Most–Híd 2023 (Slovak: [ˈmɔst ˈɦiːt]; Hungarian: [ˈmost ˈhiːd]; from the Slovak and Hungarian words for "bridge") is an inter-ethnic political party in Slovakia. Its programme calls for greater cooperation between the country's Hungarian minority and ethnic Slovak majority. It was one of four parties in the Fico III government coalition, but lost all its seats in the National Council in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election.
The party was formed in June 2009 by dissidents from the Party of the Hungarian Coalition (SMK-MKP), which they accused of being too nationalistic. Most–Híd seeks to offer an alternative to ethnic politics by promoting inter-ethnic cooperation. Led by the SMK-MKP's former chairman Béla Bugár, the party claimed to have an electorate that is two-thirds ethnic Hungarian and one-third ethnic Slovak. The party remerged with SMK-MKP into a smaller Hungarian minority party (MKÖ-MKS) in late 2021 to form the Alliance, before leaving and joining the party The Blues – European Slovakia, which was named Modrí, Most–Híd for the parliamentary election in 2023.
