The aim of this article is to compare the role played by radical rightand right wing parties in opposition to the mainstream radical rightwing governments in Hungary and Poland. We analyse the roledeveloped by the parties Jobbik and Our Homeland in Hungary,while in Poland we focus on the case of Konfederacja. However,while these parties are not important considering their number ofDeputies in Parliament, they are relevant in shaping the politicalclimate. Their presence and success is part of the same right wingecosystem and conditions that sustains the mainstream radicalright. Between these parties and the government have been established different kinds of relationships that we consider as: collaboration (Our Homeland), competition from the radical right (first Jobbikand Konfederacja) and competition from the centre (second Jobbik).Revista indexada en CSA Worldwide Political Science Abstracts (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), Current Abstracts, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, OCLC, SCOPUS, Sociological Abstracts.
