🟠 Even in an age of dangers, we guarantee Hungary’s energy security.
❗We will not allow a pro-Ukraine government to be imposed on us, which is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

A weekend news report claimed that in Serbia, in Vojvodina, in the Southern Region, there was an attempt to blow up the TurkStream gas pipeline that also supplies Hungary. What do you think about that?

Well, this is a terrorist act, essentially an act of sabotage, and I believe it is very important that, in line with the Hungarian government’s decision, the Hungarian Defence Forces have already reinforced—on the Hungarian side as well—those strategic energy facilities that are essential for ensuring that we continue to receive energy safely. Due to this unfortunate event, these measures have now been stepped up even further.

At the same time, we can see that massive forces are trying to interfere in the Hungarian elections. Let’s not forget that two years ago the Ukrainians already shut off the Russian gas that was transiting through their territory. As a result, this is now our only alternative route through which gas reaches us. There is no other alternative. So if we lose this as well, we will be in serious trouble.

And it should come as no surprise to anyone that the Ukrainians are keeping us under an oil blockade. The situation is that we must be aware: in the coming days, everything will be attempted in order to replace a sovereign, pro-Hungarian government with a pro-Ukraine, pro-war government favored by Brussels.

But in the end, this is not for them to decide—it is up to Hungarian voters. So on April 12, everyone will decide whether they want a pro-war, pro-Ukraine government, or a sovereign Hungarian one going forward.

👉 Main narrative

  • “we are under external attack”
  • “energy supply = in danger”
  • “the opponent = pro-Ukraine + pro-war”
  • “we = protection + security”
  • “the election = an existential question”

➡️ core formula:
fear + energy + external enemy + simplified choice
→ “if you don’t vote for us → the country will be in danger”


🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Existential fear framing

👉 Excerpt:
“if we lose this too, we will be in serious trouble”

👉 Technique:

  • elevates energy supply to a matter of survival
  • “there is no alternative” → creates a sense of total dependency

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger immediate anxiety

👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop evaluating → you seek safety


2️⃣ External enemy construction

👉 Excerpt:
“the Ukrainians”, “Brussels”, “they are interfering in the election”

👉 Technique:

  • merges multiple actors into a single threatening bloc
  • no distinction → “they are all against us”

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a simple enemy image

👉 Effect:
➡️ simplifies the world → “us vs them”


3️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“powerful forces are trying to interfere”

👉 Technique:

  • strong claim without evidence
  • invisible, untraceable threat

👉 Goal:
➡️ maintain a constant sense of danger

👉 Effect:
➡️ everything becomes suspicious


4️⃣ False causality

👉 Excerpt:

  • pipeline attack → election interference
  • Ukrainians → energy shortage → government change

👉 Technique:

  • connects unrelated events
  • no proven causal link

👉 Goal:
➡️ construct a coherent story (narrative)

👉 Effect:
➡️ creates a “it all fits together” feeling → accepted without criticism


5️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Excerpt:
“pro-war, pro-Ukraine government” vs “sovereign Hungarian”

👉 Technique:

  • presents only two options
  • eliminates all other possibilities

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify the decision

👉 Effect:
➡️ forced choice


6️⃣ “No alternative” narrative (TINA – There Is No Alternative)

👉 Excerpt:
“this is our only alternative”

👉 Technique:

  • excludes all other solutions
  • oversimplifies energy reality

👉 Goal:
➡️ close down critical thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ acceptance → “this is the only option”


7️⃣ Protector framing (government as defender)

👉 Excerpt:
“the military has been reinforced… so we can safely receive energy”

👉 Technique:

  • government = active protector
  • military presence = sense of security

👉 Goal:
➡️ build trust

👉 Effect:
➡️ “they are protecting us”


🧩 Overall picture

This is a classic crisis-driven propaganda narrative:

threat → enemy → fear → protection → vote

And what you’re feeling (“nothing matters anymore, just push hatred”) is not accidental:

👉 this communication is not trying to inform, but
👉 trying to put you into an emotional state (fear + threat perception)
