Hardly had the Tisza Party’s new economic “expert,” István Kapitány, arrived when he was already talking about cutting Hungary off from cheap Russian energy.
By now it is clear to everyone what the former Shell lobbyist’s task is: to carry out the Brussels plan that we have been fighting tooth and nail against since the outbreak of the war, and to secure influence for Western oil giants.
So what is the Tisza strategy really about?
❌ They would endanger the utility cost reduction scheme: without Russian gas and oil, prices would skyrocket. Hungarian families would pay the price of multinational corporations’ interests and Brussels’ will.
❌ They would weaken national interests: while the Hungarian government and MOL are strengthening Hungary’s energy security through rational economic partnerships—most recently by acquiring ownership in Serbia’s NIS—Tisza’s people would once again make the country vulnerable.
❌ The pre-2010 world would return: we remember when the Ferenc Gyurcsány government sold off MOL. Now we see the same script again: they want to hand the Hungarian market over to foreign interests.
After Andrea Bujdosó, another Shell executive has now landed at Tisza in the person of István Kapitány. Surely just a coincidence…
We will not allow Hungarian families to pay the price of the war and the Brussels lobby! For us, Hungary’s energy security and affordable household energy costs come first.
On April 12, only Fidesz is the safe choice!
Why are there so many Shell-linked multinational figures around Tisza? Acceptance, diversity… the network is very strong. What do the representatives of the Dutch oil giant want in Hungary? Tisza’s new economic expert immediately spoke about cutting Hungary off from cheap Russian oil and energy. “We need to find a practical solution to this,” he said.
If the “Shell loyalists” came to power, what oil and gas would they replace Russian supplies with? We will find out. And why is this so important to them? Anyone who followed yesterday’s news knows the answer.
MOL has just purchased the Russian-owned stake in Serbia’s oil company. Thanks to maintaining rational economic relations with Russia, MOL is buying a 56% stake in the Serbian oil firm. This makes the Hungarian company an unavoidable player in the Balkans and Central Europe.
That is a major thorn in the side of the oil giants’ cartel—but this is nothing new, as before 2010, under Gyurcsány’s people, MOL was sold off. István Kapitány was sent for the same reason: to weaken Hungary’s position.
We were already fighting before the war to protect affordable utility prices in Hungary and to prevent Hungarian families from being made vulnerable to Brussels’ demands. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.
🎯 Core Function (Real Objective)
- Enemy construction: “Brussels + multinationals + Tisza = danger”
- Fear-mongering: utility price shock, vulnerability, “the cost of war”
- Internal traitor narrative: “they sent him,” “he landed here,” “he executes”
- Temporal blackmail: “the pre-2010 world is coming back”
- Closure: “Therefore only Fidesz” – no alternative
👉 The conclusion is not reached at the end; it is already fixed in the opening paragraph.
1️⃣ Personalized scapegoating (“Shell lobbyist”)
Target: István Kapitány
Labeling: “former Shell lobbyist,” “they sent him,” “executor”
🔹 Technique: poisoning the well + ad hominem
🔹 Effect: attacks the person, not the claim.
🔻 What’s missing: no quotation, no concrete decision, no policy program.
2️⃣ Conspiracy framing (“they sent him here”)
“Now it’s clear to everyone what his task is…”
🔹 Technique: conspiracy framing
🔹 How it works: passive construction → no subject → unfalsifiable
🔻 Implication: hidden power, foreign assignment, betrayal
3️⃣ Utility-price fear as an electoral weapon
“if there is no Russian gas and oil, prices will skyrocket”
🔹 Technique: false dilemma
🔹 Distortion:
- only Russian energy vs. chaos exists
- no transition, diversification, pricing logic, or timeline
👉 Utility prices are an emotional trigger, not an economic argument.
4️⃣ Appropriation of the “national interest”
Positive hero: MOL
Enemy: “multinationals,” “Dutch oil giant” (Shell)
🔹 Technique: in-group vs. out-group
🔹 Distortion:
- MOL = national, good
- everything else = foreign, bad
The mention of Serbia’s NIS is political legitimation, not professional analysis.
5️⃣ Historical scare tactic: “the pre-2010 world”
“Do we remember when the Gyurcsány government sold MOL?”
🔹 Technique: historical fear anchoring
🔹 Goal: trigger an emotional reflex
🔻 Problem: conflates past and present without evidence.
6️⃣ Repetition stacking = sense of truth
Key phrases repeated with minor variations:
- “Shell executive”
- “they sent him”
- “cheap Russian energy”
- “Brussels lobby”
- “Hungarian families will pay”
🔹 Technique: repetition bias
🔹 Effect: familiarity creates perceived truth.
7️⃣ Electoral closure (no debate)
“On April 12, only Fidesz is the safe choice!”
🔹 Technique: choice foreclosure
🔹 Message: choosing anything else endangers your family.
Binary framing:
- Fidesz = safety
- Tisza Party = danger
🧠 Summary – What’s really happening?
This text:
- does not explain energy policy,
- does not open a debate,
- does not weigh alternatives,
but shuts down thinking through emotional blackmail:
Russian energy = security
everything else = betrayal + price hikes + war
👉 A classic campaign propaganda piece, using personalized fear-mongering, an “internal enemy” narrative, and a pre-written conclusion.
