Thank you for the support of Péter Szijjártó! Together, we will make it happen! Together, we will make North Pest great!

Thank you very much for supporting my friend Balázs. Residents of Káposztásmegyer, Újpalota, and Rákospalota, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó! By honoring us with his presence here during the campaign—and just a few weeks ago the Prime Minister was also here—I want to demonstrate to everyone that together we truly intend to put North Pest on a path of growth over the next four years. This is also a personal mission for me, and I want to prove that even in a constituency that everyone has written off—because it’s Budapest, because it’s left-leaning, because they say Fidesz-KDNP can never win here—the right can indeed win here as well on April 12. We have an extremely strong offer for the country, and for North Pest too.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I greet you! Thank you very much for coming! Thank you very much for supporting my friend Balázs! Thank you for standing by him and for standing by the belief that the North Pest region can and must be set on a path of growth!

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Strong political backing behind us (Szijjártó + Orbán)”
👉 “This is a shared mission (we together)”
👉 “A written-off district → now we turn it around”
👉 “We have a great offer → that’s why we can win”
👉 “Mobilization: now is the time to unite”

➡️ Classic formula:
authority + community + underdog-to-winner + mobilization


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Authority transfer

Excerpt:
“Szijjártó Péter… the Prime Minister was here as well…”

Technique:

  • projecting high-ranking politicians onto the candidate
  • transferring status and power

Goal:
➡️ legitimize Balázs
➡️ “if they support him → he must be serious”

Effect:
➡️ reinforces undecided voters
➡️ activates hierarchical thinking


2️⃣ Collective identification (“we”-language)

Excerpt:
“We will do it together”
“we want this together”
“thank you for your support”

Technique:

  • constant use of “we”
  • building a shared identity

Goal:
➡️ individual decision → collective cause
➡️ “if you’re not with us → you’re outside”

Effect:
➡️ increases loyalty
➡️ reduces critical thinking


3️⃣ “Written-off district” narrative (underdog framing)

Excerpt:
“everyone wrote it off… Budapest, left-wing…”

Technique:

  • dramatizing a hopeless situation
  • framing it as “everyone is against us”

Goal:
➡️ emotional engagement
➡️ “let’s prove them wrong”

Effect:
➡️ mobilization (especially core supporters)
➡️ sense of mission


4️⃣ Promise of breakthrough (optimism + no specifics)

Excerpt:
“we will put North Pest on a growth path”
“we have a really great offer”

Technique:

  • positive promises without concrete details
  • buzzwords (growth, offer)

Goal:
➡️ generate positive emotions
➡️ mask lack of real program

Effect:
➡️ voters project their own expectations into it
➡️ harder to hold accountable


5️⃣ Repetition (mantra effect)

Excerpt:
“Thank you… thank you… thank you…”

Technique:

  • repetition of key phrases
  • building emotional rhythm

Goal:
➡️ fix a positive mood
➡️ create connection with the audience

Effect:
➡️ increased sympathy
➡️ criticism fades into the background


6️⃣ Personal mission narrative

Excerpt:
“this is a personal mission for me”

Technique:

  • turning political goals into a personal story
  • simulating authenticity

Goal:
➡️ emotional identification
➡️ “not a politician, but a human”

Effect:
➡️ increased trust
➡️ reduced rational evaluation


7️⃣ Local targeting (micro-targeting)

Excerpt:
“people of Káposztásmegyer, Újpalota, Rákospalota”

Technique:

  • addressing specific local groups
  • “I see you” effect

Goal:
➡️ create direct connection
➡️ strengthen local identity

Effect:
➡️ higher engagement
➡️ more personal connection


⚙️ Strategic Overview

This is not a policy speech. It is:

👉 legitimization + mobilization + emotional framing

What’s missing:

  • concrete measures
  • numbers
  • real program

What’s present:

  • authority (Orbán, Szijjártó)
  • collective language (“we”)
  • emotional charge
  • promise of victory

🎯 One-sentence summary

➡️ This is a classic campaign-launch propaganda: a combination of top-down power display and bottom-up emotional mobilization, without substantive content.
