Summary/Abstract: Studying the party’s attachment, its variation within the family, highlights important differences between the young and the parents. The differences between the parents and children’s generation of political attachment can be applied through different value orientations and interests. Young people are more interested in change than their parents, they are more critical of the political environment and institutions, they value more the competition and the free economic market.In the present study, conducted on students and parents in 2017, we tested several hypotheses about the variant of youth and parental attachment. The results show that young people are mistrustful of the political environment, have a low degree of party attachment and un-crystallized political guidelines. Parents also show similar but less intense orientations.
