The war in Ukraine is escalating: in Transcarpathia, daily power outages now last up to 18 hours.
Meanwhile, violent forced conscription continues. In recent days, numerous videos have surfaced showing the aggressive methods used by recruiters. Draft officers surround their chosen targets with overwhelming force and, without regard for methods, shove them into darkened vans.
Those who try to help people are arrested—as happened to our Hungarian compatriot who attempted to help five people escape to Hungary. The Consulate General in Berehove is providing him with all possible assistance.
War is horrific—we all know this and we all see it. That is precisely why it is so frightening to hear pro-war rhetoric from the NATO Secretary General, chiefs of staff, and EU leaders, who fantasize about deploying European troops to Ukraine.
Have you seen the situation in Transcarpathia? I mean the latest developments. I came across news reporting that power outages there are now extremely long. For most of the day, there is practically no electricity or energy, and heating is obviously extremely problematic in many places. But these are not the only shocking reports. For example, those who help people who do not want to die in this war and try to evade forced conscription are fired upon and threatened with very severe reprisals.
These two stories—just small examples among countless others—show how horrific war truly is, how tragic it can become, and that no sane person could ever wish for it to spread here as well. And yet, unfortunately, many European and Brussels-based politicians, including Tisza politicians, are pushing the country in exactly this direction. That is why how we decide in April is so important—because we are not choosing our fate for four years, but for the coming decades.
The Brussels war madness has its representatives in Hungary as well. Their captured man is here—the one they want to bring to power. Péter Magyar simply would not be able to say no to his superiors.
Since the outbreak of the war, the national government has consistently pursued a policy of peace. As long as there is a national government, we will send neither weapons nor soldiers into the war—that is why Fidesz remains the safe choice.
🧠 WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN THIS TEXT?
🔴 1️⃣ Shocking anecdotes → presented as general reality
Technique: emotional shock framing + anecdotal evidence
“18-hour power outages”
“darkened vans”
“surrounding the victims”
“anyone who helps gets arrested”
📌 Problem:
There is no:
- date
- source
- official data
- verifiable report
👉 Effect:
The brain doesn’t question—it reacts: fear, anger, empathy.
🔴 2️⃣ “There are countless such stories” – massification without evidence
Technique: unverifiable generalization
“this is just one small story among many”
📌 A classic trick:
If there are “so many,” why prove even one?
👉 Message:
“Don’t ask—this is already a settled fact.”
🔴 3️⃣ Humanitarian framing → political pivot
Technique: empathy hijacking
Start: suffering, cold, fear
Turn: “that’s why what’s being said in Brussels is so frightening”
📌 This is where emotional redirection happens:
the tragedy in Transcarpathia → European political decisions → Hungarian domestic politics
👉 There is no logical link—only an emotional one.
🔴 4️⃣ Deliberate distortion of military statements
Technique: semantic distortion + future certainty framing
NATO Secretary General
Chiefs of Staff
EU leaders
📌 Military language actually refers to:
- preparedness
- scenarios
- deterrence
📌 Propaganda translation:
👉 “they are fantasizing about deploying European troops”
This is not a declaration of war, but a discourse about defense.
🔴 5️⃣ “Those who help are persecuted” – a moral trap
Technique: moral blackmail
those who help = good
those who don’t = inhumane
those who question = insensitive
📌 Goal:
moral closure → no debate → no nuance
🔴 6️⃣ Timed election panic
Technique: high-stakes framing
“we are not deciding for four years, but for decades”
📌 Classic elements:
- the decision is fatal
- there is no way back
- now or never
👉 This is psychological pressure, not argumentation.
🔴 7️⃣ “Brussels’ puppet” – loyalty accusation
Technique: guilt by association + loyalty framing
“their captive man”
“he wouldn’t be able to say no”
“his bosses”
📌 There is no:
- concrete instruction
- document
- vote
- decision
👉 An identity-based attack, not a political debate.
🔴 8️⃣ False exclusivity
Technique: false dilemma
“As long as there is a national government… that’s why only Fidesz is the safe choice”
Message:
- either them
- or war
📌 This is not democracy, but a two-pole fear framework.
🎯 SUMMARY – WHAT IS THE REAL GOAL?
Not to:
- help you understand the situation in Transcarpathia
- give you a clear view of NATO policy
- enable a nuanced decision
But to make you feel this:
“If I don’t vote for them, there will be war.”
This is emotional coercion, not information.
