The Democratic Youth Federation of Kiskunfélegyháza (Hungarian: Félegyházi Demokratikus Ifjúsági Szövetség; Fédisz), was a local political party based in Kiskunfélegyháza, Hungary.

History

The Fédisz initially founded as an autonomous regional branch of the Hungarian Democratic Youth League (DEMISZ) in Kiskunfélegyháza, the short-lived successor organization of the Hungarian Young Communist League (KISZ). Its first congress elected physician István Garai as leader of the organization. The Fédisz's programme represented the idea of democratic socialism while rejected the rapid political and economical transformation from Communist party state to political pluralism.[1]

Soon the Fédisz transformed itself as a party to the 1990 parliamentary election. They made an electoral coalition with the local Regional Democratic Youth Alliance (Tedisz) from Kiskunmajsa, the two parties had only one individual candidate, István Garai, who received only 0.08 percent of the votes.[2] The two parties broke up shortly thereafter.[1]
