What on earth is this man talking about?!
Zelenskyy has been obstructing Hungary’s energy supply with an oil blockade for weeks, and now he even expects us to say thank you.
It is equally outrageous that the Commission represents Ukrainian interests instead of the interests of the Member States. Not a single word of support for us over the past month; they have not condemned Zelenskyy’s political pressure tactics.
In reality, there is nothing new under the sun. Brussels is happily assisting the alliance between TISZA and Ukraine. Together, they have repeatedly made it clear that they would cut our country off from cheap Russian energy in order to make Hungary dependent on Shell and the other oil multinationals.
We Hungarians want no part of this. As long as there is a national government, affordable utility prices will remain, and we will resist blackmail. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.
“Let’s thank Zelenskyy nicely, be grateful!” Give me a break! Are we really supposed to thank them for something they are contractually obliged to do, which they are now refusing to reopen? What are we even talking about? This has to stop!
I also find it deeply outrageous what the Union is doing in this situation — that von der Leyen and her circle are not defending the Member States, not standing up for Slovakia and Hungary, not taking our side, but instead siding with the Ukrainians.
At least it is now much clearer to everyone what is happening ahead of the April elections. The Brussels–Kyiv–TISZA axis has lined up against us.
1️⃣ Organizing an External Enemy Bloc
Actors placed on the same axis:
- Zelensky
- Brussels
- “TISZA”
📌 Technique: Coordinated conspiracy narrative.
🎯 Goal: Elevate a domestic political dispute into a national security threat.
💥 Effect: Voters stop thinking about energy contracts and instead experience a sense that “we are under attack.”
2️⃣ Contract vs. “Gratitude” – Moral Outrage Framing
Core argument:
“We should not be grateful for something they are contractually obliged to provide.”
📌 Technique: Turning a legal issue into a moral offense.
🎯 Goal: Provoke indignation.
💥 Effect: The technical and professional aspects of the issue fade into the background.
3️⃣ Existential Threat Framing
Key messages:
- “They would cut our country off from cheap energy.”
- “Blackmail.”
- “An axis against us.”
📌 Technique: Survival-based framing.
🎯 Goal: Transform the election into a referendum on energy security and household utility protection.
💥 Effect: Emotion-driven decision-making.
4️⃣ False Dilemma
Structure:
- Fidesz = cheap utilities, protection
- Opposition + Brussels + Ukraine = expensive energy, vulnerability
📌 Technique: Black-and-white simplification.
🎯 Goal: Eliminate middle-ground alternatives (e.g., diversification, alternative routes, market-based pricing).
📌 What Is the Core Question, Actually?
Beneath the emotional layer, there are three concrete professional questions:
- Is there an actual transit restriction, and on what legal basis?
- What alternative routes are available (e.g., the Adriatic pipeline)?
- Is this primarily political pressure, or a contractual dispute?
These questions are answered by documents, contracts, and concrete quantitative data — not by campaign slogans.
