Here’s the big political celebrity map of Blikk, see who you are!

• In recent days, several domestic celebrities have openly expressed their opinion on public and political issues

• The expression of artists in Hungary is more risky than in other more liberal societies and can have financial consequences

• Celebrities can greatly contribute to shaping social discourse, but they often reinforce existing opinions

What happens? In recent days, a series of pop musicians have been manifested on public issues. As the choice approaches, the roughness of public life, the highlights of highly controversial steps – transparency lawsharp party fights, spy – Apparently celebrities feel, they have to manifest. The avalanche was launched this time by Caramelwho did not hide his opinion at last weekend concert when he said: « The truth is, even if we are saliva, we could come together. I could have come from a Gypsy settlement, I would have come from Szeged, we would still be together and we are one. Vote for anyone, believe in anything, never believe that we do not belong. Let anyone speak and stand on the platform in front of the people. ”

The words of musicians were also taken on by politics: first Péter Hoppál former Secretary of State for Culture “Who drinks the water of the Tisza, drinks its own water ” with a sarcastic text and reacted with a common picture to say Caramel and then in the last round of the message to the pro -government Civil Covenant Forum was followed:

« Thank you to Majka, Fudge and others for sincerity. We just say that without you! » – The Familiar Faces Orchestra has referred to a kind of pro -government anthem.

Following Caramel, more musicians played in turn: David Marshaló from the dead money or just Kiss Tibi from Quimby He also talked about public life and hopeful reconciliation this weekend.

Political expression has a limited tradition in domestic public life, at least in that a resolution or stance can be struck differently, such as in this respect In the United States. There, the stars to support a political side is a completely ordinary case. Of course, it doesn’t matter how much market they do, as world-renowned musicians and artists are not threatened by an existential danger if they are not invited to some places due to a scratchy political statement, or even give up some village day action … However, this can be a serious loss of revenue.

Have a serious effect

– Especially in societies where political competition is very intense, where society is very polarized, artistic life, scientific life, even the celebrity world are more likely to stand up to a political camp, a party, or a candidate. I believe they can have an impact just as much as flu can have a serious impact on thinking of certain social groups – told Blikk János Kovács, a political analyst. In his view, it is unlikely to change someone’s commitment to political actors or questions. However, they can be attached to existing attitudes, sympathies, and resentment.

– In this sense, they may have a role in mobilization. Many may think that a given public figure or what he says is sympathetic. Abroad, it is a more well -known concept when someone shape public mood and public discourse in a sense. They have an effect but I think it is limited and it may reinforce existing affection Said the political scientist.

To our question, how much popularity, talent, recognition, expert said:

– It is a very important aspect of how many people can reach directly or indirectly, how much of their communication channels, the media appearance, or even his actions can reach the camp. It is also important how much he is happy to be honored, and what performance and artistic value has been able to exhibit on his or her career. This basically determines how successfully these actors can influence the public by publicly declaring their sympathy.

We asked domestic stars about their political affiliation

Róbert Koltai:

« I was primarily manifested and featured in the so -called opposition movements as an artist. From László, I agree with every word, and then, another time on Elizabeth Bridge, I rejoiced to the Greetings of Attila József Thomas Mann, the last lines. I knew the organizers of the moves, I was honored to be thinking about me, but I was cheering for the continent.

Great Feró:

« I don’t care if someone disagrees with me or writes stupid in their comments. I never conceal my conviction, I believe that musicians, artists have to stand up for what they believe, whatever it is. For example, I know, In comments.

Victory:

« Since we are now in big cooking projects and cookbooks, let me start with a cooking example !! Look, I always say whoever sits with a full belly at the table, don’t start scolding the cook afterwards! In my reality shows, they are ashamed of those who are now in the face of the fact that if they have been splashed again, they have somehow splashed. I have a straight, rural, honest Hungarian man, I don’t bite in the hands of the circus! Complaints! ”
