban |access-date=2018-07-04 |date=2018-06-18 |publisher=Híradó.hu}} On August 20, 2018, they announced their Founding Declaration at their celebratory event in Budapest's Városliget, and the next day, on August 21, 2018, Deputy President Dóra Dúró announced that the court registration of Mi Hazánk Mozgalom as a political party was legally binding.{{cite web |url=http://www.atv.hu/videok/video-20180821-egyenes-beszed-kontra-duro-dora-mi-hazank-mozgalom |title=Egyenes Beszéd Kontra - Dúró Dóra (Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) |access-date=2018-08-21 |date=2018-08-21 |publisher=atv.hu |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180823041903/http://www.atv.hu/videok/video-20180821-egyenes-beszed-kontra-duro-dora-mi-hazank-mozgalom |archive-date=August 23, 2018}}

In early 2019, the party made an alliance with the right-wing Hungarian Justice and Life Party and the agrarian Independent Smallholders, Agrarian Workers and Civic Party.{{cite web|title=A Független Kisgazdapárt is csatlakozna a MIÉP és a Mi Hazánk Mozgalom együttműködéséhez |url=https://magyarnarancs.hu/belpol/a-fuggetlen-kisgazdapart-is-csatlakozna-a-miep-es-a-mi-hazank-mozgalom-egyuttmukodesehez-117506 |website=Magyar Narancs |date=February 20, 2019 |access-date=20 February 2019|language=hu}}

In 2019 local elections, the party won 8 seats in counties' assemblies.

In the 2022 parliamentary election, the party surpassed the 5% threshold to enter parliament, winning 6 seats and forming the second largest faction in the Hungarian Parliament.

In 2022, the party hosted representatives of Alternative for Sweden (AfS), Alternative for Germany (AfD), the Dutch Forum for Democracy (FvD) and the Bulgarian Revival party at the Hungarian-Serbian border, describing them as "allies".{{cite tweet |user=AfS_riks |number=1552719171737292807 |title=Alternativ för Sveriges @feymark besöker vårt ungerska systerparti Mi Hazank tillsammans med @AfD och @fvdemocratie. Mi Hazank kom in i det ungerska parlamentet tidigare i år och ser fram emot att samarbeta med andra partier som står upp för nationernas Europa!}} Our Homeland Movement party leader László Toroczkai, as well as AfD's Stefan Korte, both held individual speeches at AfS's election campaign meeting held in Rålambshovsparken in Stockholm on 6 August 2022.{{cite web|url=https://alternativforsverige.se/ungersk-partiledare-talar-pa-valupptakten/|title=Ungersk partiledare talar på valupptakten|work=alternativforsverige.se|access-date=1 September 2022|language=sv}}

In August 2023, the party organized a joint "Declaration for a free Europe of Nations" with the AfS, FvD, Revival, the Czech Republic's Freedom and Direct Democracy and the Swiss Mass-Voll party, with a view towards forming a future new group in the European Parliament.{{cite news|work=Visegrad Post|title=A "Declaration for a free Europe of Nations" announcing a possible new European group|date=29 August 2023|url=https://visegradpost.com/en/2023/08/29/a-declaration-for-a-free-europe-of-nations-announcing-a-possible-new-european-group/}}

The party supports the autonomy of Hungarian communities abroad, for example, it supports the Székely autonomy movement and it also supports Hungarian Regional Autonomy.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-26 |title=Tüzet gyújt a Mi Hazánk az Érsekkertben a székely autonómia napján |url=https://www.heol.hu/helyi-kozelet/2022/10/tuzet-gyujt-a-mi-hazank-az-ersekkertben-a-szekely-autonomia-napjan |website=heol.hu}} They would support education of the Hungarian diaspora in the Hungarian language from kindergarten to university, as well as the use of Hungarian national symbols.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-04 |title=Autonómiát Kárpátaljának! – Tüntetett a Mi Hazánk |url=https://mihazank.hu/autonomiat-karpataljanak-tuntetett-a-mi-hazank/ |website=mihazank.hu}} The party wishes to establish the day of the signing of the Second Vienna Award as a holiday, called the Day of Homecoming, to commemorate the territorial revisions recovered by regent Miklós Horthy.{{Cite web |date=2020-05-22 |title=Észak-Erdély visszacsatolásának napját ünnepelné a Mi Hazánk |url=https://pestihirlap.hu/2020/05/22/eszak-erdely-visszacsatolasanak-napjat-unnepelne-a-mi-hazank/ |website=pestihirlap.hu}}

