Our Homeland Movement (Hungarian: Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) is a Hungarian far-right political party founded by Ásotthalom mayor and former Jobbik Vice-President László Toroczkai and other Jobbik dissidents that left the organization after the party's leadership moved away from its radical roots.
History
In May 2019, it was announced the party will be forming the National Legion, a uniformed 'self-defense' group similar to the Magyar Gárda, the paramilitary wing of the nationalist Jobbik party, which was banned in 2009.[10][11]
On 14 October 2018, the party's politicians announced the party will organize a youth wing. On November 7, 2018, László Toroczkai announced to the media that 3 former Jobbik politicians, István Apáti, Erik Fülöp and János Volner (who later left) joined his political party.[12]
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.[13]
In 2019 local elections, the party managed to win 8 seats in counties' assemblies.
The party is linked to Magyar Jelen, a Hungarian nationalist biweekly newspaper.
