Ideology[]
The party wants to create a society based on civic virtues. They cherish Hungary's Christian cultural heritage, the nation and the family as a fundamental social institution. Instead of a nanny state, they emphasize individual responsibility and civic autonomy. The party also aims to create a strong middle-class. They also stand for freedom of speech and academic and artistic liberty. Their political creed focuses on community service and moral renewal as well.[1]
History[]
János Bencsik, a former Jobbik MP, founded the Civic Response on 4 December 2020, because Jobbik joined the electoral coalition of the left-wing opposition parties.[2][3] On February 21, 2021, another MP Tamás Sneider joined the Civic Response.[4] Currently, the party has two MPs in the Hungarian Nationally Assembly, as well as several County Assembly members, local mayors and councillors.[5]
