lászló kövér National Assembly of Hungary

But how can we be sure that he is lying? Not only because his mouth is moving, but also because these very ideas are openly discussed by experts of the Tisza Party, because Brussels is demanding their implementation, and because the same discredited and compromised left-wing experts and politicians who now support the Tisza Party have already carried them out in the past.

So how can we be sure that our concerns are justified? Because we know the plans of the left-wing opposition, laid out in more than 600 pages. Péter Magyar, of course, claims that they have nothing to do with this document. But how can we be sure that he is lying? Not only because his mouth is moving, but also because Tisza Party experts talk about these measures, Brussels demands their implementation, and because from László Lengyel through Surányi and Bokros to János Kóka, these same figures carried them out when they and their ideological allies came to power.

They impoverished and made not only the people but the entire country vulnerable. They dismantled the state, drove it into debt, and stripped it of its assets. Let us not forget what they did after 2002, what we lost under the governments of Medgyessy, Gyurcsány, and Bajnai, when they merely pretended to govern.

Secondly, we could lose the freedom we regained over three and a half decades ago: democracy, the rule of law, and our sovereignty. Why can we think this? Fortunately—or unfortunately—in this regard, neither the words nor the actions and behavior of Péter Magyar and his neo-Bolshevik shock troops leave any doubt about how they think about constitutional institutions and rules, the independence of the judiciary and freedom of the press, the rights and human dignity of those who disagree with them, the national interest, and the permissibility of foreign influence bought with money.

We could lose our way of life, our culture, our freedom to define ourselves and to raise our children. We could lose our homeland, because Brussels is increasingly openly and shamelessly trying to degrade the European Union’s theoretically equal and independent member states into subordinate provinces.

🎭 Core Narrative

“There is no need to prove that he is lying — it is enough that we say so.”

The purpose of the text is not persuasion, but the total destruction of trust in the opponent, while carefully avoiding any concrete evidence.


1️⃣ “How can we be sure that he is lying?” — Self-Justifying Loop

🔹 Technique: circular reasoning
🔹 How it works:

The accusation of lying is not derived from facts, but from presumed intent.

He is lying because he is left-wing” → “He is left-wing because he is lying.”

👉 Propaganda function:
Eliminates the need for proof.
No data is required — identity alone is sufficient.


2️⃣ “Not only because his mouth is moving” — Dehumanization

🔹 Technique: linguistic degradation
🔹 Effect:

The opponent is no longer a rational actor, but a biological reflex.

Lying is not a decision, but a “natural state.”

👉 A classic enemy-construction method that excludes debate.


3️⃣ “A 600-page document” — The Myth of the Secret Plan

🔹 Technique: phantom evidence

🔹 The trick:

The document is never quoted, never shown.

Denial (“we had nothing to do with it”) becomes proof of lying in itself.

👉 Conspiracy logic:

  • If you deny it → you’re guilty
  • If you stay silent → you’re guilty

4️⃣ “Brussels demands it” — The External Control Narrative

🔹 Technique: sovereignty-threat framing

🔹 Claim:

There are no domestic decisions.

The opponent is a puppet, not a political actor.

👉 Goal:
Transform the election into a choice not between programs, but between treason vs. homeland.


5️⃣ Listing Names — Collective Guilt

Named figures:

  • László Lengyel
  • György Surányi
  • Lajos Bokros
  • János Kóka

🔹 Technique: historical guilt transfer
🔹 False logic:

If someone once belonged to a political camp,
they are forever and universally responsible.

👉 This is not analysis, but a weapon of memory politics.


6️⃣ Demonizing 2002–2010 — Temporal Panic

Named prime ministers:

  • Péter Medgyessy
  • Ferenc Gyurcsány
  • Gordon Bajnai

🔹 Technique: activation of historical trauma
🔹 Problem:

No evaluation.
No context.
No distinction between policy and myth.

👉 Message:
“If it’s not us, it’s them — and then everything will be lost.”


