More than 1.1 million people have already filled out the National Petition, and now it can also be completed online.
Ukraine has escalated the situation, and its methods are unacceptable: President Zelensky has sent a death threat to the Hungarian Prime Minister, today Hungarian authorities intercepted a Ukrainian intelligence-linked gold convoy carrying 9 kilograms of gold and a large amount of cash, and the Druzhba oil pipeline has not been reopened for more than a month for political reasons by an ally of Péter Magyar.
Only Viktor Orbán can say no to the European Union membership of the Ukrainian mafia state, and say no to the war.
Today there will be a protest against financing the war and against Ukrainian blackmail at 4 p.m. in front of the Ukrainian Embassy.
More than 1.1 million people have already filled out the National Petition, and it can now also be completed online.
Let as many people as possible protest against financing the war and against Ukrainian blackmail.
Moreover, we can do this in person today at 4 p.m. in front of the Ukrainian Embassy, where Péter Szijjártó will also give a speech.
Let’s be there in as many numbers as possible!
The text you provided is a classic mobilization campaign propaganda message that combines several well-known communication techniques at the same time. The goal is not to present information accurately, but to trigger an emotional reaction and mobilize people in the streets.
The simplified narrative of the message is:
➡️ Ukraine = threat / blackmail
➡️ Viktor Orbán = the only defender
➡️ Petition / protest = necessary response
Below are the main propaganda techniques used in the text.
🎭 Propaganda and Manipulation Techniques in the Text
1️⃣ “Big number” effect (bandwagon effect)
Excerpt
“More than 1.1 million people have already filled out the National Petition.”
Technique
👉 bandwagon psychology / social proof
Goal
To suggest that
“everyone already supports this.”
Effect
Readers are more likely to join a cause when they feel that large numbers of people are already supporting it.
2️⃣ Construction of an enemy image
Excerpt
“Ukrainian mafia state”
“Ukrainian blackmail”
Technique
👉 demonization / enemy construction
Goal
To present an external actor in a uniformly negative role.
Effect
The reader feels anger and a sense of threat.
3️⃣ Emphasizing dramatic threats
Excerpt
“sent a deadly threat”
Technique
👉 dramatization
Goal
To extremely amplify the severity of an event.
Effect
Readers may feel that the country is under immediate danger.
4️⃣ Suspicious stories without evidence
Excerpt
“Ukrainian intelligence gold convoy”
Technique
👉 insinuation / conspiracy narrative
Goal
To introduce a mysterious corruption-related story.
Effect
The story is emotionally powerful, even if the details are not verifiable.
5️⃣ “Single solution” narrative
Excerpt
“Only Viktor Orbán can say no…”
Technique

Goal
To reduce political choice to a single option.

“Protest today… at 4 PM”
Technique
👉 mobilization

📊 The Real Function of the Communication
The text does not primarily provide information. Instead, it:
1️⃣ triggers an emotional reaction
2️⃣ defines political sides
3️⃣ mobilizes people (petition + protest)
This follows a classic campaign communication structure:
crisis → enemy → leader → action.
