Summary/Abstract: Marginalization and the combination of political extremism with ethno-social conflicts can easily lead to extremism questioning rule of law and the basis of our liberal thinking parliamentary democracy. Hungary was facing many of these challenges after the political-economic transformation of 1989 and 1990. The risk of marginalization in a market economy is quite high and widening the gap among people is a still existing problem which will remain with us in the near future for sure. The last decade showed examples of dissatisfaction among certain social groups where extreme thoughts could be transformed into aggressive movements what we have experienced in Hungary following both a political crisis in 2006 and an economic depression in 2008.