7️⃣ “We could lose our freedom” — Total Fear-Mongering

🔹 Technique: existential panic narrative

Threat list:

  • democracy
  • rule of law
  • press freedom
  • culture
  • child-rearing
  • national existence

👉 Trick:
Threaten everything at once → prove nothing at all.


8️⃣ “Brussels reduces us to provinces” — Imperial Metaphor

🔹 Technique: colonization narrative
🔹 Effect:
The EU is framed not as a political community, but as a hostile empire.

👉 This is not EU criticism — it is the preparation of exit logic.


🎯 Conclusion — What Is Actually Happening?

This text:

❌ does not debate
❌ does not prove
❌ does not analyze

✅ programs emotion
✅ manufactures enemies
✅ labels criticism as treason

The unspoken core message:

“Don’t think. Be afraid. And vote.”

Eszter Vitályos is Hungary’s shame…

Government Spokesperson, State Secretary responsible for Government Communication

They can no longer deny it! They would take everything away from Hungarian families! We must stay alert — the stakes are serious!

Ukraine is demanding 800 billion dollars from the member states of the European Union to finance the next ten years. From that amount, we could fund pensions for forty years and family support programs for sixty years. And the question of how the European Commission intends to make us pay for all this is detailed in this report.

The report was compiled by the Ministry for European Union Affairs, and it contains every proposal and directive that the European Commission has intended for Hungary.

Just to mention the most important ones: they would abolish the 13th and 14th month pensions. They would eliminate family support programs and once again push for the introduction of progressive taxation.

On April 12, we will have to decide on this as well. Will Hungary continue to support Hungarian families, or will we embark on a path where the focus is on war and the financing of Ukraine? I believe the choice is simple. The Fidesz–KDNP government has already proven itself — we stand on the side of Hungarian families.

1️⃣ “Ukraine is demanding 800 billion dollars” → shock-number narrative

Technique: intimidation through large numbers
An unchecked, context-free figure (“800 billion dollars”) is thrown into the discourse to trigger an immediate emotional reaction.

👉 Propaganda function:
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true — only whether it sounds frightening.

👉 What is omitted:

  • no time breakdown
  • no source
  • no legal framework
  • no distinction between a demand, a negotiating position, and an approved obligation

2️⃣ “We could fund everything for 40–60 years from this” → false comparison

Technique: manipulated opportunity cost (fake trade-off)

👉 The trick:
A non-existent financial flow is compared to domestic spending, as if:

  • the EU budget = the Hungarian state budget
  • every euro sent to Ukraine comes directly out of Hungarian pensioners’ pockets

👉 Reality:
The EU’s common budget does not work this way. The calculation is deliberately misleading.


3️⃣ “The European Commission would make us pay for it” → collective scapegoating

Technique: external enemy construction
The European Commission is portrayed as a faceless, threatening power.

👉 Message:

  • “they dictate”
  • “we are only defending ourselves”

👉 Omitted fact:
The Commission does not issue diktats; it submits proposals negotiated with the member states.


4️⃣ “They would abolish the 13th and 14th month pensions, eliminate family benefits” → fear-based packaging

Technique: existential threat framing

👉 Propaganda function:
The listener begins to fear for their own livelihood, experiencing the election not as a political choice but as a survival dilemma.

👉 The problem:

  • no specific legislation
  • no adopted decision
  • no EU resolution

👉 This is speculation presented as fact.


5️⃣ “Progressive taxation” → ideological scarecrow

Technique: activation of an internal enemy
“Progressive taxation” is framed as a left-wing punishment.

👉 Goal:
To trigger instant rejection and exclude any substantive policy debate.


6️⃣ “On April 12, we must decide on this as well” → false electoral stakes

Technique: binary trap

👉 The choice is falsely reduced to two options:

  • Hungarian families
  • war + Ukraine

👉 All other options are excluded, such as:

  • conditional support
  • EU-level bargaining
  • domestic economic policy adjustments

7️⃣ “Fidesz–KDNP has already proven itself” → self-justifying closure

Technique: self-glorifying authority
Fidesz–KDNP presents itself as the sole protector.

