The upcoming election is not just about the next four years. In an age of dangers, careful decisions must be made — this is not the time for experimentation. Since 2015, we have consistently rejected Brussels’ migration plans; from the very first moment the war broke out, we have emphasized the importance of peace; and from the beginning we have supported Hungarian families, pensioners, and young people alike. We must not take risks — we must stay on the Hungarian path! On April 12 as well, Fidesz is the safe choice!
I honestly believe that this will be an election where, if we make a mistake now — and unfortunately Hungarian history has often had moments when, at the time, people did not necessarily feel they were making history, but in hindsight everyone knew that that generation, those people, had decided something — whether in political life or in society, they made history. And I think this will be one of those elections, even if many do not feel it right now.
Everyone should think about this when they mark the X on the ballot, or when they talk to someone about politics and argue their case: every single ink mark, every single word spoken, can tilt things one way or the other, like a grain of sand on the two sides of a scale. Migration cannot be undone, war-related decisions cannot be undone, and gender issues — which we haven’t even talked about yet, though I think they are very important — cannot be undone either. They cannot be reversed.
This is not about four years. It is not about who will give the March 15 speech. It is about whether what happens in Hungary is what is good for us — or what is dictated from Brussels. And I would be very, very afraid for ourselves and for the next generations if we were to move in the latter direction.
🎯 Central Narrative
“This is not an election, but a historic turning point: either Fidesz = security, or Brussels = doom.”
The purpose of the speech is not to encourage consideration, but to emotionally prevent the idea that the choice is “merely” between political alternatives.
🔧 Techniques Used
1️⃣ Historical Pathos and Generational Pressure
“people did not necessarily feel at the time that they were making history”
🔹 Technique: elevation through historical grandeur 🔹 Effect: – anyone who chooses differently is placed on the wrong side of history – the moral weight of the decision is exaggerated
👉 Trick: no concrete historical parallel is given, only suggestion.
2️⃣ False Exclusivity (False Dilemma)
“either what is good for us happens, or what is dictated from Brussels”
🔹 Technique: binary trap 🔹 Effect: – political pluralism disappears – every opponent automatically becomes “Brussels’ agent”
👉 Trick: no third option, no nuance.
3️⃣ Fear Stacking (Stacked Fear)
migration + war + gender = irreversible catastrophe
🔹 Technique: accumulation of threats 🔹 Effect: – constant anxiety – rational evaluation is shut down
👉 Trick: repeating “it cannot be undone” acts as a psychological lock.
4️⃣ Moral Blackmail Through Individual Action
“every ink mark… every single word”
🔹 Technique: individualized responsibility 🔹 Effect: – voters can be blamed personally for the future – pressure on conscience
Well, because you could eat it. You could eat it. But not you ate it — Orbán ate it, but you could eat it. But wait, what happened, what happened was that Viktor Orbán and his people threw a bigger-scale thing together, obviously still before the election, before the big collapse, and they thought they’d splash out a bit, loosen the purse strings. All of this according to Hadházy. All of this according to Hadházy, yes, of course — but we do believe what Hadházy says.
And what happened was that if we crash hard in April, then we’ll even go to prison, so at least we should eat something good next to his son — but what should we cook? And since Viktor Orbán is a traditional man, he sticks to household-style matters.
Instead of a pig slaughter, that’s what they held. They went out onto the terrace, and then they saw, well, there’s chicken, there’s pig — and then right on the snowy hillside a zebra ran across in the background. And they said: zebra. And then that’s a kind of specialty, a kind of gastronomy, so let’s eat zebra.
And I don’t know exactly how, but I suppose they borrowed Ákos Hadházy’s quad bike. I imagine Viktor Orbán in some kind of WESCO boots, catching this zebra with a lasso. Well, not that — with the armored vehicle he… the security guard. They lassoed the zebra, caught it, burly men pinned it down, and then there was a zebra slaughter.
And then they🎯 Core Function
This is not factual reporting, but caricature. It distorts political accusations into grotesque imagery (“zebra slaughter,” “lassoing a zebra”) in order to:
trivialize allegations of corruption or moral wrongdoing,
mentally exhaust the audience,
and make those who take the accusations seriously appear laughable.
