The party 4K! - Fourth Republic (Hungarian: 4K! - Negyedik Köztársaságot!), often abbreviated 4K!, is a social-democratic political party in Hungary. It is led by András Istvánffy. It was formed at a Congress in April 2012, and its membership is largely drawn from a predecessor civil organization, also called 4K!.
Aims
As the name indicates, 4K! aspires to establish a new republic of Hungary, based on a restatement of values of social justice, equality and self-determination. The leadership is committed to a 'republican revolution' with the aim of returning power to the people of Hungary.
The leadership criticises both the existing right-wing Fidesz government for their approach to the working class in Hungary, while castigating the Hungarian Socialist Party for adherence to neoliberal economic policies.
The 4K! – Fourth Republic! party offered electoral alliance to the Politics Can Be Different (LMP) party. Istvánffy said the chaotic situation in the ranks of the opposition is really “a cleansing process”, which will separate those who seek to restore pre-2010 conditions and those who want “real regime change”. For starting work on a new era “bringing real change,” 4K! asks the remainder of the LMP party to form an alliance under the motto of “Alliance for a Change of Era,” he said. The alliance would define itself as an opposition to the “unfair social system of the past 20 years” and would only agree with the old leftist parties on issues serving the interests of crafting a new constitution. Istvánffy suggested that after redrafting the constitution, parliament should be dissolved and “fair elections” should follow.[1]
On 31 January 2014, the party presented its national list for the 2014 election. Istvánffy said the "4K! will be the only real new organization in the election, which is not failed politicians' attempt to return to the government."[2] On 8 February 2014, Istvánffy announced the party's election program with the title of "New Social Contract". The program includes the legalization of cannabis, removal of MPs' immunity, re-introduction of multi-rate tax system and concept of social housing system.[3]