👉 Instead of evidence: nostalgia — without metrics.


🔚 Overall picture — what is actually happening?

This text:

  • does not calculate, it intimidates
  • does not inform, it instills fear
  • is not an electoral program, but a framework of coercion
  • is not about an EU debate, but about a loyalty test

The real issue is not Ukraine,
not the EU,
not pensions.

👉 The real question is:
Do you believe that only one party can protect you from everything?

This is classic campaign propaganda — not public policy debate.

Balázs Németh says Orbán did a bad job because Ukraine received three times as much money — and then claims this is not Orbán’s responsibility. That’s completely stupid. Pure Fidesz propaganda.

What is this? Ukrainians have received three times as much money from the European Union in just three years as Hungary has received since 2004 — that is, over 21–22 years — and they still want to keep pouring billions, even hundreds of billions of euros into them.
Is this normal?

orbán propaganda with balázs nemeth dangerously stupid…

Today, mayors are all waiting for a Tisza Party government.
According to the Tisza candidate from North Pest, even the Democratic Coalition mayor can hardly wait for a Tisza government to come to power.

That same DK mayor regularly consults with the Ukrainian ambassador. Birds of a feather.
Pro-war, pro-Ukraine, pro-migration.
Both DK and Tisza are like this.
They are dangerous.

orbán propaganda

Hajós András has admitted that he was wrong when he downplayed the consequences of migration.
The former key member of Heti Hetes acknowledged in a podcast that the national government made the right decision when it said no to illegal migration ten years ago.
Today, he also recognizes that Orbán Viktor was right: the consistently upheld migration policy protected our country from the crisis experienced in the West.

Hungary continues to need a prime minister who raises his voice and acts when there is trouble—not when it is already too late, but when resistance is still possible. Even if other European politicians want something different.

In times of danger, we must think several steps ahead and make responsible decisions. This is not the time for experimentation.
Fidesz and Viktor Orbán are the safe choice.


Now imagine this: a well-known actor visited the former Heti Hetes legend, András Hajós, and together they talked about how badly they had misjudged migration back then. Looking back now, he said it was a “***** huge mistake” to even argue about it.

He explained that even within his own circles, he has to be very cautious when speaking about this issue—an issue about which he himself had once written an article in a magazine, accusing Viktor Orbán of exaggeration and mocking him for imagining himself as the hero of Nándorfehérvár, claiming to be the defender of Christianity.

But over the years, his opinion inevitably changed, because he saw what actually happened. He admitted that in certain circles he still cannot openly say that when Viktor Orbán claims he was right on this issue, then yes—he was right.

He said he watched the video and believes it is a very good thing that there are people who are capable of saying this out loud. Because in life, it happens that someone does not recognize a problem at the time, or thinks things are different—only for reality to later prove that the person who raised his voice and warned early was right.

Hungary, he said, must not end up in the same dead end that Western Europe entered during the migration crisis.

In his view, this situation is very similar to the present one. Once again, Hungary has a leader—in Viktor Orbán’s case—who is capable of thinking several steps ahead and understanding the consequences of decisions before they unfold.

🎭 Narrative: “Even the critics have admitted that Orbán was right”

The core claim of the text is that Hajós András—a well-known former face of Heti Hetes—has retrospectively admitted that he was wrong about migration, and that Orbán Viktor ultimately proved to be right.

This is a classic legitimation trick:
if a well-known figure perceived as being from “the other side” supposedly “converts,” the message presents it as irrefutable proof.


1️⃣ “He regretted it, he realized it, he admitted it” – the conversion narrative

🔹 Technique: a story of moral purification
🔹 Effect:

  • arguments do not win—repentance does
  • the debate is declared closed: “anyone who still criticizes is behind the times”

👉 Propaganda function:
It does not prove that Orbán was right; it suggests that the issue is no longer even worth debating.