🔧 Techniques Used
1️⃣ Absurd Exaggeration (reductio ad absurdum)
Real or alleged criticisms are pushed to such an extreme that they become ridiculous:
pig slaughter → zebra slaughter
corruption → exotic feast
👉 Message: “If you believe this, you’ll believe anything.”
2️⃣ Ironic “Validation”
“This is all according to Hadházy… but of course we believe Hadházy.”
This is an apparent concession that actually functions as mockery:
it pretends to accept the source,
then immediately turns it into absurdity.
📌 Target: Hadházy Ákos portrayed as the “excessive accuser.”
3️⃣ Infantilizing Humor and Visual Imagery
“rubber boots”
“lasso”
“burly men”
“a zebra running across the background”
This fairy-tale-like, childlike imagery:
emotionally distances the audience from real issues,
prevents rational evaluation.
4️⃣ Deflecting Responsibility Through Laughter
Humor acts as a shield:
anyone who criticizes is labeled “humorless,”
anyone who questions is told they “don’t get the joke.”
This is a classic cynical propaganda reflex.
🧩 Hidden Message
The story is not about zebras, but about this idea:
“Criticism of those in power is exaggerated and unserious, therefore it does not deserve attention.”
Here, laughter does not liberate — it shuts down thinking.
🧠 Summary
This text functions as:
🎭 defense disguised as satire,
🧯 tension release through mockery,
🧱 intellectual deflection against criticism.
The “zebra slaughter” is not a joke, but a rhetorical device — used to make real questions disappear. ate it.
🌬️ The air is thinning around the Tisza, and reality is catching up with them
Although the reality-denying sectarians (as I usually refer to the hard core of Tisza supporters) are becoming increasingly skilled and increasingly blatant in denying reality, it still catches up with them from time to time. László Kéri has spoken out again, once more portraying the Tisza in a way that is “uncomfortable” for Péter Magyar, yet they are still capable of denying that these old SZDSZ figures and experts nostalgic for the socialist era are working in the background to ensure that, under a potential Tisza government, the Hungarian people would once again suffer because of their ideas.
“Uncle Laci” Kéri is becoming harder and harder to deny. Especially while he keeps talking. And not just a little. Uncle Laci talks a lot — so much so that he even speaks on behalf of the muzzled Tisza candidates. On top of that, Uncle Laci frequently drops by the Tisza headquarters for coffee. Yet, according to Péter Magyar, Uncle Laci has nothing to do with the Tisza.
Now László Kéri has stated that “it is completely obvious that the Tisza would be open not only to joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, but also to many other measures which, if it were to govern, it would carry out — measures that the Orbán government has been unwilling to implement for 3–4–5–6 years.”
In other words, László Kéri — who is quite often hosted at the Tisza headquarters — has made it very clear that the Tisza, in government, would implement policies that are in sharp contrast to those represented by Fidesz for a long time. We are talking here about issues such as financial support for young people, assistance for them, tax exemptions for mothers, family tax allowances, the “Women 40” scheme, or benefits for pensioners. After all, László Kéri has repeatedly spoken about how, in their economic worldview, the right-wing policy of recognizing and supporting people through work is a dead end. They instead believe in a welfare-based society and in granting tax breaks to multinationals, rather than supporting workers and families.
The statements of talking heads like László Kéri (who are claimed to be “NOT TISZA”) are in fact clearly reflected in the so-called “Tisza package” as well — a package that Péter Magyar is desperately trying to deny with hands and feet. He has even (presumably) mobilized judicial influence just to have the 600-page document published by Index declared a lie. At the very least, the lawsuit currently underway between the outlet and the leader of Tisza is more than a little suspicious. In the case, the court of first instance ruled in favor of Index, yet the second instance sent the case back to the first instance. In the repeated proceedings — before the very same judge — the court rejected the outlet’s request for source protection and, contradicting its earlier decision, ruled in favor of the plaintiff. The case is complicated, and the story is more than a little suspicious.
So Péter and his circle are using every tool at their disposal. But even they may not be able to keep an eye on everything. Because László Kéri and his associates not only visit the Tisza headquarters — they also talk. And their statements paint a picture of a country that would be extremely unfavorable for Hungarian families and working people.
