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).