2️⃣ “Western Europe went into a dead end” – fear by contrast

🔹 Technique: deterrent example (West = chaos)
🔹 Trick:

  • no data
  • no country-by-country distinction
  • no cause-and-effect analysis

👉 Message:
if not Orbán’s path → Western collapse.


3️⃣ “Someone who thinks ahead” – the leader myth

🔹 Technique: constructing a prophetic leader
🔹 Key phrase:
“capable of thinking several steps ahead”

👉 Reality:
retrospective justification = ex post rationalization.
Past decisions are not analyzed through their consequences—only morally glorified.


4️⃣ “This is not the time for experimentation” – status-quo blackmail

🔹 Technique: false dilemma

  • either Orbán
  • or chaos

👉 Propaganda function:
every alternative is framed as irresponsible risk.


5️⃣ The role of Hajós András – the showcase critic

A crucial trick:
Hajós appears not as a political expert, but as an “honest civilian.”

👉 This is how it works:

  • “not a Fidesz supporter”
  • “not a politician”
  • “yet he admitted it”

This is emotional authentication, not professional credibility.


⚠️ Conclusion – what is really happening?

This text is not about migration. It is about:

🔒 Closing the debate
🔒 Making the leader unquestionable
🔒 Delegitimizing criticism of the present

And the final sentence says it all:

“Fidesz and Viktor Orbán are the safe choice.”
→ not a conclusion, but a campaign slogan.

orbán propaganda never stop…

Brussels has given three times (!) as much money to Ukraine in just three years as Hungarians have received over the entire period of our EU membership since 2004.

The war and misguided Brussels policies have already cost millions to every Hungarian family, but Ukraine’s new, purely economic $800 billion (!) demand would mean an additional 1.3 million forints per Hungarian family.

This is money that people would literally have to take out of a drawer at home and hand over to Zelensky. Absolutely not.

At the same time, Brussels doesn’t even have this money, which is why they are demanding war-related tax hikes and cuts to social support. They would take away the 13th and 14th month pensions, home-creation subsidies, CSOK, utility price caps, the flat income tax, worker loans, as well as tax benefits for mothers, young people, and families. I could go on at length.

Only a strong national government can resist this — a government that has been doing exactly that for 15 years. That is why Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice.

If Brussels’ newly appointed puppets were to come to power, they would not be able to resist — and would not dare to. Anyone can see that.

What do you think about the report by the Ministry for European Union Affairs on how much Brussels’ war policy is costing us?
I’ve seen that report as well. In my view, it contains brutal figures, but it only confirms what we have already seen: this war is essentially being paid for by the Hungarian people and by Europeans.

The report states very clearly that the money the European Union has spent on Ukraine over just the past few years is three times the amount Hungary has received during its entire EU membership since 2004. In other words, everything we have received from Brussels since joining the EU combined amounts to only one third of what has recently been spent on Ukraine.

And then there is the 800 billion euros that Ukraine’s prime minister has spoken about — money that, independently of military and war-related expenditures, would still be required from us in the coming years.

It is worth translating this into concrete terms: Hungary’s share alone would mean around 1.3 million forints per family. Just imagine if every Hungarian family had to put 1.3 million forints on the table at home, and there would be no question about where that money would be taken from — because it would be missing from somewhere.

It would be missing from the 13th and 14th month pensions, from support for businesses, from tax benefits for families, and from tax exemptions.

As long as Hungary has a national government, we will not allow this. But if some Brussels-installed puppet government were to come to power, then, obviously, anything could happen. That’s exactly the point.

1️⃣ “Brussels gave three times as much to Ukraine as to Hungary since 2004”

Technique: false comparison (apples vs. oranges)

What’s the trick?

  • Hungary has been a net beneficiary within the EU (cohesion funds, agricultural subsidies, recovery funds).
  • Money given to Ukraine is crisis and war assistance, not structural funding tied to EU membership.
  • The timeframe, purpose, and legal category are completely different.

