❗️Last night, several agitated supporters of Péter Magyar once again threatened, harassed, and tried to throw objects at and spit on the volunteers and my colleagues who are helping with the Fidesz campaign.

❗️As I already said in a previous video: if anyone has a problem with me or with the policies of Fidesz, come to me — do not act violently toward my colleagues.

🇭🇺 I am happy to talk with anyone, and I am confident that in the end we will part ways peacefully.

👍😘 We will be out on the streets again on Wednesday and Thursday.

1️⃣ Building a victim narrative

Key sentence:

“…an agitated supporter of Péter Magyar again threatened, insulted, tried to throw things at and spit on…”

📌 Technique:
Use of strong emotional language (“threatened”, “spit on”, “threw things at”) without concrete evidence.

🎯 Goal:
To create immediate sympathy and empathy toward their own side.

💥 Effect:
The viewer does not ask what actually happened, but automatically feels:

“poor guys were attacked.”


2️⃣ Scapegoating – shifting responsibility to one person

Key element:

“an agitated supporter of Péter Magyar”

📌 Technique:
Linking the conflict directly to a political leader (“Péter Magyar incites people”).

🎯 Goal:
To frame the tension not as a spontaneous event, but as the result of opposition incitement.

💥 Effect:
In the viewer’s mind a simple chain forms:

Péter Magyar → incitement
supporters → aggression


3️⃣ Generalizing from a single incident

📌 Technique:
Building a political narrative from an alleged single incident.

🎯 Goal:
To suggest that:

the opposition = an aggressive camp.

💥 Effect:
The story stops being about one situation and starts to be about an entire political group.


4️⃣ Constructing moral superiority

Key sentence:

“come to me, don’t act violently toward my colleagues”

📌 Technique:
The politician presents himself as a brave, open, and fair actor.

🎯 Goal:
To strengthen the moral position of his own side.

💥 Effect:
The viewer feels:

we = civilized
they = aggressive


5️⃣ False peace narrative

Key sentence:

“I’m happy to talk with anyone.”

📌 Technique:
Adopting a peaceful tone after describing conflict.

🎯 Goal:
To portray the politician as patient and democratic.

💥 Effect:
After the accusations, the sentence makes it seem as if:

he is the reasonable, peace-seeking side.


6️⃣ Permanent threat narrative

📌 Technique:
Portraying campaigning as a dangerous environment.

🎯 Goal:

  • to mobilize their own supporters
  • to demonize the opponent

💥 Effect:
Political competition is reframed as a security issue.


🧠 Structure of the overall narrative

The propaganda logic behind the message is:

  1. we were attacked
  2. the opposition is aggressive
  3. we are peaceful
  4. I am brave
  5. come and talk to me

This is a classic campaign victim narrative.


Summary

Balázska’s message is not primarily about informing people, but about emotional framing:

  • victim narrative
  • scapegoating
  • moral polarization
  • peace narrative

The objective:

to mobilize the Fidesz camp and portray the opponent as aggressive.
