👉 What’s at stake in the election is also how much money stays in our pockets!
According to Péter Felcsuti, the author of the leaked “Tisza package,” if Péter Magyar were to come to power, he would abolish utility cost reductions, the 14th-month pension, personal income tax exemptions for mothers, and “a lot of other measures introduced by Fidesz.” According to the Tisza expert, these are “nonsense.”
🟠 We, on the other hand, will protect the wallets and security of Hungarian families! This Sunday, let’s show in large numbers: Fidesz is the safe choice!
That’s why we say this election is about your wallet, because a Tisza expert has spoken and explained what he thinks about the current measures. Take a look yourselves at what, in my opinion, should be eliminated. I consider these to be the greatest nonsense.
So the question is: if there is a change of system, what will the new government be able to keep from the currently distributed benefits? Whether it’s tax exemptions for women, or the continued payment of the 14th-month pension, or whether they will be forced to cut these, scale them back, or tighten fiscal policy.
I believe that all of these measures you mentioned are, in fact, the greatest nonsense—including, for example, what you didn’t mention: utility price protection (as it is commonly called). And many other things introduced by Fidesz as well.

🔍 Influence techniques
1️⃣ Economic fear framing
👉 Excerpt:
“how much will remain in our pockets”
“they would abolish utility price cuts, the 14th month pension…”
👉 Technique:
- projects direct, everyday financial loss
- not abstract politics → immediate personal impact
👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger instant anxiety
👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t analyze → you want to protect yourself
2️⃣ Single source amplification
👉 Excerpt:
“Péter Felcsuti stated…”
👉 Technique:
- one person’s opinion → presented as an entire political program
👉 Goal:
➡️ create simple, easy-to-understand “evidence”
👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t ask:
- is this an official position?
- is it taken out of context?
3️⃣ Labeling and discrediting
👉 Excerpt:
“these are nonsense”
👉 Technique:
- not a professional debate
- but dismissive labeling
👉 Goal:
➡️ make the policies and the opponent look ridiculous
👉 Effect:
➡️ emotional reaction instead of rational evaluation
4️⃣ False simplification
👉 Core message:
“they will take it away → we will protect it”
👉 Technique:
- complex economic issues → black-and-white choice
👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify decision-making
👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop considering alternatives
5️⃣ “We are the safe choice” framing
👉 Excerpt:
“Fidesz is the safe choice”
👉 Technique:
- own side = stability
- other side = risk
👉 Goal:
➡️ preserve the status quo
👉 Effect:
➡️ you stick with what feels familiar
6️⃣ Selective quoting / distortion
👉 What happens:
- from a longer, nuanced statement
→ a part is extracted
→ and built into a narrative
👉 Goal:
➡️ create a simple, powerful message
👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t see the full context
⚠️ Bottom line
This message is not really about presenting reality in detail, but about:
➡️ creating fear (financial loss)
➡️ offering a simple enemy image
➡️ providing a sense of security in return
🧩 What you should always ask in these cases
- Is this an official program or just an opinion?
- Is this a full quote or taken out of context?
- Is there concrete evidence for the “abolition” claims?
- What alternative explanations exist?