👉 This is like saying:

“More money was spent on firefighting than on home renovation — therefore firefighters are stealing.”


2️⃣ “800 billion dollars → 1.3 million forints per family”

Technique: fictional allocation + shock numbers

What’s the problem?

  • There is no approved, mandatory EU contribution of this kind.
  • There is no mechanism by which such an amount would be collected “per family.”
  • The EU budget simply does not work this way.

👉 This is psychological blackmail, not calculation:

“Imagine this being taken from you” — even though no such decision exists.


3️⃣ “This money would be given to Zelensky”

Technique: personalized scapegoating

This is where Volodymyr Zelensky appears as a constructed enemy figure.

Purpose:

  • To attach abstract EU decisions to a single face
  • To provoke moral outrage (“Would you give him your money?”)

👉 A classic case of externalized enemy construction.


4️⃣ “They would take away the 13th–14th month pensions, CSOK, utility price caps”

Technique: fear-based listing

Important facts:

  • There is no EU decision to abolish a 13th or “14th” month pension.
  • A “14th month pension” does not even exist as a legal institution.
  • CSOK and utility price caps are domestic budgetary policy decisions.

👉 This is conditional future scaremongering:

“If it’s not us, everything will be bad.”


5️⃣ “Only a strong national government can resist”

Technique: savior narrative

This is where the argument arrives at the political legitimization of Orbán Viktor and Fidesz.

Message, simplified:

  • We = protection
  • Others = betrayal / weakness / puppets

👉 This is authoritarian logic, not an economic argument.


6️⃣ The problem with the “report”

“I’ve seen the report as well”

Key questions that are not answered:

  • Is it public?
  • Does it contain a full budgetary breakdown?
  • Are the figures gross or net?
  • Are these legally binding items or political estimates?

👉 A government ministry document is not an independent source.


The overall picture – what is really happening?

This is not information, but:

  • fear-mongering
  • false calculations
  • enemy-image construction
  • domestic political mobilization

The real question is not whether the EU is making mistakes regarding Ukraine —
but why it is necessary to project a “1.3 million forints per family” horror story to make that case.

In short:

👉 This is campaign rhetoric, not economic analysis.
👉 It uses numbers, but does not actually calculate.
👉 It merges Brussels, Ukraine, and the domestic opposition into a single enemy bloc.

Orbán Viktor’s Economic Propaganda — Explained by Dezse

We answered questions from viewers. Móni asked whether the so-called “flying start” is still going on. We tried to explain to her as well what the real economic situation in Hungary looks like today. Because it’s not as simple as “Lőrinc and the others stole everything and that’s it.” You see, this is a much more complex issue than that 😘

– Is the “flying start” still ongoing?

– Absolutely. As far as I’m concerned, it still is.

– And to answer this seriously: Viktor himself also said that the 2025 budget was clearly built on the assumption that Russia and Ukraine would make peace with each other, and that this war, which is happening right next to us, not very far away, would no longer continue to affect the Hungarian economy—just as it affects the economy of every European country, given that the European Union is pouring EU citizens’ money into a war.

Orbán also said that economic growth could have been higher if they had not introduced the personal income tax exemption for mothers with two and three children, and if they had not increased—indeed doubled—the family tax allowances, and if there had not been the 3% subsidized loan either.

So if these benefits and population-supporting measures had not been introduced, growth really would have been higher. But they accepted that instead it would stagnate, in exchange for giving support directly to Hungarian people.

Honestly, I’m also just stagnating like this. And I would have chosen this option anyway.

👉 Propaganda function:
The goal is not to explain why there is no growth, but to suggest that “in theory there is growth — you just can’t see it.”


2️⃣ “The budget was built on peace” → retroactive excuse-making

Technique: ex post rationalization
The 2025 budget was based on an assumption (“there will be peace”), not on proper risk analysis.

👉 Message:
The government did not make a mistake → the world went wrong.

👉 Reality:
A responsible budget is not built on a single geopolitical assumption.


