The Christian Democratic People's Party ((ハンガリー語:Kereszténydemokrata Néppárt), KDNP) is a political party in Hungary. It is officially a coalition partner of ruling party Fidesz, but in reality it is a satellite party of Fidesz,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sanctions on Hungary: What For and Why Now? )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Election Briefing no. 51: Europe and the Hungarian Parliamentary Elections of April 2010 )〕 and has been unable to get into the Parliament on its own since 1994 when it barely passed the election threshold of 5% of votes. Without Fidesz, its support cannot be measured,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nemigen mérhető a KDNP támogatottsága )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Javuló Fidesz és Jobbik, stagnáló MSZP )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interjú Harrach Péterrel az Origo.hu hírportálon (Interview with KDNP politician Péter Harrach) )〕 and even a leading Fidesz politician, János Lázár let it slip that Fidesz doesn't consider the government to be a coalition government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lázár a KDNP-nek: "ez nem egy koalíciós kormány" (Lázár: This is not a coalition government) )〕 == History == The party was founded under the name of KDNP on 13 October 1944 by Hungarian Catholic statesmen, intellectuals and clergy, and was a successor to the pre-war United Christian Party.〔Vincent E McHale (1983) ''Political parties of Europe'', Greenwood Press, p511 ISBN 0-313-23804-9〕 Among the founders were Bishop Vilmos Apor, Béla Kovrig (president of the University of Kolozsvár), László Varga, General József Pálffy, ethnographer Sándor Bálint and political journalist István Barankovics. It was an offshoot of the ''Catholic Social Folk Movement'' (KSzN), a civil organization. At the beginning of 1945 they elected Barankovics as principal secretary. The new KDNP enjoyed just four or five months of semi-legality towards the end of World War II. At the end of the war, the communist-dominated post-war authorities refused to legalize it or permit it to operate further. Despite attempts by Varga and Barankovics, they were refused official permission to operate and take part in elections. Some of the party's founders, including Varga, were imprisoned for some days by detachments of the Arrow Cross Party. Meanwhile, some party members were saying that Barankovics conceded too much to the communist-influenced authorities in return for too little, and there was growing friction between two factions: the Christian socialist left wing led by Barankovics and the conservative-clerical right wing led by József Mindszenty's confidant, József Pálffy. The left wing gained increasing ascendancy in the party, and on 8 May 1945, Barankovics replaced Pálffy as president. The party changed its name to the Democratic People's Party (DNP), while a group led by Pálffy founded a new party called KDNP, which, however, failed to remain legal in an atmosphere of increasing Soviet influence. The 1947 elections saw the DNP finish second in the popular vote, winning 60 of the 411 seats.〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p931 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 DNP was a democratic and anti-communist organisation. In 1949, Mátyás Rákosi asked Barankovics for the party's leaders to help him in the show trial against Cardinal Mindszenty, who was still in prison yet. Barankovics refused and, abandoning his party, escaped to Austria in an American diplomat's car. Many people followed his example; others were imprisoned by communists. The party was subsequently dissolved in January 1949.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p911〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christian Democratic People's Party (Hungary)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
