Civic Circles


image by Istv�n Moln�r, 19 March 2006

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 P�pa and the Civic Circle of P�pa.
Some of the circles  have united with another circles - some made the larger union of the circles - for example the "Tisz�nt�li Polg�ri K�r�k Sz�vets�ge". The Tisz�nt�li Polg�ri K�r�k Sz�vets�ge" is the union of the cicvic circles in the Tisz�nt�l Region. Here is its flag.
Tisz�nt�l is the one of the three largest region of Hungary: Dun�nt�l (left from the Danube), Duna-Tisza-k�ze (between the rivers) and the Tisz�nt�l (right from the Tisza river).
Istv�n Moln�r, 22 June 2003

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 P�pa has a white flag with the Coat of Arms of the town and the green insription: P�PAI POLG�RI K�R. 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: 'HAJR� MAGYARORSZ�G, HAJR� MAGYAROK!', was used at first by Viktor Orb�n prime minister after the first round of the election 2002.

Those flags of Hungarian Justice and Life Party were shown on a photo from a party presentation, which was published in Serbian magazine "Evropa" (ISSN 1820-0761), issue #45 of 2005-02-17, p. 28, as the illustration of an article about activities of Hungarian extreme nationalists in Vojvodina, Serbia, who, according to the text, might have been supported by that party.
The first flag was hung from the edge of a table at which two party activists were sitting and attached to it along its top edge. It had white field, bordered with many small alternating red and green triangles, and was charged with a simplified version of the party emblem: a large white shield outlined red and charged with green monogram. On each side of the emblem, there were letters ASZTG, arranged vertically, in silver or very light gray colour, so they vere hardly visible against the white field on the photo. The text gave no clue to the meaning of those letters; perhaps they stood for a local branch of the party, whose flag it might have been.
The second flag was spread on the wall behind the table, had a different emblem on white field: a yellow shield, charged with a bit smaller red shield with three white stripes ("modified Arpad stripes"), which occupied most of the larger shield, leaving only a yellow fimbriation along its dexter and sinister sides and a larger yellow area in the chief, which was charged with the party name abbreviation in black. The smaller shield was also fimbriated in red. The flag field was bordered with larger red and green triangles than those on the first flag, looking more like the border of other party flags .

Modified flag with Arpad stripes


image by Tomislav Todorovic and Mladen Mijatov, 9 August 2006

A flag with three white stripes on red field was seen in some places in Vojvodina, Serbia, in autumn 2004, on concerts of Hungarian rock band Ka'rpa'tia, which turned into nationalist and irredentist rallies. In some texts which appeared in Serbian press afterwards and contained photos of this flag, it was said that the flag was brought from Hungary, but that it is banned there. This flag can also be seen at  <www.hvim.hu/050315.jpg>, <www.hvim.hu/040604/20.jpg> (in centre of the image, only partly visible, with an unrecognizable black emblem superimposed) and <www.hvim.hu/040604/19.jpg> (in upper left corner of the image, with a black emblem superimposed, which might be that of the Sixty-four Counties Youth Movement).   At the Hungarian Justice and Life Party site <www.miep.hu> such a flag is also shown behind the party emblem.
Tomislav Todorovic, 9 August 2006

The NY Times had a photo of Hungarians demonstrating at the anniversary of the 1956 revolt (and against the present government). A flag is shown. The dexter side of the national Coat of Arms is barry of eight red and white (the arms of �rp�d) but this flag is barry of seven.
Albert S. Kirsch, 24 October 2006

According to <rus.postimees.ee>, this is a symbolic "flag of Dinasty of Arpads", used by extremist-rights hungarian nationalists movements before WWII. The numbers of the stripes can be modified.
At <news.yahoo.com>, Mr.Zoltan Simon wrote: "...Gabor Kuncze, president of the junior coalition Free Democrats party, also questioned the presence at Fidesz rallies of extremists waving the red-and-white-striped "Arpad" flag used by Hungary's pro-Nazi government during World War II.. "Why does (Fidesz) not say during its rallies that these flags have no place there, that those protestors should get the hell out of there? What we see is not only the responsibility of Fidesz but the tactics of Fidesz," Kuncze said in parliament..."
At <horinca.blogspot.com> it is written: "One thing to notice is that these are not really Hungarian national flags. These are the red and white "Arpad Stripe" flags. Originally flown by the tenth century nomadic Hungarians, the Arpad Stripe was only revived as a symbol in 1944, under the Nazi Arrow Cross junta that took over Hungary after the German Nazis kidnapped Hungary's "not-right-wing-enough" regent Admiral Horthy. In the early 1990's skinhead groups revived the striped white and red flag. Very simply, flying it means the same as flying a swastika does in Germany..."
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 25 and 29 October 2006

According to a wire by AP (Associated Press) agency, published on 11 December 2006 by "The International Herald Tribune", the right-wing party Movement for a Better Hungary announced it would adopt the Arpad Stripes flag as its party flag.
The party claimed  it was unfair to identify the "Arpad-Stripes flag" with the former Arrow Cross Party, which killed tens of thousands of Jews in late 1944 and early 1945, because the pro-Nazi party never used it as an official symbol. "Our aim is to make the Arpad Stripes mean something different to people from their current meaning," Movement leader Gabor Vona said. "Unfortunately, it is true ... the flag has a negative connotation for most people, but we want to rehabilitate it."   "If someone waves Arpad-Striped flags in Hungary today ... they must know that they are waving a symbol of the Arrow Cross," said Balint Magyar, a former education minister and now chairman of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research.
The "Arpad-Stripes flag"  was resurrected by the Arrow Cross, led by Ferenc Szalasi, which is linked to the Holocaust, in which some 550,000 Hungarian Jews were killed. The Arrow Cross' official flag showed two double-ended arrows in a cross inside a white circle on a red background. It is banned in Hungary, along with other symbols such as the communist red star and the Nazi swastika. However, the Arpad-Striped flag in not a banned symbol. Recently, some demonstrators have used the flag in anti-government protests.
Ivan Sache, 16 December 2006

The flags of the Arrowcross Movement (1944) was red flag with the green arrowcross with or without 4 white stripes (red/white/red/white/red/white/red/white/red). The stripes were de facto banned in 1949-1989, as well as the Hungarian Coat of Arms was banned too! You know the two symbols of the 1956 revolution: The flag with hole (cut the 'R�kosi-CoA') and the Hungarian historical Coat of Arms (without the crown). After the Communism era, Hungary renewed the Coat of Arms. n the early 90s many people used the Arrowcross flag with stripes without arrowcross. Neo-Nazis used them too. Using the original �rp�d stripes is a new thing. People on demonstrations or national holidays use also many other historical flags - 1848 military flags, 1956 flags etc....
People who use these flags are not necesserally Nazis or right-wing supporters - also patriotic, liberal or conservative people use them.
