👉 Karácsony Gergely is once again pointing fingers instead of working! Instead of grabbing a snow shovel, the mayor chose the keyboard again today. While others are tirelessly helping, he is lecturing from the comfort of his office—despite the fact that there is plenty to be done. 🛑 The roads are dangerous, sidewalks are impassable, stops are slippery, and trams are disrupted. It’s time to finally get to work! Time to work, Mr. Mayor!
Video:
– Szandra! – Yes? – Karácsony has just posted that everyone is doing their job—except Fidesz. – Oh really? Then let me report that right now it is the mayor who has not done his job, because the reason we are standing here at this tram stop is that practically everyone can slip and fall…
1️⃣ False dilemma: “working” vs. “posting”
The text suggests that the mayor is either shoveling snow or communicating — as if managing city operations and providing public information were mutually exclusive. 👉 Framing error: leadership work ≠ physical snow removal.
2️⃣ Symbolic objects as scapegoats
“Snow shovel” vs. “keyboard” — a visual and emotional contrast that turns into a moral judgment. 🎯 Goal: to construct an image of laziness or comfort, instead of examining how the system actually functions.
3️⃣ Isolated location → generalization
A single slippery tram stop is presented as “proof” of failure across the entire city. 👉 Cherry picking: one local problem → narrative of total urban collapse.
4️⃣ “We are helping” vs. “He is not working”
Anonymous “others” are portrayed as hardworking, while the leader is depicted as inactive — a classic us vs. them division. 🎯 Internal enemy framing: systemic urban problems are personalized and tied to one individual.
5️⃣ Blurring of responsibility levels
The text omits:
which road sections fall under whose jurisdiction,
what priority system governs winter road maintenance,
how much time and resources are available during extreme snowfall.
👉 Technique: reducing a complex system to a personal accusation.
6️⃣ Pre-scripted “street dialogue”
The dialogue in the video is didactic; the conclusion is predetermined from the start. 🎬 Staged authenticity: “we are standing here, therefore we are right.”
Summary
This is not a critique of urban management, but character-assassination propaganda:
it does not demand solutions,
it does not present data,
it relies on emotional identification and scapegoating.
👉 Message: “If there is a problem, one person is to blame.” 👉 Reality: winter road maintenance is a planned, priority-based, time- and resource-intensive system — not something decided by a Facebook post or a single shovel.
🟠 The governance of FIDESZ has proven that Budapest can dare to dream. The nation’s capital can once again shine in its former glory. We have a future; we are proud and successful.
We have forged this alliance together. The government, the people of Budapest, and all Hungarians jointly made our capital great again.
🤝 We ask for your trust to preserve this achievement!

**“Today, Budapest’s level of development significantly exceeds the European Union average, and this is the result of joint effort. The governance of Fidesz has proven to Budapest that it can dare to dream big. That what we once believed was lost forever can be revived; that Budapest, which carried the scars of wars inflicted by murderous dictatorships for decades, can once again shine in its former glory. What’s more, it has a future — it can once again be proud and successful, and Hungary can give back to it what war took away.
This was made possible through the alliance of all Hungarians, the people of Budapest, and the national government. This alliance must be preserved. Our representatives commit to doing everything necessary to protect it.”**
1️⃣ Myth-Making and Emotional Elevation
“Budapest dares to dream again.” “The capital shines in its old glory.”
This language constructs a mythic revival narrative. There are no measurable indicators, only emotional elevation.
🤪 Whew. I see the hardcore sectarian crowd is very frustrated. Sure enough, the bile-filled comments are pouring in — usually from the same people: the now demonstrably incapable-of-thinking, mostly faceless, anonymous little “Szamuelys” desperately hunting for red points in the Tisza App. And then there are those few frustrated, lizard-shouldered guys who are routinely sent to my page to tell me how ugly I am without makeup, and then proceed to slander me with every baseless lie imaginable — starting with the claim that I’m not even a journalist, and so on. Just the usual.
But honestly, if we look inward for a moment, I think somewhere deep down we all understand the pathological frustration of these people. Just look at today. The Prime Minister began the day with a 2.5-hour press conference, answering questions from more than 60 journalists and outlining the tasks and challenges facing the government. You see, these are matters that don’t play out on social media, but in real life — in the country itself, in Parliament, in Brussels, Strasbourg, Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington.
You don’t have to agree with Orbán or with Fidesz on everything, but you can listen, you can think about why they do what they do, and you can clearly see the direction. In my view, that’s the most important thing in politics: a clearly defined direction and firm ideas — ones you may agree with or not, but at least you can think about them. Not blind fandom, but thoughts and plans that provoke reflection. That’s what’s on one side.