3️⃣ “Every European country is suffering” → collective absolution

Technique: relativization
If everyone is doing badly, then no one is responsible.

👉 Propaganda function:
Hungary’s specific economic problems (inflation, collapse in investment, real wage volatility) disappear into the “European noise.”


4️⃣ “The EU is pouring money into the war” → scapegoating

Technique: external enemy narrative
The EU = a money-burning war machine
Hungary = an innocent victim

👉 Omitted facts:

  • EU funds were withheld not because of the war, but due to rule-of-law issues
  • Energy and inflation shocks were amplified by domestic policy decisions

5️⃣ “Growth could have been higher, but we chose to give to people” → false dilemma

Technique:
👉 either economic growth
👉 or family support

As if the two were mutually exclusive.

👉 Propaganda function:
Stagnation is reframed as a moral virtue:

“It doesn’t matter that it’s not growing — at least we are good people.”


6️⃣ “If we hadn’t given it, growth would have been higher” → preemptive defense

This is a built-in shield against criticism:

  • If there is no growth → it was a conscious choice
  • If you criticize it → you are anti-family

👉 This is classic emotional blackmail.


7️⃣ “I would have chosen this too” → personal identification

Technique: subjective closure
The ending offers not data, not arguments, but emotion.

👉 Goal:
To stop the audience from thinking further and encourage identification instead.


🔚 Overall picture – what is really happening?

This text:

  • does not explain — it absolves
  • does not measure — it tells stories
  • does not seek accountability — it deflects
  • does not invite debate — it sets a moral trap

Stagnation is no longer failure, but a “noble sacrifice.”
A planning error is no longer an error, but “preparing for peace.”
Criticism is no longer legitimate, but “anti-family.”

This is not economic analysis, but political self-justification — after the fact.

Szentkirályi is now clinging to anything she can — even if it’s a lie. For her, the only thing that matters is big numbers: if they look good, that’s enough. Whether they’re true? Who cares.

The week starts with a record — in tourism, no less. The latest tourism figures for 2025 are out, and for the first time in Hungary’s history, the number of guests has exceeded 20 million. That’s an impressive figure. For context: tourism growth in Hungary was two and a half times the EU average. Compared to Austria, our growth rate was double; compared to Croatia, five times higher; and it even surpassed the Czech figures.

This is very good news for the Hungarian economy and for the hundreds of thousands of people who work in tourism and make their living from this sector. It also clearly shows how important it is that in 2026 the government will continue to develop Hungary’s airports, because these investments all contribute to ensuring that Hungarian tourism keeps breaking records.

And there’s another key factor here: Hungary — and especially Budapest, where most tourists arrive — is a very safe country. I believe that when people choose destinations for their trips abroad, safety plays a major role. Budapest is known as a place you can travel to safely: no terrorist attacks, no car burnings — just a city where you can relax and enjoy yourself in security.

So, full speed ahead for Hungarian tourism!

1️⃣ Record numbers = automatic success

  • Technique: triumph narrative built on big numbers (“20 million visitors”).
  • Trick: no breakdown (domestic vs. foreign, overnight stays, actual spending).
  • Missing: inflation-adjusted revenue, seasonal distortion.

2️⃣ Selective international comparisons

  • Technique: cherry-picked relative indicators (EU, Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic).
  • Problem: different base years, different post-Covid effects → apples to oranges.
  • Message: “we’re better than everyone else” — without methodology.

3️⃣ Generalizing economic benefits

  • Technique: “good for the economy, good for workers.”
  • Missing: real wage trends, seasonal employment, labor shortages.
  • Reality: the sector is under pressure; not everyone benefits.

4️⃣ Future promises: airport development

  • Technique: using future investments to validate present success.
  • Risk: promise ≠ delivery; no timeline, no identified funding.

5️⃣ Security = implicit fear framing

  • Technique: positive self-image contrasted with Western European chaos.
  • Keywords: “no terrorist attacks,” “no car burnings.”
  • Effect: implicit message — “elsewhere it’s dangerous, here there’s order.”