=== Social issues ===

The party strongly opposes LGBT rights.{{cite web|url=https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210708-hungary-s-lgbtq-community-braces-for-propaganda-bill|title=Hungary's LGBTQ community braces for 'propaganda' bill|work=France 24|date=July 8, 2021|access-date=December 22, 2022}} After the release of a children's book, Meseország mindenkié, which features LGBT members and ethnic minorities as characters, the Deputy President of the party, Dóra Dúró, referred to the book as "homosexual propaganda" during a press conference, and promptly ripped pages out of the book and then shredded them. The move caused significant controversy and garnered international attention.{{Cite magazine|title=A Children's Book Is Becoming a Symbol of Resistance in Hungary's Fight Over LGBT Rights|url=https://time.com/5897312/hungary-book-lgbt-rights/|access-date=2021-10-23|magazine=Time|first=Suyin|last=Haynes|date=8 October 2020}} The party has called for a ban on LGBT pride marches.{{cite web |url=https://hungarytoday.hu/mi-hazank-ban-budapest-pride-march/ |title=Mi Hazánk Demands Ban on Pride March |work=Hungary Today |date=2019-06-26 |access-date=2022-09-15}}{{cite web |url=https://www.visegradgroup.eu/news/mi-hazank-demands-ban-on |title=The Visegrad Group: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia | Mi Hazank demands ban on gay march |website=visegradgroup.eu |date=2019-06-25 |access-date=2022-09-15}}

= Environment =

In an interview with Mandiner, party leader László Toroczkai described MHM as "a unique green party in Europe", stating that "we are unwilling to accept that only anti-social and anti-human liberal parties can be green parties. We think that those who do not want to protect our environment, our forests, our beautiful Great Plain, Lake Balaton, our rivers cannot really love their homeland". Thus, the party is sometimes referred to as supporting some form of green conservatism.

= Health =

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the party has protested lockdown measures set in place by the government, accusing them of "inciting panic" and ruining the country.{{cite web|date=2021-04-20|title=Hungarian far-right party protests lockdown|url=https://apnews.com/article/hungary-budapest-coronavirus-pandemic-economy-ecd0b637126258601ca249f35b5b8743|access-date=2021-10-23|website=AP NEWS|first=Justin|last=Spike}} The party also promotes vaccine hesitancy, having launched a petition against the use of COVID-vaccines on children aged 12–15.{{cite web|date=2021-07-13|title=Mi Hazánk Launches Petition Against Vaccination Rollout for Children|url=https://hungarytoday.hu/mi-hazank-launches-petition-against-vaccination-rollout-for-children/|access-date=2021-10-23|website=Hungary Today}} In 2024, they called on the government to explore the possibility of banning mRNA vaccines, which they say are "responsible for many health problems and deaths".{{Cite web |last=János |first=Kemény |date=2024-10-16 |title=A Mi Hazánk követeli a Covid-intézkedések azonnali kivizsgálását |url=https://magyarjelen.hu/a-mi-hazank-koveteli-a-covid-intezkedesek-azonnali-kivizsgalasat/ |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=Magyar Jelen |language=hu}} Previously, several politicians of the party have falsely spread the claim that vaccines are "three times more deadly than the virus itself."{{Cite web |date=2021-07-13 |title=Félrevezető számokkal kampányol a gyerekek oltása ellen a Mi Hazánk |url=https://telex.hu/koronavirus/2021/07/13/gyerekek-oltas-vakcina-veszelyek-haszon-kockazat-mi-hazank-mozgalom-vaers-mellekhatasok-covid-nyajimmunitas |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=telex |language=hu}} They support withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO).{{Cite web |last=Tamás |first=Pál |date=2025-01-21 |title=A Mi Hazánk azonnal kiléptetné Magyarországot a WHO-ból |url=https://telex.hu/belfold/2025/01/21/mi-hazank-kileptetni-magyarorszagot-a-who-bol-egeszsegugyi-vilagszervezet-toroczkai-laszlo-donald-trump}}

The party advocates neutrality in the Israel-Palestine conflict and criticises the Fidesz government for its pro-Israel stance, with Our Homeland Movement calling for an immediate ceasefire and two-state solution, condemning the death of civilians on both sides, and describing the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip as a "massacre".{{cite news|work=Budapest Times|title=Mi Hazank: Hungary 'must stay out of Israeli-Palestinian conflict'|url=https://www.budapesttimes.hu/hungary/mi-hazank-hungary-must-stay-out-of-israeli-palestinian-conflict/}} The party later invited the Ambassador of South Africa to Hungary to present its claim of Israeli genocide in Gaza at an event held at the Turkish Embassy, and advocated for designating Israeli settlers in the West Bank as terrorists.{{cite web|work=Mi Hazank|title=A sékeljobboldal bojkottálta, a Mi Hazánk felszólalt a török nagykövetségi konferencián!|date=11 March 2024|url=https://mihazank.hu/a-sekeljobboldal-bojkottalta-a-mi-hazank-felszolalt-a-torok-nagykovetsegi-konferencian/}}

= Education =

In education, their goal is to modernize the curriculum and reduce the amount of current curriculum. They believe that IT, English and physical education should be given priority. In addition, they consider the nationalist education of young Hungarians and their education for family life to be important. They support the creation of Christian and nationalist children's movements, such as the Levente Movement. In the summer of 2023, they started such camps in several settlements of the country. The party supports the segregation of Hungarian and Roma pupils in educational institutions.{{cite web |date=2020-01-06 |title=Dúró Dóra: a Mi Hazánk szegregálna |url=https://24.hu/belfold/2020/01/06/duro-dora-szegregacio-gyongyospata/ |access-date=2022-06-14 |website=24.hu |language=hu}} However, according to the party's official position, students would be segregated based on their behavior rather than their nationality.
