On the way to Debrecen, to the largest anti-war rally of the year!
When we turned toward the campaign, we still believed that the war in Ukraine was the single and main challenge facing us.
Since then, another war has broken out, which has turned the entire planet’s energy supply upside down.
Zelensky shut down the Druzhba pipeline, placing our country and Slovakia under an oil blockade.
Then he even issued a deadly threat against Viktor Orbán.
The stakes are higher than ever: Brussels and Kyiv have turned against the Hungarians and want to place their captured man, Péter Magyar, on our necks.
But whoever bites us will break their teeth on us. As long as Viktor Orbán governs, we will stay out of the war, we will not send Hungarians’ money to Ukraine, and we will say no to soaring energy prices.
On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice!
Where are we headed on Saturday? Where else? To Debrecen.
To this year’s largest DPK event. It is an anti-war rally.
We entered the campaign thinking that the war was our main and biggest problem. But has anything else happened since then? Unfortunately, yes — another war has broken out.
And that is not reassuring either, because we can see that the war situation in the Middle East is strongly pushing up the price of energy carriers.
How fortunate that we did not listen to the siren voices from Brussels and stood firm on the point that it is important for us to continue receiving cheap Russian energy.
And then there is another major problem: Ukrainian interference in the Hungarian elections. Because it can hardly be called anything else when Zelensky shuts down the Druzhba pipeline in order to try to cause price increases and chaos in Hungary and help Péter Magyar’s side come to power.
And half a year ago I would not have guessed that the Ukrainian president would threaten the Hungarian prime minister with death.
So this is what we must face until April 12: there will be two choices — a sovereign Hungarian path, or a pro-Ukrainian, pro-Brussels puppet party.
The following text is a classic campaign-style political propaganda message that combines several influence and manipulation techniques. The primary goal is not to provide information, but to trigger emotional reactions, strengthen a political camp, and mobilize supporters.
The simplified narrative of the communication
➡️ Ukraine / Zelensky = a threat to Hungary
➡️ Brussels = external pressure and interference
➡️ Péter Magyar / the opposition = a political force serving foreign interests
➡️ Fidesz / Viktor Orbán = the defender of the country
This creates a very simple “threat → protection → choice” framework.
🎭 Propaganda and manipulation techniques
1️⃣ Construction of an external enemy (external enemy framing)
Excerpt
“Brussels and Kyiv have turned against the Hungarians.”
“Zelensky shut down the Druzhba pipeline.”
Technique
👉 emphasizing an external threat
👉 personalizing a geopolitical conflict
Goal
To create the impression that
Hungary is under external attack.
Effect
Strengthens the psychology of closing ranks:
in times of crisis, voters tend to rally behind the government.
2️⃣ Scapegoating
Excerpt
“Zelensky has placed our country under an oil blockade.”
“Brussels and Kyiv have turned against the Hungarians.”
Technique
👉 simplifying complex economic and geopolitical processes
👉 assigning responsibility to a single actor
Goal
To link economic problems (energy prices, war, uncertainty)
to a clearly identifiable enemy.
Effect
People find it easier to process a crisis
if there is a specific party to blame.
3️⃣ Creation of an internal enemy
Excerpt
“They want to force Péter Magyar, their captured man, onto us.”
Technique
👉 linking the opposition to foreign interests
👉 questioning their loyalty
Goal
To frame political competition not around programs, but as
betrayal vs. defense of the nation.
Effect
Polarizes the political landscape:
the election becomes a moral issue.
4️⃣ Fear appeal
Excerpt
“oil blockade”
“chaos”
“energy prices will skyrocket”
Technique
👉 emphasizing economic insecurity
👉 presenting a vision of future crisis
Goal
To create existential fear among voters.
Effect
Fear strongly mobilizes voters.
5️⃣ Protector-leader narrative
Excerpt
“As long as Viktor Orbán governs, we will stay out of the war.”
Technique
👉 building the image of a strong leader
👉 promise of stability
Goal
To frame the political choice as a security issue.
Effect
Voters tend to choose the candidate who promises safety and stability.
6️⃣ Combative rhetoric
Excerpt
“Whoever bites us will break their teeth on us.”
Technique
👉 warlike metaphors
👉 conflict-driven language
Goal
To strengthen the image of national resistance.
Effect
Encourages emotional identification and
“us vs. them” thinking.
7️⃣ False dilemma (false choice)
Excerpt
“a sovereign Hungarian path or a Ukrainian-Brussels puppet party”
Technique
👉 presenting two extreme options
👉 excluding intermediate alternatives
Goal
To simplify the election into two opposing camps.
Effect
The political decision becomes binary.
📊 Structure of the propaganda message
The entire communication follows a classic campaign structure:
1️⃣ Building the threat
(war, energy prices, Ukrainian pressure)
2️⃣ Identifying the enemy
(Brussels, Ukraine, the opposition)
3️⃣ Presenting the protector
(Fidesz / Orbán)
4️⃣ Mobilization
(“On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice”)
✅ Summary
This communication is a highly mobilizing campaign message built on three main emotional pillars:
- fear (war, energy crisis, chaos)
- enemy imagery (Brussels, Ukraine, the opposition)
- protection (Viktor Orbán and the government)
The goal is to frame the election as a matter of national survival.
