Dialogue for Hungary (Hungarian: Párbeszéd Magyarországért, Párbeszéd) (also known in its shortened form Dialogue since September 2016), is a Hungarian green liberal political party formed in February 2013 by eight MPs who left the Politics Can Be Different (LMP) party.
The LMP party had formed a coalition with the Together 2014 party; together, they won four seats in the national assembly and one seat in the European Parliament. Dialogue for Hungary has taken one seat from the four in the Hungarian parliament and has one representative in Brussels.
On 24 August 2016, spokesperson Bence Tordai announced that the shortened form of the party's name would change to "Dialogue".[1] In September 2016, the party's logo was changed to Párbeszéd (Dialogue), with "Hungary" removed.
