What Unites Us More than Divides Us

This report presents findings from a study by the 21 Research Center, in cooperation with Heinrich Böll Stiftung, examining political polarization in Hungary and identifying potential areas of consensus for depolarization. Using focus groups and a national survey, the research found that values such as family and freedom are widely shared, though divisions remain regarding national identity, human rights, and political discourse. Economic insecurity further deepens these divides. 

The report offers recommendations for NGOs to use shared values to promote unity, policymakers to address inequality, and future research to explore the links between economic insecurity and polarization, as well as generational differences in national identity
