“Your blood will flow into the Danube sooner than oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline.”
👉 Are you also fed up with the threats? Then come to the Peace March!
As the elections approach, various forms of Ukrainian blackmail have become an everyday occurrence. Analysts, soldiers, and even Zelenskyy himself have threatened the Hungarian Prime Minister and, with him, the whole of Hungary with the taking of his life. These threats must be rejected in the strongest possible terms.
❗ We are not simply facing a vote now — we are choosing our fate and our future.
If the national government remains, we can continue to stand up for Hungarian interests and for the peace of our country. That is why we must show strength this Sunday.
Now everyone is needed — our place is at the largest Peace March ever held.
“Our blood will sooner flow in the Danube than oil through the Druzhba pipeline,” said this notorious Ukrainian lieutenant general.
This is the kind of message the Ukrainians — the allies of Péter Magyar — are sending us.
But we will not bow to blackmail, and we are not afraid of threats.
We will continue to stand up for Hungarian interests — that is why so many of us will be there on Sunday at the largest Peace March ever.
1️⃣ Quoting a shocking threat (fear appeal)
Excerpt
“Your blood will flow into the Danube sooner than oil will flow through the Druzhba pipeline.”
Technique
The communication opens with an extremely violent and shocking sentence.
Such quotes are intended to trigger an immediate emotional reaction from the reader.
The method
- dramatic quotation
- violent imagery
- a threat directed at the nation
Goal
➡️ to provoke shock and fear
➡️ to present the political conflict as an existential danger
Effect
The reader may begin to think:
- “Hungary is being threatened”
- “we must defend ourselves”
This is classic fear framing.
2️⃣ Constructing an external enemy (external enemy framing)
Excerpt
“Ukrainian blackmail”
“Zelensky threatened the Hungarian prime minister with death.”
Technique
The communication identifies a foreign enemy:
- Ukraine
- Zelensky
- Ukrainian military leaders
The conflict is therefore framed not as domestic politics, but as a matter of national defense.
Goal
➡️ to frame the election as national self-defense
➡️ to delegitimize criticism of the government
Effect
Readers may come to believe:
- “foreign actors are attacking us”
- “we must close ranks”
3️⃣ Linking the internal enemy to the external one (traitor framing)
Excerpt
“This is the message the Ukrainians are sending us through the allies of Péter Magyar.”
Technique
This is a very strong propaganda pattern:
external enemy
+
connection to domestic opposition
The opposition is therefore presented not as a political rival but as a representative of foreign interests.
Goal
➡️ to discredit the opposition
➡️ to construct a betrayal narrative
Effect
Readers may start to think:
- “the opposition serves foreign interests”
- “nation vs. traitors”
This is internal enemy framing.
4️⃣ National destiny narrative (existential framing)
Excerpt
“We are not just facing a vote — we are choosing our fate and our future.”
Technique
The election is presented as an existential historical decision.
Key words
- fate
- future
- nation
- peace
Goal
➡️ to maximize the perceived stakes of the election
➡️ to emotionally mobilize voters
Effect
Readers may feel:
“everything will be decided now.”
5️⃣ Bandwagon effect (bandwagon mobilization)
Excerpt
“Our place is at the biggest Peace March ever.”
Technique
The communication suggests that:
- everyone will be there
- a historic crowd is expected
This is the classic bandwagon effect.
Goal
➡️ to increase participation
➡️ to create social pressure
Effect
Readers may think:
“If everyone else is going, I should go too.”
6️⃣ Repetition for reinforcement (message reinforcement)
The text repeatedly emphasizes:
- threats
- blackmail
- standing up
- not being afraid
- Hungarian interests
Technique
Repetition increases the perceived credibility of a message, even when no new information is added.
This is one of the most common tools of propaganda.
7️⃣ Heroic resistance narrative (hero / resistance framing)
Excerpt
“We are not afraid of threats.”
“We will stand up.”
Technique
The political camp is portrayed as heroically resisting pressure.
Structure
enemy → threat → brave resistance
Goal
➡️ identity building
➡️ strengthening group pride

Main techniques
- fear-inducing quotation
- construction of an external enemy
