Digital Civil Circles

Digital Civil Circles (Hungarian: Digitális Polgári Kör or Digitális Polgári Körök, abbreviated DPK) is a Hungarian community and social initiative established in 2025. Its stated purpose is to connect and organize people who hold conservative and civic values within the digital space. The initiative was announced by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in his 2025 Tusványos speech. Among its objectives is support for preserving and representing Hungarian culture, language, and identity online. The initiative operates through a network of thematic online communities called "circles" (körök). Members can join circles that match their interests, with categories ranging from sovereignty protection, family and child protection, sports, business, and health to environmental and animal protection, science and AI, and diaspora outreach. The official website describes the effort as a "digital civil force" and frames it as a duty for the current generation to wage a "digital freedom fight" to protect culture, language, and identity in the online world. Digital Civil Circles is not a conventional commercial brand or company; it is a political and civic organizing platform. Its "product" is membership in online communities, and its brand identity is tied to Hungarian national and conservative values. The initiative is associated with a group of public figures listed as founders, including politicians, athletes, artists, journalists, and academics. It has no known commercial products, retail operations, or publicly traded status. The project is primarily active in Hungary and among Hungarian-speaking communities in the Carpathian Basin.
