👉 If the Tisza energy plan were implemented, Hungarian families would pay 48,000 forints more per month for fuel, 31,000 forints more for gas, and 16,000 forints more for electricity.
We will not let ourselves be robbed, so let’s choose the safe option and vote for Fidesz!

Everyone should get their wallet ready and imagine taking out well over a hundred thousand forints every month just to cover the rising fuel and utility prices!

If we don’t want Hungary to be drained of its money, we need a national government!

The stakes of the election are whether we will have a national government or a pro-Ukrainian one. In April, we must decide where Hungarians’ money should go: should it be sent to Ukraine or remain in Hungary? If we allow a pro-Ukrainian government to take power, they will burden Hungary with Ukrainian war loans to such an extent that even our children and grandchildren will be paying for it.

We know they want to cut us off from cheap Russian energy as well. If the Ukrainians backing and funding TISZA succeed, then triple utility bills and 1,000-forint fuel prices will follow.

Kyiv, Brussels, and the TISZA Party must understand: we will not give our sons, we will not give weapons, and we will not give our money either!

In April, Fidesz is the safe choice.

👉 Main narrative:

  • “They’re stealing your money”
  • “TISZA + Ukraine + Brussels = loss + danger”
  • “Fidesz = protection + security”
  • “Election = financial survival + national survival”

👉 Hidden formula:

financial fear + enemy construction + simplification + repetition
→ “if you don’t vote for them → you’ll get poorer + you’ll be in danger”

🔍 What is actually happening in it?

1️⃣ Financial fearmongering (fear framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“well over 100,000 per month”, “triple utility bills”, “1,000 forint fuel”

👉 Technique:

  • large, easy-to-imagine amounts
  • specific numbers → illusion of credibility

👉 Reality:

  • no explanation of where the numbers come from
  • no model, no source

👉 Goal:

➡️ immediate anxiety
➡️ “I can’t risk this” feeling

👉 Effect:

➡️ you don’t check → you believe it

2️⃣ Enemy coalition construction (enemy coalition framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“pro-Ukraine government”, “Ukrainians behind Tisza”, “Brussels”

👉 Technique:

  • merging multiple actors into one enemy
  • combining external + internal enemies

👉 Goal:

➡️ simplify the world into “them vs us”
➡️ reduce complex politics to a single threat

👉 Effect:

➡️ you stop differentiating → everyone becomes “the enemy”

3️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Excerpt:
“Hungarians’ money goes to Ukraine or stays at home”

👉 Technique:

  • presenting only two options
  • excluding all real or intermediate alternatives

👉 Reality:

  • economic policy is not binary
  • it’s not “everything goes here or there”

👉 Goal:

➡️ simplify the decision
➡️ force a quick choice

4️⃣ Generational fear (long-term threat framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“our children and grandchildren will pay for it”

👉 Technique:

  • dramatizing long-term consequences
  • adding moral weight

👉 Goal:

➡️ guilt + responsibility
➡️ “if you choose wrong now → your family will suffer”

👉 Effect:

➡️ emotional pressure → not a rational decision

5️⃣ Brutal oversimplification of energy policy

👉 Excerpt:
“they’ll cut us off from cheap Russian energy → prices will rise”

👉 Technique:

  • complex geopolitics → one-line cause-effect
  • everything reduced to a single factor

👉 Reality:

  • energy prices depend on many variables
  • not determined by one political decision

👉 Goal:

➡️ simple (but misleading) explanation
➡️ reduce uncertainty → false sense of clarity

6️⃣ War threat injection

👉 Excerpt:
“we won’t give our sons”, “we won’t give weapons”

👉 Technique:

  • introducing direct physical danger
  • escalating from money → life

👉 Goal:

➡️ maximize fear
➡️ turn the election into a life-or-death issue

👉 Effect:

➡️ full emotional dominance

7️⃣ Fixing the solution (protector framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“Fidesz is the safe choice”

👉 Technique:

  • fear first → then “the only solution”
  • no alternatives presented

👉 Goal:

➡️ shut down thinking
➡️ automate the decision

🧠 Overall picture

This is a textbook propaganda mix, where:

  • 💰 financial fear
  • 🌍 geopolitical enemy construction
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 family + future threat
  • ⚔️ war rhetoric

are all compressed into a single message

👉 end result:

you don’t think → you want protection → you vote
