The paper deals with the basic issues of political development of Hungarian opposition parties during the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic (CSR). Within the frame of a parliamentary democracy in CSR the whole array of political parties was active, including political associations based on the ethnic principle. Among the Hungarian community the primary role was played by the Provincial Christian Social Party (PChSP) and the Hungarian National Party (HNP). Eventually, even though they were representing primarily interests of the Hungarian population, they differed in their confessional orientation, but also in their ability to gain support of voters outside the Hungarian community. PChSP, which represented itself as a strictly Catholic Party, was able to attract preferences of a segment of Slovak Catholics. On the other hand, the Hungarian National Party could count on votes of certain number of members of the Jewish minority. The both parties differentiated also in their approach to ruling coalition. Whereas MNS was pursuing a policy of opposition in some circumstances it was open to cooperation with government if its demands aimed at improvement of the status of Hungarian community would be met, the PChSP was a priori against any cooperation with government. Till their unification both Hungarian opposition parties were active as autonomous political associations. A dramatic development of political situation at the end of 1938 resulted in a radical change of the status of the Hungarian political opposition as well as Hungarian population. On the basis of Vienna Arbitrage from 2 November 1938, a sizeable part of the Southern Slovakia, where the majority of members of the Hungarian minority lived was annexed by Hungary.

The status of Hungarian minority has changed after the formation of Czechoslovak Republic. Attitudes of Hungarian inhabitants who lived in Slovakia were not constant to Czechoslovak Republic. They changed under influence of political progress. In Slovakia existed two major Hungarian parties - Orszagos Keresztenyiszocialista Part and Magyar Nemzeti Part, besides them there were some minor parties. The Orszagos Keresztenyiszocialista Part and Magyar Nemzeti Part co-operated with the Zipserdeutsche Partei. The Zipserdeutsche Partei during its existence was part of them. Co-operation between these parties (Hungarian parties and Zipserdeutsche Partei) was realized through the election coalitions in 1929 and 1935. Sometimes they organized the Congresses of opposition parties. Hungarian parties still attacked and criticized the situation in Czechoslovakia and pointed to the dissatisfaction with the situation of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia.
