👉 Anyone who thinks that the Tisza party would at least stand with Hungarians in the current tense geopolitical situation is greatly mistaken. In one and a half minutes, here is how Tisza and Brussels are working together.

And anyone who thinks that the Tisza party might come to its senses in this current situation — or if not come to its senses, then at least have a little Hungarian blood flowing in its veins — must unfortunately be disillusioned. Nothing can be expected from them that would place Hungarian interests ahead of all other interests.

In the European Parliament there was a proposal stating that all European countries should move away from all forms of Russian energy as soon as possible. From everything: oil, gas, and even the fuel elements necessary for operating the Paks nuclear power plant would be affected.

The representative of Péter Magyar voted in favor of this proposal together with all the other members of the European People’s Party. His name is clearly there, black and white, next to the vote and the proposal.

So they are continuing to work and lobby for Hungary to abandon Russian energy — energy that currently allows Hungarian families to benefit from reduced utility costs and allows the economy to function in a predictable way.

They oppose this. If Hungary were to do this immediately, fuel prices would instantly skyrocket, and household energy costs would also rise sharply. But that seems to concern them very little. Most likely their own political standing would rise in parallel, and they would receive approval and praise from Brussels and Ukraine.

It appears that this matters more to them than whether it is good or bad for the Hungarian people.

1️⃣ Enemy Construction

Excerpt

“about the cooperation between Tisza and Brussels”
“nothing can be expected from them that would stand up for Hungarian interests”

Technique

The communication divides the political space into two sides:

“we” → Hungarians / Hungarian interests
“they” → Tisza + Brussels

The Tisza party is not presented as a legitimate political opponent but as an actor serving external interests.

Goal

  • delegitimize the opponent
  • suggest that the political opponent does not represent their own country

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ there is a political camp cooperating with external forces
➡️ which works against Hungarian interests.


2️⃣ Patriotic Framing

Excerpt

“at least a little Hungarian blood should flow in their veins”

Technique

The political debate is framed not as a policy disagreement, but as a question of national loyalty.

The implied logic:

  • those who disagree with the government
  • are not truly Hungarian.

Goal

  • trigger an emotional reaction
  • morally discredit the political opponent

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the debate is not political, but a question of patriotism.


3️⃣ Economic Fear Framing

Excerpt

“fuel prices would immediately skyrocket”
“utility costs would immediately explode”

Technique

The text links a political decision directly to personal financial loss.

The communication uses a simplified causal chain:

EU decision
→ end of Russian energy
→ drastic rise in fuel and utility prices.

Goal

  • create economic fear
  • mobilize voters.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the political opponent directly threatens people’s livelihood.


4️⃣ Scapegoating

Excerpt

“they continue to work to make Hungary abandon Russian energy”

Technique

A complex geopolitical and economic issue (energy dependence) is attributed to a specific political group.

Goal

  • identify a clear culprit
  • simplify a complicated issue.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the problems are caused by a specific political actor.


5️⃣ Foreign Approval Framing

Excerpt

“they would receive pats on the head from Brussels and Ukraine”

Technique

The communication suggests that the political opponent:

  • acts in order to gain foreign approval
  • rather than acting in the interest of their own country.

Goal

  • undermine the opponent’s credibility
  • reinforce the narrative of serving foreign interests.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the political opponent works for foreign support and recognition.


6️⃣ Oversimplified Causality

Excerpt

“if we did this, prices would immediately skyrocket”

Technique

A complex energy policy issue is reduced to a single direct consequence.

In reality, energy transitions are:

  • long-term processes
  • influenced by multiple market factors.

Goal

  • create an easily understandable narrative
  • trigger a quick emotional reaction.

Effect

For the reader, the issue becomes a simple and clear choice.


Summary

The main communication techniques used in the text are:

  • enemy construction
  • patriotic emotional framing
  • economic fear messaging
  • scapegoating
  • foreign influence narrative
  • simplified cause-and-effect logic

These are classic political mobilization propaganda techniques, aimed at strengthening emotional identification with one side while weakening the credibility of the political opponent.
