politikától

Politikától is a Hungarian word that translates to "away from politics" or "politics aside".

The phrase has become a popular slogan and rallying cry in Hungary since 2017, when a large number of citizens began to mobilize against the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Critics of Orbán's administration argue that his policies have led to a decline in democratic values and an erosion of civic freedoms, and have used the slogan to express their dissent and resistance.

In the years following 2017, "politikától" has become a widespread movement and a cultural phenomenon in Hungary, with many Hungarians using it as a way to express their disillusionment with the country's politics and to indicate their desire for change. The phrase has been emblazoned on t-shirts, stickers, and banners, and has been used in various forms of protest and expression.

While the movement is often associated with the opposition to Orbán's government, its meaning and connotations are more complex and multifaceted. Some interpret the phrase as a call for a more inclusive and participatory style of politics, free from the dominance of a single party or ideology. Others see it as a rejection of the corrupting influence of politics altogether, or as a desire for a more civic-minded and community-driven approach to governance.

Despite its associations with anti-Orbán sentiment, "politikától" has taken on a life of its own in Hungarian culture, suggesting a deep-seated desire for a more authentic, more democratic, and more humane politics.
