Let’s protest against making us pay for the war!
The Ukrainian prime minister is demanding an enormous amount of money, €800 billion, which would mean that every Hungarian family would have to fork out 1.3 million forints. Let’s have no doubts about it: the money paid to Ukraine would be missing from the pockets of Hungarian people.
👉 If Hungary had a government serving Brussels, all of this money would go to the war. But as long as there is a national government, we say no to these demands.
🟠 That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!
Szandra, why did you think it was important that as many people as possible sign the petition so that we are not made to pay for the war? Because this is a real and valid issue that is on the table. We have seen in recent days and weeks that there has been talk of a so-called war loan, which, fortunately, Hungary managed to stay out of.
The €800 billion demanded by the Ukrainian prime minister—and this does not even include military spending—is an enormous amount of money. This would mean 1.3 million forints per Hungarian family. Let there be no doubt: that money would be missing from us, from our own resources. There is no such thing as free money. The money sent to Ukraine would also be taken from us, from our own pockets.
And then we could forget about family support programs, pension increases, and many other things that currently provide us with security and stability. It must also be seen that if Hungary ends up with a government that bows its head the way Brussels demands, then all of this money would go to Ukraine.
So this will also be one of the key issues of the election in April, and that is why it is important for us to raise our voices and say a very firm no to this insane idea.
🎯 Core Function (Real Objective)
The purpose of the text is not to factually present Ukraine-related financial plans, but to:
- generate existential fear (“every Hungarian family will pay”),
- construct an external enemy image (Ukraine + Brussels),
- apply internal political coercion (“if it’s not us, you will lose”),
- pre-emptively lock in the electoral choice.
👉 The conclusion is not drawn at the end, but is already fixed at the beginning:
Fidesz = protection / Anyone else = financial ruin.
1️⃣ “€800 billion” – numerical shock therapy
🔹 Technique: number shock + proportional distortion
🔹 How it works:
- A brutally large aggregate figure is dropped (€800 billion),
- then it is directly but falsely personalized:
→ “every Hungarian family = 1.3 million HUF”.
🔹 The problem:
- there is no decision,
- no approved mechanism,
- no national quota,
- no legal obligation.
👉 The number functions as a psychological weapon, not an economic fact.
2️⃣ “It would come from us” – false causal chain
🔹 Technique: false causality
🔹 Claim:
“The money that would go to Ukraine would be missing from us.”
🔹 Reality:
- EU financial mechanisms do not work this way,
- a public budget ≠ a household wallet,
- financial support ≠ immediate direct payment.
👉 The listener does not evaluate — they start to fear loss.
3️⃣ “You can forget family benefits” – coercive framing
🔹 Technique: false dilemma
🔹 Message:
- EITHER Ukraine,
- OR pensions, family support, security.
🔹 Effect:
- moral blackmail,
- social anxiety,
- “whoever chooses differently, loses.”
👉 A classic authoritarian electoral frame.
4️⃣ “A Brussels-serving government” – internal enemy construction
🔹 Technique: internal enemy framing
🔹 How it works:
- not a policy debate,
- but a loyalty test.
👉 The choice is no longer political, but a moral oath of allegiance.
5️⃣ Petition – the illusion of participation
🔹 Technique: pseudo-participation
🔹 Real function:
- emotional commitment,
- “whoever signs has already decided,”
- campaign mobilization.
👉 Not decision-making, but psychological fixation.
6️⃣ Summary – what is actually happening?
This text is:
- not an economic analysis,
- not a foreign policy debate,
- not a legal assessment.
It is a campaign-closing propaganda unit, whose core message is:
“If you don’t vote for us, your money will be taken.”
Here, “war” is not an event, but a rhetorical instrument.
