Chaos and a fuel crisis were what Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Péter Magyar wanted to achieve. They will not succeed. The protected price has come into effect!
Here on the display you can already see the protected price: 5.95 for petrol and 6.15 for diesel. Let us not forget that the original plan of Zelenskyy and Péter Magyar was for fuel prices to rise above 1000 HUF per liter, in order to create chaos and bring down the national government.
On top of that came the Middle Eastern crisis and the war involving Iran. But with this protected price, both attacks have been successfully countered: the risks stemming from the global energy crisis and the Tisza–Zelenskyy attack as well.
From today onward, a protected price is in force at fuel stations.
1️⃣ Enemy Construction
Excerpt
“Zelensky and Péter Magyar wanted to create chaos and a fuel crisis.”
Technique
The text links two actors:
foreign leader → Zelensky
Hungarian opposition politician → Péter Magyar / Tisza
This creates a combined enemy image:
➡️ foreign actor
➡️ domestic political opponent
Purpose
to delegitimize the opponent
to suggest that they are working together with external interests against Hungary
Effect
The reader may develop the feeling that:
➡️ “someone is deliberately trying to harm the country.”
2️⃣ Attribution of Intent Without Evidence
Excerpt
“their original plan was for fuel prices to go above 1000 forints”
Technique
The text attributes a specific intention to political opponents but does not present:
a decision
a mechanism
a document
a concrete action
through which they could actually achieve this.
Purpose
to portray the opponent as malicious or harmful actors.
Effect
The reader may feel that:
➡️ “they deliberately wanted to ruin the country.”
3️⃣ False Causality
Excerpt
“Because of Zelensky and Péter Magyar, fuel prices would go above 1000 forints.”
Technique
The text establishes a direct causal link between two things:
politicians
fuel prices
In reality, fuel prices are mainly determined by:
global oil prices
refining costs
taxation
exchange rates
geopolitical conflicts
Purpose
to give a simple explanation for a complex economic phenomenon.
Effect
➡️ a complicated economic process becomes a political story.
4️⃣ Achievement Framing
Excerpt
“the protected price has entered into force”
Technique
The communication constructs a problem → solution narrative:
enemies attack
danger of chaos
the government protects the country
Purpose
to present the government as a protector.
Effect
➡️ government = stability
➡️ opposition = chaos
5️⃣ Crisis Stacking
Excerpt
“Middle Eastern crisis, Iranian war”
Technique
The text connects several different events:
Middle Eastern conflict
global energy market
Ukrainian politics
Hungarian opposition
This creates the image of a large, multi-front attack.
Purpose
to amplify the perceived threat.
Effect
➡️ the situation appears more severe.
6️⃣ “We Protected the Country” Narrative
Excerpt
“we managed to fend off the attacks”
Technique
The political communication portrays the government as a defensive force protecting the country.
Narrative structure:
➡️ enemies attack
➡️ danger emerges
➡️ the government protects the country
Purpose
to create a sense of security among supporters.
Short Logical Issue
There is a contradiction in the text.
It simultaneously claims that:
1️⃣ the fuel price increase is caused by Zelensky and Péter Magyar
and
2️⃣ it is influenced by a global energy crisis and the Middle Eastern war.
These are not the same explanation.
Summary
The main communication elements of the text are:
1️⃣ enemy construction (Zelensky + Tisza)
2️⃣ attribution of intent without evidence
3️⃣ false causality
4️⃣ government as “protector”
5️⃣ crisis stacking
The result is a simple political narrative:
➡️ “enemies want chaos”
➡️ “the government protects the country.”
