The Gypsy Solidarity Party (Hungarian: Cigányok Szolidaritási Pártja; CSZP), was a political party in Hungary for the ethnic Romani minority, existed between 1994 and 2003.

History

The CSZP was founded by members of the Phralipe Independent Gypsy Organization in Budapest on 14 February 1994 to contest the May 1994 parliamentary election. Romani writer and poet Béla Osztojkán, who formerly left the Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ) in 1993, was among the founding members.[1] The CSZP participated in the 1994 national election with four individual candidates, who received 0.08 percent of the votes.[2] After that the party did not contest any further elections.[3]
