→Third Hungarian Republic
===Third Hungarian Republic===
===Third Hungarian Republic===
In the late [[1980s]], Hungary led the movement to dissolve the Warsaw Pact and shifted toward multi-candidate democracy. This means that even though there were several candiates, the communist party, [[MSZMP]], was not out for dispute. However, independent candidates were elected as protest against the party. At this time, there were increasing presures for reform within the party. They also moved towards a [[Market economy|market-oriented economy]]. On [[October 23]] [[1989]], [[Mátyás Szűrös]] declared the [[Third Hungarian Republic]] and became interim President. Hungary's first [[free election]]s were held in 1990. Following the [[History of the Soviet Union (1985-1991)|collapse of the Soviet Union]] in [[1991]], Hungary developed closer ties with [[Western Europe]] as well as with other Central European countries. It became a member of the [[Visegrad Group]] in [[1991]], joined [[NATO]] in [[1999]], and became a member of the [[European Union]] on [[May 1]], [[2004]].
