Balazs Orban: We Need Community Spaces Where Mockery, Destruction and Deceit Don’t Rule

“The world has changed, and if we want to preserve our values, we must reorganize what once worked within a new framework,” wrote Balazs Orban, the Hungarian Prime Minister’s political director, in a Facebook post. In his view this is why the Digital Civic Circles (DPK) were created—and he set an ambitious goal: to transform internet culture in Hungary.

The prime minister's political director concluded by encouraging people to join the Digital Civic Circles.