One thing is certain: Péter Magyar and his team will not be able to maintain their policy of sealed mouths until April. Because Kéri and his circle keep talking and visiting — while Ursula von der Leyen and her circle are growing increasingly impatient, waiting for the Tisza to fulfill their expectations and force the financing of Ukraine down the throats of Hungarians. The air is thinning around the Tisza, and reality is catching up with them — rapidly.
🎭 Central Narrative
“Behind Tisza there are secret, left-wing background actors who, on Brussels’ orders, would pursue politics against Hungarian families.”
The text does not provide evidence. Instead, it continuously builds suspicion, fear, and moral rejection, and from this draws a single political conclusion.
1️⃣ Pre-emptive labeling and dehumanization
“reality-denying cult members” “the hardcore Tisza base”
🔹 Technique: labeling, dehumanization 🔹 Effect: – the opponent is no longer a political actor, but an irrational sect – therefore there is no need to debate them, only to “expose” them
👉 Trick: anyone who disagrees is, by definition, not considered rational.
2️⃣ Personalized scapegoating: Kéri László
🔹 Technique: shadow-power narrative 🔹 Tools used:
“an old SZDSZ figure”
“nostalgic for the socialist era”
“speaks on behalf of gagged Tisza candidates”
👉 Goal: – the danger is not Tisza’s program – but an alleged “old left-wing intellectual control”
⚠️ Evidence: none ⚠️ Sleight of hand: opinion → control → responsibility
🔹 Technique: belittlement + repetition 🔹 Effect: – devalues expert status – drags the message to an emotional level
👉 This is not refutation, but ridicule.
4️⃣ False economic dichotomy
“the right = a work-based society” “the left = a welfare-based society + support for multinationals”
🔹 Technique: false simplification 🔹 What is missing: – no concrete Tisza program – no cited decision – no legislative plan
👉 Trick: an ideological caricature, not analysis.
5️⃣ Fear-mongering with the “Tisza package”
“which they deny with hands and feet”
🔹 Technique: constant reference to a non-existent or unproven package 🔹 Effect: – “if they deny it, it must be true” logic – continuous maintenance of suspicion
👉 Classic conspiracy framing.
6️⃣ Institutional suspicion: courts + media
The Index lawsuit, “not a little suspicious”
🔹 Technique: delegitimization of rule-of-law institutions 🔹 Message: – if a ruling is unfavorable → it must be manipulated – if it changes → it must be influenced
👉 Suggestion instead of proof.
Involved actors:
Index
Magyar Péter
7️⃣ Introduction of an external enemy: Brussels + Ukraine
“Ursula von der Leyen and others are waiting for Ukraine to be financed”
🔹 Technique: sovereignty-threat narrative 🔹 Effect: – domestic political debate → national survival issue – opponent = servant of foreign interests
Involved:
Ursula von der Leyen
8️⃣ Apocalyptic closing
“the air is running out” “reality is coming” “at breakneck speed”
🔹 Technique: vision of imminent collapse 🔹 Purpose: – urgency – electoral mobilization through fear
🎯 Summary
This text is not analysis, but:
🎭 character assassination
🧠 suspicion-building without evidence
⚠️ institutional insinuation
🔥 fear-mongering + construction of an external enemy
The final message is simple:
“Don’t look at what Tisza says — fear what we suggest about them.”
We believe that Brussels’ demands must be rejected. We do not think that Europe should be responsible for paying Ukrainian utility bills or ensuring the operational capacity of the Ukrainian state. If we look at the size of the cost, this would amount to 1.3 million forints per Hungarian family, and for this very reason it must not be allowed.
It is important that as many people as possible take part and clearly express their position regarding Brussels’ demands!
WE ARE LAUNCHING A PETITION AGAINST THE BRUSSELS WAR PLAN!
We do not want to pay for the war. We do not want to send Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine. Together, we send a message to Brussels.
The party is getting started. Ursula’s people are collecting the required “deliverables” from Peti’s team. The €800 billion aid package for Ukraine has to be pushed through on the Hungarians — otherwise Auntie von der Leyen will get angry and won’t sign off on Peti’s performance certificate. 🫢 Zoltán Tarr has already explained what Tisza supporters are supposed to think about the financial aid: it’s a business opportunity!!!!
