Bugar quits alliance party, blames SMK for not adhering to agreements

Former Most-Hid leader Bela Bugar is quitting the ethnic-Hungarian Alliance party that has been formed by a merger of the extra-parliamentary Most-Hid, SMK and Osszefogas-Spolupatricnost parties. Explaining his departure, Bugar said on social media that the SMK platform had not been adhering to agreements that had been achieved. Alliance Republican Council chair Laszlo Solymos added that the whole Most-Hid platform operating in Samorin (Trnava region) was quitting the Alliance party, as the agreement on candidates for the autumn local elections failed to be achieved in the town.
