Elections are not won by those who are louder or more aggressive, but by those who persevere to the very end.
❗ By those who truly believe in what they are doing. No amount of digital activity, comments, or algorithms can replace human, face-to-face encounters.
🧡 We need every one of our old and new fellow fighters.
Together, we will win in April, because we are the majority—and we know exactly that only Fidesz is the safe choice!
Listen, there can be a digital world, there can be algorithms, there can be everything—but at the end of the day, it is you who are out there, in snow and frost, in winter and summer, who actually deliver the victory for us. No comment, no algorithm, nothing can replace that. Those things matter too, but if you weren’t there, we wouldn’t have achieved these fantastic electoral victories over the past sixteen years either.
I also believe we need to feel, from time to time, why it is that we work. Sometimes people can get lost in what surrounds us today, in that enormous noise that politics has become, when many may feel that victory depends on who can shout the loudest, the most violently, the most aggressively. But based on the experience of past elections, you know exactly that in the end, the one who wins is always the one with the greatest perseverance—the one who does not give up, who, if necessary, goes back again and calmly explains their arguments once more.
You are the ones voters see directly. You are the ones who, when someone opens the door, they do not encounter a poster or a comment, but a flesh-and-blood human being. Someone whose eyes show that they are here because they believe in what they are doing, and believe in what they are fighting for.
You are, in effect, the Prime Minister’s extended hands, his amplified voice. You are the ones who ultimately can convince voters—when they are uncertain—whether they should go out and vote or not.
🔴 1️⃣ “It’s not the loudest or the most aggressive who win” – false moral superiority
Technique: moral high ground + straw man
“It’s not the one who is louder or more aggressive who wins.”
📌 What does this do?
- It morally downgrades the opponent in advance (“loud,” “aggressive”)
- While presenting itself as calm, peaceful, and reasonable
❌ The problem:
- No one is named
- Nothing is proven
- It argues against an imaginary enemy
👉 This is not a fact, but character construction.
🔴 2️⃣ “Algorithms don’t matter” – denial of reality + identity building
Technique: anti-digital framing + purity narrative
“No comment or algorithm can replace this.”
📌 What message does this send?
- If you are active online → you are second-rate
- The “real fighter” → the one standing outside in the cold
👉 Two castes are created:
- Us = real, moral
- Them = clickers, noisy, superficial
❗ Meanwhile, ironically:
- This very speech is also distributed digitally
- Through algorithms
This is classic cognitive dissonance masking.
🔴 3️⃣ “We are the majority” – bandwagon without evidence
Technique: bandwagon effect
“Because we are the majority.”
❌ There is no:
- data
- measurement
- research
- numbers
👉 The goal is not proof, but manufacturing a sense of safety:
“If you belong to the majority, you’re on the right side.”
This is a psychological crutch for the undecided.
🔴 4️⃣ “You are the Prime Minister’s extended hands” – personality cult
Technique: leader extension + emotional binding
📌 This is one of the most extreme parts.
“You are the Prime Minister’s extended hands.”
What does this really mean?
- You are not a citizen
- You are not an independent political actor
- You are a tool
👉 Loyalty is not directed toward:
- a program
- principles
- debate
But toward a single person.
This is classic leader-centered mobilization.
🔴 5️⃣ “Sixteen years of fantastic results” – retreat into the past
Technique: nostalgia framing + sunk cost fallacy
“The fantastic election results of the past 16 years.”
📌 What does this do?
- It smooths the past into a single success story
- While silencing:
- crises
- mistakes
- failures
👉 The message:
“It worked before → keep everything as it is.”
This is not a vision for the future, but attachment to the past.
🔴 6️⃣ “Only Fidesz is the safe choice” – shutting down thinking
Technique: false dilemma + cognitive closure
“Only Fidesz is the safe choice.”
📌 This is the final objective of the speech.
It closes every question:
- no alternatives
- no debate
- no deliberation
👉 The word “safe” here is not substantive, but emotional:
- fear of change
- management of uncertainty
🧠 Overall picture – what is this speech used for?
🎯 Not to persuade
🎯 But to keep people inside the camp
🎯 And to mobilize
This is a speech that is:
- aimed at the inner circle
- loyalty-reinforcing
- question-eliminating
It is not about why it is good,
but about who you are.