Meanwhile, the European Commission has also written down what they expect from Tisza: invest in Ukraine and abolish the measures that support Hungarian families, young people, and pensioners. This is going to look great by April 🤔🫢
Wow, I see the Tisza crowd has started screeching at full volume. Because yesterday it became clear that Hungarian families would have to contribute 1.3 million forints per family to Ukraine — if Hungary were to follow the EU mainstream and if we accepted Zelensky’s demand that the European Union funnel $800 billion through its member states to “rebuild” Ukraine.
Now, yesterday it also became clear why these expectations are coming from Brussels, specifically toward Tisza. Because this is not some voluntary, beloved service project. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Tisza must fulfill certain demands imposed on them by EU leaders.
It’s no coincidence, for example, that Zoltán Tarr has already started explaining why it would supposedly be good for Hungarians to invest in Ukraine — because Ukraine will be a massive financial opportunity if the Russians are defeated.
Now I’d like to ask: is this Russian defeat here in the room with us right now, dear Zoltán? And secondly: how exactly is it a “huge business opportunity” for Hungarians to pour Hungarian people’s money into Ukraine? What are you even talking about, guys?
Shouldn’t we be supporting Hungarian people instead? What Ukrainian market are we even talking about?
Zoltán Tarr’s reasoning is not accidental either, because Brussels’ expectations toward the Hungarian government have already appeared — including demands such as abolishing tax exemptions for mothers, family tax benefits, and essentially eliminating everything that helps Hungarian people.
So the picture is coming together more and more clearly. The situation is that Ursula’s people are now expecting some tangible results from Peti’s team — but it seems they’re not really managing to push this through the Hungarian public.
I think Hungarians still believe that the money they work for belongs to them — for example, in the form of tax benefits. And no, we do not want to invest in any Ukrainian market. We want Hungarian money to stay with Hungarian people.
So yes — the party is getting started.
🎭 Central Narrative
“Tisza is Brussels’ puppet, would pay Ukraine, and therefore would take money away from Hungarian families.”
The purpose of the text is not to provide evidence, but to incite anger and moral panic, and then to force a single political conclusion from it: 👉 “Do not vote for them.”
😬 I can’t help it if I keep bringing news that drives the sectarians crazy. My apologies to them in advance. But I’m reading that the Fidesz–KDNP lead appears to be becoming permanent as we rapidly approach the elections.
According to a survey by the Alapjogokért Központ, if an election were held this Sunday, the governing parties would receive 49 percent of the vote, while Tisza would stand at only 41 percent — a confident lead, well beyond the margin of error. And this was most likely measured before Tisza openly began spreading the idea that it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if Hungarians chipped in to the $800 billion aid package for Ukraine. After all, according to Tisza supporters, there are enormous financial opportunities in Ukraine.
“A more realistic analysis acknowledges the massive costs of reconstruction, but also the huge opportunities it contains,” Tarr said about Ukraine, basing all of this on an expected Russian defeat.
Now, I think many of us would strongly disagree with the vice president of Tisza, because rebuilding a country that is endlessly corrupt and in many places practically reduced to rubble is not a market, but a financial black hole — one we have no intention of throwing our money into. But it’s clear that the directive from the Brussels elite has arrived, and they are expecting performance from Magyar Péter and his team.
So I’m very curious to see just how much further Tisza will fall behind Fidesz after introducing this narrative.
If you want, I can also:
🎭 Central Narrative
“Fidesz is leading, Tisza is losing — and on Brussels’ orders, they would send Hungarians’ money to Ukraine.”
The text does not aim to inform, but to pre-emptively shut down thinking and steer the reader, on an emotional basis, toward a single political conclusion.
1️⃣ Pre-emptive stigmatization (“sect labeling”)
“…I keep driving the sectarians crazy.”
🔹 Technique: labeling, dehumanization 🔹 Effect:
anyone who disagrees → not rational, but a “sectarian”
the opposing side’s arguments are invalid by default 👉 Trick: excluding debate before facts are even discussed.
