The present article aims to discuss Hannah Arendt’s considerations regarding the Hungary Revolution, an event that brought to the fore the question of the urgency of thinking about new systems of government. The quest for imperialist continental dominance by Russia extended the reach of the totalitarian soviet regime to neighboring countries, which became a kind of satellite of the center in Moscow. In this context of domination, in 1956, a revolution broken out in Hungary. Although it was brutally repressed in weeks, those days were enough for the manifestations of political organizations on the part of the population that, in all its segments, from students, workers from different sectors, intellectuals, army, civilians, formed councils to discuss urgent issues. Based on this organizational initiative highlighted by Arendt as spontaneous, we will analyze what this revolution, which took place in the 20th century, has to contribute to reflections regarding political participation in public spaces and the creation of new political bodies.
