Civic Response (Hungarian: Polgári Válasz) is a Hungarian centre-right to right-wing, civic conservative political party founded in 2020 by  [hu], an independent MP.

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] In February 21, 2021, another MP Tamás Sneider joined the Civic Response.[4] Currently, the party has two MPs in the Hungarian Nationaly Assembly, as well as several County Assembly members, local mayors and councillors. The party is going to run on its own ticket in the 2022 general elections, presenting its own national list and fielding individual candidates in every electoral district.[5]