2️⃣ “Independent polling” as a substitute for authority
“According to a survey by the Center for Fundamental Rights…”
🔹 Technique: appeal to authority 🔹 Problem:
the Center for Fundamental Rights is openly pro-government
no methodology, sample size, or timing is disclosed 👉 Trick: political messaging disguised as “objective data.”
3️⃣ Margin-of-error magic and the illusion of finality
“…a confident lead well beyond the margin of error.”
It’s becoming harder and harder to deny Uncle Laci Kéri’s role — especially while Uncle Laci Kéri keeps talking. And not a little. Uncle Laci talks a lot; he even speaks on behalf of the Tisza candidates who have been put under a gag order. On top of that, Uncle Laci frequently drops by the Tisza headquarters for coffee. But of course, Uncle Laci has nothing to do with Tisza 🤣
Now watch this! It’s completely obvious that Tisza is open not only to joining the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, but also to a whole range of measures that, if it were governing, it would be willing to carry out — measures that the Orbán government has been unwilling to take for 3–4–5–6 years.
So Uncle Laci Kéri, who “only” goes for coffee at the Tisza headquarters several times a week, and Márk Radnai, who “only” calls Uncle Laci the first Tisza member, do so simply because he supposedly has nothing to do with the party.
According to this Uncle Laci, then, a Tisza government would be willing to do all those things that the Orbán government has refused to do for many years. Here Uncle Laci is bringing up issues that you usually talk about in connection with the economy: why the 13th–14th month pension is unsustainable; why family benefits are unsustainable; why the retirement age should be raised; why young people, families, and mothers should not be helped; and why instead we should move toward a welfare-based society where work is not supported, but rather living off benefits is.
These are the things Uncle Laci is talking about — Uncle Laci, who, supposedly, has absolutely nothing to do with Tisza.
1️⃣ Soft denial (plausible deniability)
“Kéri ‘Uncle Laci’ has nothing to do with Tisza 😂”
🔹 Technique: ironic denial 🔹 Real function: – while constantly hammering the alleged connection between László Kéri and the Tisza Party, – it denies it in a legal/formal sense.
👉 This isn’t a rebuttal—it’s preemptive cover: “we’re just asking questions.”
2️⃣ Mocking infantilization (“Uncle Laci”)
🔹 Technique: belittling, patronizing nickname 🔹 Effect: – discredits the analyst/intellectual role – drags the message down to an emotional level (“don’t take him seriously—he’s just an old guy”)
👉 The goal is to make the person ridiculous, not to engage the arguments.
3️⃣ Strawman economics
The text puts into Kéri’s mouth that he allegedly wants to:
abolish the 13th–14th month pension
scrap family benefits
raise the retirement age
build a “welfare-dependent society”
🔹 Technique: strawman + exaggeration 🔹 Trick: – no quotation – no program – no decision-making role → yet it’s presented as a ready-made government program.
👉 An analyst’s commentary → an apocalyptic future scenario.
4️⃣ Guilt by association
“If Kéri says this, then Tisza would do it.”
🔹 Technique: projecting indirect responsibility 🔹 False logic: – no official position – no mandate – no party program document → yet it’s charged to the party’s political account.
👉 That’s how you manufacture an opponent’s ‘program’ without evidence.
We’re all going to prison, because “Maidan Peti” has decided that only what he allows may be talked about. For example, it’s forbidden to talk about their tax-related plans, because that would be uncomfortable for him. And then, I suppose, little by little, everyone else will follow too—anyone who doesn’t lick his statue every morning on the city’s main square.
But one thing is certain: if Petike were prime minister, life in prison would be much better than life in Hungary.
Péter Magyar has announced one of his main election programs, namely that after April 12 we will all be going to prison. Because “Maidan Petike” came up with the idea that he will not only jail Viktor Orbán, the members of the Hungarian government, and Fidesz politicians, but also those journalists who reported on the more than 600-page document that contains their austerity package.
So this is more or less what the Tisza-style “country of love,” press freedom, and European values look like—right? Well, actually, European values really are exactly like this nowadays. In great Germany, voices that even slightly support the AfD are being suppressed, and one of the largest opposition parties is being barred from running.
So in fact, Péter Magyar is simply following the European mainstream: if you report on reality, or God forbid you dare to write something critical about the opposition’s messiah, or you voice anti-war opinions, that’s considered dangerous. And the people who do this, well, they have to be put in prison. That will be the great rule of law.
