Economic liberalism, or lack thereof? - A study of public opinion on equality and state spending in Hungary
In this study we present how these liberals think about the economy, to have a clear image of the economic side – or lack thereof – of Hungarian liberalism. Hungarian liberals seem to not be liberal in the economic sense. Over half of them denounce capitalism as something that needs to be dismantled completely. Hungarian liberals support govern...

The settlement is here, we are its residents - The EP elections in Budapest housing estates
Main findings of the analysis: -The housing estates used to be strongholds of the left, but in the past ten years, Fidesz has also been able to appeal to the people living here more and more -If we compare the results of the housing estates with the districts, we can see that Tisza performed slightly worse in the housing estates than in the dist...

Electoral mood after the EP elections
Hungary's first "double election" took place on the ninth of June 2024. Hungarian voters were able to vote in the European Parliament and the municipal elections at the same time. For the past 14 years, most elections have been followed by a similar process: Fidesz-KDNP won big, which resulted in a strengthening of the government parties in post...

Ringing the school bell
In the latest analysis of Republikon, we reviewed the regulation of the use and presence of smart devices, especially smartphones, in schools in some European countries and Hungary in light of the new, strictly restrictive government decree in force in Hungary since September this year. Main findings of the analysis: - Although there seems to be...

Housing or renting?
Many see Airbnb (and similar platforms for short-term rentals) as a major cause of the current housing crisis in major European cities, and as a result there is increasing pressure on local and national governments across the continent to clamp down on the short-term rental market. Most recently, the city of Barcelona announced a dramatic change...

10 percent between Fidesz and Tisza
The period ahead will be about, among other things, the transformation of the party system and planning for 2026. Two important questions arise in this context, one is who will represent the significant number of left-wing voters in 2026, and the other is whether Péter Magyar and the TISZA Party can organise themselves into a nationwide organisa...

After the low point in April, Fidesz-KDNP has slightly strengthened
"After the amnesty case and Péter Magyar's burst into the scene, Fidesz-KDNP's support was at a low point not seen for years at the end of March. A couple of weeks later, they achieved an increase within the margin of error: among the total population, the government party's voter base increased by 2 percentage points (27%), and among party vote...

There is a significant decrease in Fidesz-KDNP popularity in February
"The scandal of the pardon has damaged the popularity of Fidesz-KDNP even more than expected, more than 325,000 voters leaving Orbán's party in a month. The opposition, however, could not benefit from this crisis either, only Momentum gained minimally compared to the January survey" - Telex reported on the latest party preference survey by the R...

There are more opposition voters, but Fidesz continues to lead the polls
"The Two-tailed Dog Party has overtaken Momentum, Fidesz's popularity has continued to decline marginally, but the opposition still cannot come close to the governing parties with less than five months to go before the European Parliament and local elections," Telex reported on the latest research by the Republican Institute.  Key findings of th...

Our social media - Our news consumption habits and their impact on the 2024 election campaigns
Based on Eurobarometer and Ipsos surveys, as well as Facebook's public advertising database, our analysis examined where Hungarian voters primarily get their information, which news sources they consider the most trustworthy, and which political actors are expected to dominate the online space during the 2024 European Parliament and local govern...
