CATCH-ALL PARTY MODEL – IS IT POSSIBLE TO RESIST THE TENDENCIES?
PARTIES OF THE HUNGARIAN NATIONAL MINORITY IN ROMANIA AND
SLOVAKIA

The aim of this article is to verify the thesis that the parties of the Hungarian minority (SMK, Most-Hid in Slovakia and UDMR in Romania) resist to the catch-all trend. The period from the first free elections to the 2016 elections has been analyzed. The thesis has not been confirmed – the Hungarian national minority parties are catching the catch-all trend, but in the different level. It was shown that the catch-all strategy was much stronger in the Hungarian minority parties in the Slovak party system and an attempt was made to clarify this difference.
