And are we supposed to die for them and give them all our money?
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is praying for a change of government in Hungary, because they expect a pro-Ukrainian government from the Tisza party.
We can see that the Ukrainians have entered the election campaign.
But we will not allow Hungarian money to be sent to Ukraine, and we will not let them drag us into the war.
We are working for peace and to ensure that, after April as well, the country has a Hungary-first government.
Let’s not take risks — only Fidesz is the safe choice!
Dmytro Kuleba, the former Ukrainian foreign minister, is very much praying for Viktor Orbán to be defeated, because then a pro-Ukrainian government could come to power. Now everyone is going around asking whether Orbán will answer the following question. We know exactly what they want, but we do not want that, because we know what a pro-Ukrainian government would mean for Hungary and for Hungarian families.
It would mean that Hungarian money — the money of Hungarian families — could be sent to Ukraine, and that Hungary could even be drawn into the war. This is, unfortunately, a realistic scenario in such a case.
That is why I say that we are working for Viktor Orbán to win. And those who pray should pray for this: that a Hungarian government remains in place that puts the interests of Hungarians first.
🔴 1️⃣ “Should we die for them?” – an instant fear button
This opening is not a real question, but a panic-triggering frame.
It does not talk about:
- what specific decision is being discussed
- what actual military obligation would exist
- what Hungary’s legal position is
Instead, it jumps straight to:
➡️ you
➡️ your family
➡️ death
➡️ war
This is a classic existential threat framing.
Once people feel fear, they don’t analyze — they want to defend themselves.
🧠 2️⃣ Bringing an external enemy into a Hungarian election
Mentioning Dmitro Kuleba here is not information, but a symbolic tool.
The logic goes like this:
Ukrainian politician → prays for a change of government
⬇
Tisza = pro-Ukrainian
⬇
pro-Ukrainian = against Hungary’s interests
⬇
whoever is not Fidesz = serving foreign interests
This turns the election into a loyalty test, not a political debate.
The question is no longer:
“Which economic policy is better?”
But:
“Are you Hungarian, or are you serving foreign interests?”
This is identity politics, not policy.
⚔️ 3️⃣ “They will drag us into the war” – sense of loss of control
A key word here is “drag”.
It suggests:
- you have no decision
- you have no sovereignty
- outside forces are in control
This is psychologically powerful, because people’s biggest fears include:
- losing control
- war
- their children’s future
The text bundles all of these together.
💰 4️⃣ “Hungarians’ money will go to Ukraine” – simplified financial scare
Again, there is no:
- amount
- budget line
- EU mechanism
- form of support
Only the feeling:
👉 “it will be taken from you”
👉 “it will be given to someone else”
This relies on zero-sum thinking:
if they get something → you lose.
🕊️ 5️⃣ “We work for peace” – claiming the moral high ground
Here comes one of the strongest rhetorical tricks:
It doesn’t say:
“this is how we see the strategy”
Instead it says:
we = peace
others = war
This creates a moral dichotomy:
with us → peace-loving, good person
against us → pro-war, dangerous
This shuts down meaningful debate.
🎯 6️⃣ The final goal: not to persuade, but to close the mind
The closing line:
“Let’s not take risks, only Fidesz is the safe choice”
This is a safety vs. risk frame.
Not:
- program vs. program
- data vs. data
But:
- Fidesz = safety
- everything else = danger
This is aimed at uncertain voters who are afraid of change.
🧩 In summary, what propaganda elements appear here?
| Element | Function |
|---|---|
| “we would die for them” | existential fear |
| bringing in a Ukrainian politician | external enemy |
| “drag us into war” | loss of control |
| “our money goes to Ukraine” | financial threat |
| “we want peace” | moral superiority |
| “only Fidesz is safe” | safety–risk framing |
This text is not about the real situation regarding Ukraine, but about closing thinking along:
