Hungarian General Labour Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hungarian General Labour Party (Hungarian: Magyarországi Általános Munkáspárt) was a socialist political party in Hungary 1880-1890. The party was led by Leo Frankel. The ideological line was largely based on the Gotha Programme, but with some differences. After Frankel's arrest in 1881, the party came under control of more moderate elements, which moved away from the ideas of class struggle and proletarian internationalism.[1]

In 1889 the party took part in the founding of the Second International. In 1890 it founded a new party, the Social Democratic Party of Hungary.[1]