⚖️ Summary

This is campaign rhetoric, not policy analysis:

  • big numbers ✔️
  • selective comparisons ✔️
  • future promises ✔️
  • security fear contrast ✔️

Real questions left unanswered:

  • how much does a tourist actually spend?
  • whose revenues really increased?
  • is the growth sustainable?

Flashy? Yes. Conclusive? Not really.

Viktor Orbán’s narcissistic propagandist, Alexandra Szentkirályi, is having a meltdown…

They are now giving precise instructions to Tisza activists about what they are allowed to do and what is forbidden — like in kindergarten.

We know this because yet another internal Tisza document has been made public. According to this guide, activists are instructed to say:
“We do not sign the Fidesz petition because you lie even when you ask questions.”

In the Tisza party, taking a stand against the war is forbidden — just like their candidates are forbidden from debating or speaking to the press. And if someone still does so, they end up like the Budapest-based Tisza activist who signed Fidesz’s anti-war petition and was promptly discarded by Magyar Péter and his circle.

The one-man show continues, only now with even stronger centralization than before. But what else should we expect from someone who called his own people brain-dead? From someone who even betrayed his own wife?

Hungary needs a leader who does not put his own interests first, but the country’s. Someone who respects Hungarians, and who has repeatedly proven through his actions that he will protect Hungary from war, migration, and threats from Brussels.

That is why it is important to vote for Viktor Orbán and Fidesz on April 12.
This is the safe choice.


1️⃣ Infantilization and Discrediting

“like in kindergarten”

Technique: degrading metaphor
Goal:

  • portray the opponent’s supporters as immature and easily controlled
  • position moral and intellectual superiority

👉 A classic delegitimizing frame: they are not debate partners, but children.


2️⃣ “Internal document” – the illusion of secret knowledge

“once again, an internal Tisza document has been made public”

Technique: insider framing, exposure narrative
Effect:

  • “we know the truth”
  • the opponent is presented as a conspiratorial, manipulative organization

❗ This works even if the document’s content is unverifiable.


3️⃣ Straw man + absolutization

“in Tisza, it is forbidden to speak out against the war”

Technique:

  • one concrete case → extended to the entire organization
  • elimination of nuance

👉 A key rule of propaganda: one exception becomes the rule.


4️⃣ Deterrent example (“those who step out are punished”)

“they got rid of him/her”

Technique: fear-based narrative
Message:

  • no pluralism
  • obedience or exclusion

This is also suitable for internal destabilization, as it creates suspicion within the target group.


5️⃣ One-man-show narrative

“even stronger centralization”

Technique: portrayal of an authoritarian leader
Goal:

  • question democratic legitimacy
  • reduce the entire movement to a single person

👉 If the person falls, everything falls.


6️⃣ Character assassination (ad hominem)

“called his own people brain-dead,” “betrayed his wife”

Technique: moral annihilation
Key point:

  • no burden of proof
  • emotional shock is the objective

❗ This is no longer political criticism, but character destruction.


7️⃣ Construction of a savior contrast

“Hungary needs a leader who…”

Technique:

  • negative opponent → positive hero
  • classic messianic framing

The opponent = danger
“We” = protection, order, stability


8️⃣ The fear triangle

“war – migration – Brussels”

Technique: emotional triad
Effect:

  • sense of existential threat
  • rational judgment pushed into the background

👉 Voting becomes a survival decision.


9️⃣ “The safe choice” – closing the debate

“This is the safe choice!”

Technique:

  • elimination of decision alternatives
  • psychological closure

❗ Anyone who chooses otherwise is taking a risk.


🧠 Summary – propaganda classification

This text is:

  • ❌ not analytical
  • ❌ not debate-based
  • ✅ strongly emotional
  • ✅ polarizing
  • ✅ classic campaign propaganda

Its function:
not to persuade through argument, but to close ranks within the in-group and morally exclude the opponent.
