After the last election (2002) when the postcommunist MSZP won
many people have found small political circles. Some of them are
liberalist, some of the have united to the Fidesz, some of them
radicalist or environmentalist or conservationist or saving the
civil rights.. For example in my town there is two civic circle:
Civic Circle of the Family Doctors in Pápa and the Civic Circle
of Pápa.
Some of the circles have united with another circles - some
made the larger union of the circles - for example the
"Tiszántúli Polgári Körök Szövetsége". The
Tiszántúli Polgári Körök Szövetsége" is the union of
the cicvic circles in the Tiszántúl Region. Here is its flag.
Tiszántúl is the one of the three largest region of Hungary:
Dunántúl (left from the Danube), Duna-Tisza-köze (between the
rivers) and the Tiszántúl (right from the Tisza river).

Civic Circle is part of Fidesz Electoral Bloc
in 2006 elections. Above is flag of an Civic Circle with the
motto of the Fidesz Electoral Bloc. The flag is one of the flags
used by civic circles. Some CC has got their own flag - for
example the Civic Circle in Pápa has
a white flag with the Coat of Arms of the town and the green
insription: PÁPAI POLGÁRI KÖR. The CC's use the tricolor with
different inscriptions. This inscription - as a motto of the CC's
- is the most common motto. The long form of the motto:
'HAJRÁ MAGYARORSZÁG, HAJRÁ MAGYAROK!', was used at first by
Viktor Orbán prime minister after the first round of
the election 2002.

The Christian Democratic People's Party (Hungarian: Kereszténydemokrata
Néppárt, KDNP) is officially a coalition partner of ruling party Fidesz, but in
reality it is a satellite party of Fidesz, and has been unable to get into the
Parliament on its own since 1994 when it barely passed the election threshold of
5% of votes. Without Fidesz, its support cannot be measured.
Its flag is white with its striped shield depicting a Latin cross and two ears
of wheat (all in gold). Around the badge a motto can be read: Cum Deo Pro Patria
et Libertate! (With God for Homeland and Liberty!) Originally it was motto of
Rákóczi's War of Independence (1703-1711).
Flag without its motto is also used.
