On the weekend of January 2025, Hungarian singer, television presenter, and songwriter Majka, engaged actively in the political discourse, sparking discussions on multiple fronts.
Known formally as Majoros Péter, Majka gained fame as a reality show participant before becoming a well-known figure in Hungary's entertainment industry.
Recently, he expressed disappointment over the election of
Donald Trump as President of the United States, a sentiment he shared through a
Facebook post among his followers.
Majka's remarks on social media drew attention to his increased political engagement, highlighting the changing role of public figures in political discussion.
In Hungary, as in many parts of the world, there has been a trend of individuals extending opinions beyond their areas of expertise, leading to discussions about the impact of celebrity involvement in politics and public opinion.
This topic relates to broader observations on the influence of celebrities in political campaigns.
In the United States, high-profile individuals like singer Taylor Swift have historically backed candidates, with varying influence on voter support.
During the elections, her support for Democratic figures such as Kamala Harris was noted, yet surveys indicated limited impact on public support for the party.
Majka released a new music video depicting a fictional corrupt government leader, which he indirectly compared to political situations elsewhere, such as in the U.S. He questioned the intentions and promises made by political leaders like Trump, referencing the future peace negotiations promised during Trump's campaign timeframe.
As such events continue to unfold, the intersection of celebrity culture and politics remains a topic of international interest, as figures like Majka and others express their views on global leaders and political climates.
