The Hungarian Communist Workers' Party in Hungary (Magyar Kommunista Munkáspárt in Hungarian) was born on December 17 1989, as a re-organized form of the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (MSZMP). Its chairman is Gyula Thürmer. It has always opposed capitalism, and has never been represented in the Parliament since the 1989 change of regime.
It was born under the same name as its predecessor, "Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party" and changed its name to "Workers' Party" in 1993. In the same year, a group of hardliners broke away to form the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party. It took its present name on November 12 2005 when a faction separated from it to form Workers' Party of Hungary 2006 (Magyarországi Munkáspárt 2006), led by János Fratanolo.
At the last legislative elections, on the 9th of April 2006, the party won 0.41% of the popular vote and no seats.
