Momentum Movement is a centrist Hungarian political party founded in March 2017. It came to national prominence as a political association in January 2017 after organizing a petition about the Budapest bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, calling for a public referendum on the matter. The petition, which gathered over 266,151 signatures, was successful, but the government cancelled the Olympic bid before a referendum could have been held. After its establishment as a political party, Momentum quickly built a national following, and presently has approximately 4,000 members. Momentum party candidates appeared on the ballot in most electoral districts in the 2018 Hungarian parliamentary election, promoting the replacement of the government of Viktor Orbán and advocating a new generation of political change in the country. The party obtained 3.06% of the votes, failed to reach the 5% threshold and did not get any seats in the National Assembly. In the 2019 European Parliament election in Hungary, the party obtained 9.86% and became the third largest party in the election. Two candidates of the party – Katalin Cseh and Anna Donáth – were elected to the European Parliament. In the 2022 Hungarian parliamentary election it ran under the list of the United for Hungary and entered parliament for the first time with 10 MPs.

The Katalin Novák presidential pardon scandal erupted on 2 February 2024, when it was revealed that in 2023, President of Hungary Katalin Novák pardoned Endre Kónya, the former deputy director of the Kossuth Zsuzsa Children's Home in Bicske, who was convicted of helping to cover up the pedophile crimes of his superior by forcing one of the victims to withdraw their confession. The case caused a major public outcry, and led to Novák's resignation as President of Hungary on 10 February 2024. Shortly afterwards, former Minister of Justice Judit Varga also resigned, both from her parliamentary seat and from her role as leader of the Fidesz list for the European Parliament election. It was she who, as Justice Minister, countersigned Katalin Novák's pardon decision. Following Novák's resignation, Tamás Sulyok took an oath to become her successor on 26 February.
