Here are my arguments for why February is going to be truly awesome!
✅ In the first half of the month, the increased minimum wage and the guaranteed minimum wage will arrive, meaning tens of thousands of forints in extra support for Hungarian families.
✅ The personal income tax exemption for mothers under 40 with two children has also come into effect, which from now on means a clearly visible increase in take-home pay. But we also value the dedicated work of fathers — they too are entitled to the doubled family tax allowance.
✅ Seniors will receive the full 13th-month pension, and the first installment of the 14th-month pension will also arrive. The national government will continue to uphold the alliance it has made with pensioners, through which we have guaranteed the real value of pensions for sixteen years.
None of this should be taken for granted. We can see the plans of the left: austerity measures and new taxes. Across Europe, so-called “war taxes” are being introduced. They would abolish the 13th and 14th-month pensions, slash family benefits, and punish Hungarians with new levies on businesses.
🟠 If we want to preserve these achievements — unmatched even by European standards — which support families, young people, and pensioners alike, we can rely only on the national government.
In an age of danger, only Fidesz is the safe choice!
So why is February such a great month? First of all, the minimum wage increases by 11%, and the guaranteed minimum wage by 7%, with the higher amounts paid out already in February. Then, for mothers under 40 with two children, personal income tax can be completely forgotten — they no longer have to pay it, which means they will receive their first such tax-free salary in February. Pensioners can also celebrate, as the first installments of the 13th and 14th-month pensions will arrive.
In February utility bills will already reflect the utility price cap, meaning the government will waive around 30% of heating consumption due to the cold weather. The family tax allowance will also increase, allowing both mothers and fathers to benefit. And we continue to stand firm: there are no migrants, we do not want to spend our money on war or send it to Ukraine, and we resist every form of war-driven madness.
🔍 1️⃣ “Good news pouring in” – blurring campaign timing
The text does not say that an election is coming. Instead, it suggests it:
“February is an awesome month”
“It’s arriving now”
“It’s becoming visible now”
👉 Technique: timed rewards
Measures are presented as gifts that are:
- partly decided earlier,
- partly inflation-following adjustments,
- partly one-off payments,
- but they land exactly during the campaign period.
This is not accidental, but deliberate emotional conditioning.
💸 2️⃣ Playing with numbers – hiding nominal vs. real value
“11% minimum wage increase”
“7% guaranteed wage minimum increase”
❌ What they do not say:
- what inflation was in the previous year,
- how much purchasing power the money lost in real terms,
- what this increase is not enough for (utilities, food, rent).
👉 Technique: numerical framing
The percentage itself becomes authority — beyond debate.
👩👧 3️⃣ Selected groups – voter targeting
“Mothers under 40 with two children”
“Pensioners”
“Families”
This is not social policy, but precision targeting:
- active voters,
- a loyal core base,
- groups with limited political mobility.
👉 Technique: targeted populism
Those left out become invisible (singles, renters, childless young people).
👴 4️⃣ “Pension alliance” – historical myth-building
“We have guaranteed value preservation for 16 years”
❌ Reality:
- pensions have lost real value,
- one-off payments are not systemic solutions,
- the 13th–14th month pension is not a sustainable structure, but a political tool.
👉 Technique: moral contract framing
The government = the caring father figure.
👹 5️⃣ Fabricated enemy bundle – fear stacking
All packed into a single paragraph:
- the left
- austerity
- war taxes
- Ukraine
- migrants
- Brussels
- Europe
👉 Technique: fear stacking
No evidence — just piling things together to create emotional overload.
There is no:
- concrete plan,
- concrete actor,
- concrete decision.
🟠 6️⃣ “Only Fidesz” – eliminating alternatives
“Only the national government can be relied on”
“Only Fidesz is the safe choice”
This is no longer an argument, but a
👉 political ultimatum
- either them,
- or chaos,
- or war,
- or austerity.
🎯 In summary – what is this really?
❌ Not information
❌ Not policy
❌ Not debate
✅ Campaign conditioning
✅ Emotional manipulation
✅ Fear + reward combined
The core message of the text is not “February will be good”, but this:
“You get money now → stay quiet → don’t ask → don’t compare → vote.”