Tisza supporters will be very happy about this—except that the situation is that we will be living in a country where you, dear Tisza supporters, will have to produce all the tax revenue that we’ll be living off while sitting in prison. Just saying.
By the way, this “Maidan Petike” is incredibly stupid. Really stupid. Because there won’t be a single journalist left at liberty in Hungary. And the reason is that 444 and Telex also reported on this austerity package. Sure, from the very beginning they framed it as propaganda and a big lie—but regardless, it still appeared on their portals. So technically, we can say they also promoted the whole thing, which means they’ll go to prison too, along with the people from HVG.
And what about non-journalists? What about influencers who reported on it? There are plenty of them as well. Is there even enough prison capacity in Hungary for all this?
We can joke about it, but “Maidan Petike” is not joking at all. Just look at what happened with Bors. Simply because it talked about exactly this.
Let’s have no illusions: these are bloodthirsty, disgusting communists whose only goal is to silence those who disagree with them. So-called democrats.
Believe me, dear Tisza supporters, you don’t want to live in a country like this either. First we’ll be here, then they’ll throw us in prison, and then they’ll tax you like animals. You’ll be slaving away for the rest of your lives, and you’ll have no freedom left. You can sell your Teslas and your duplex houses. A damn miserable life awaits you too. We warned you in advance.
But let’s joke a bit in the end: if Péter Magyar comes to power in Hungary, we’ll be much better off in prison. We won’t have to pay for heating, we won’t have to buy food at outrageous prices. Plus, our friends will be there too.
And yes, we’ll finally be living indoors.
🎭 Central Narrative
“If Péter Magyar comes to power, dictatorship, prison, repression, and misery will follow.”
This is not a factual claim, but an apocalyptic future vision whose purpose is:
fear-mongering
moral demonization of the opponent
shutting down critical thinking
1️⃣ Apocalyptic exaggeration (“we’ll all go to prison”)
“…after April 12, we will all go to prison.”
🔹 Technique: catastrophe framing 🔹 Effect: existential fear 🔹 Trick:
no law cited
no quotation
no concrete statement
→ yet it is presented as a certain future
👉 This is classic panic-mongering, not analysis.
2️⃣ Enemy construction + mocking infantilization
“Maidan Petike,” “so incredibly stupid”
🔹 Technique: personal humiliation (ad hominem) 🔹 Goal:
to present Péter Magyar not as a political actor,
but as a ridiculous and dangerous figure
👉 If we ridicule him, there’s no need to refute him.
3️⃣ Inversion of free speech (projection)
“…only what he allows can be talked about”
🔹 Technique: projection 🔹 Essence:
criticism of current media conditions
is preemptively projected onto the opponent
👉 What the speaker actually fears is used as a preemptive accusation.
4️⃣ “Rule of law = communist dictatorship” narrative
“bloodthirsty, disgusting communists”
🔹 Technique: moral demonization 🔹 Effect:
the opponent is dehumanized,
anything becomes permissible against them
👉 Dehumanizing language is always dangerous.
5️⃣ Manipulation of external examples (Germany, AfD)
“In Germany, AfD is being suppressed”
🔹 Technique: false analogy 🔹 Affected entity:Alternative für Deutschland
🔹 Trick:
conflates legal procedures
with the claim that “opinions are being banned”
👉 A complex legal issue is turned into a simple horror story.
6️⃣ Involving the press as “criminals”
“444, Telex, HVG will also go to prison”
🔹 Technique: collective intimidation 🔹 Affected media outlets:
444
Telex
HVG
👉 An absurd exaggeration, but psychologically effective: “if even they would be jailed, then anyone could be.”
7️⃣ “We warned you” – self-absolution
“We warned you.”
🔹 Technique: prophetic self-justification 🔹 Goal:
so that whatever happens later appears to confirm the claim,
even if it never actually occurs
8️⃣ Cynical “joking” → normalization
“life will be better in prison”
🔹 Technique: threat masked as humor 🔹 Effect:
the idea of dictatorship becomes trivialized
fear is made “funny,” and therefore easier to accept