On the other side stands the blonde copycat, who — lacking original thoughts, coherent plans, or any consistent direction — can’t even manage a so-called “press conference” without robotically reading out frothing Facebook comments, while humiliating to the ground the female journalist who dared to ask a question of the would-be savior. What a beautiful new world it will be, where only those deemed worthy by the messiah are allowed to ask questions. Say, for example, the journalist from a “portal” created by his own brother — who surely won’t ask pre-arranged questions of the comment-section prime minister, like how well he slept the night before.
Then there’s that extremely awkward issue as well: it’s getting harder and harder for the Tisza crowd to deny good old Uncle Laci Kéri — whom even Radnai the chief bootlicker called “the first Tisza member,” and who is obviously only dropping by the Tisza headquarters for the excellent coffee. Who knows, maybe it’ll even turn out that the so-called Tisza package has something to do with the minds standing behind Péter and his circle. Oh dear — let’s hope not.
Of course, none of this will make the reality-denying fans or the idiots commenting under my posts think twice. But I don’t think that’s anyone’s goal anymore. It’s a mission impossible. The good news, though, is that they’re still a minority — otherwise they wouldn’t be this aggressive and bloodthirsty. Frustration brings out the worst in people.
No worries. I thank them as well: thanks to them, we’ve already doubled this month and generated 2.2 MILLION reach on this little page. Full speed ahead.
🤣 Mr. Radnai, the chief bootlicker, has blundered into a topic that is clearly completely foreign to him. According to the puckered-lips guy, utility cost reduction is actually not what it seems to be at all — and it’s not even true that we pay less than we would if we had to pay world-market prices for gas and electricity. In his view, utility cost reduction is not a “black-and-white fairy tale,” and Magyar Péter’s chief bag carrier even writes that “the question is not whether utility cost reduction is needed. The question is why we don’t see the real numbers, and whose business this actually is.”
Then comes the uncomfortable reality, when he asks his followers how much their utility bills have increased in recent years — and almost without exception they write: not at all. So reality paid a visit to Mr. Radnai’s page. You know, that certain forest.
Dear Mr. Márk, esteemed chief puckered-lips bag carrier! Utility cost reduction is in fact exactly what we see. The amount payable — and the very fact that, even according to your own people, utility bills have not increased in recent years — that is reality. This really is black and white, and it’s not even a fairy tale, but the lived reality of Hungarian people. Even if your supporters end up apologizing to you for it.
1️⃣ Personal attacks as an entry point (ad hominem + mockery)
“Mr. Radnai the chief bootlicker,” “the puckered-lips guy,” “the bag carrier”
👉 Function:
Delegitimization from the very first sentence
The argument is not attacked; the speaker’s status is
It pre-labels the target as “not an expert, not competent”
🎯 Propaganda technique:
Character assassination
The audience is emotionally primed against the “opponent” even before any debate begins
2️⃣ The narrative of exposing false expertise
“clearly stepping into a topic completely foreign to him”
👉 What’s happening?
No evidence is given for why the topic is supposedly foreign
The statement is presented as an axiom
🎯 Technique:
Authoritative assertion: no debate, only qualification
The criticism is based not on numbers, but on denying competence
3️⃣ “Real numbers” as a floated but undefined argument
Quoted claim:
“the question is not whether utility cost reduction is needed, but why we don’t see the real numbers”
👉 What’s the problem?
It never specifies what the “real numbers” are
No sources are cited
No alternative measurement method is defined
🎯 Classic propaganda tool:
Conceptual vagueness
The appearance of criticism without specifics → “Doubt something, but don’t know exactly what”
4️⃣ Loss of control: the comment section as hostile territory
“he asks his followers… almost without exception: not at all”
👉 This is a key moment.
Here is where:
the narrative collapses
the speaker’s own audience fails to confirm the pre-fabricated claim
🎯 Why is this dangerous from a propaganda perspective?
Propaganda relies on a closed information space
The comment section appears as empirical reality
Not statistics, but collective experience
5️⃣ “Reality paid a visit” – a visual metaphor
“That certain forest, you know.”
👉 Function:
A classic “can’t see the forest for the trees” metaphor
The opponent is framed not as malicious, but as blind
🎯 Rhetorical goal:
Building moral superiority
Portraying the opponent as mentally incapable of interpreting reality
6️⃣ Reversing the black-and-white frame
The opponent:
“it’s not a black-and-white fairy tale”
The response:
“Well, this actually is black and white… not a fairy tale, but reality”
👉 What happens here:
The criticism is turned back on the original claimant
A simple, tangible metric is used: the amount to be paid
🎯 Key point:
This is not a macroeconomic debate
The argument is made at the level of user experience
“How much is on the bill?”
7️⃣ Closing move: appropriating the legitimacy of the opposing camp
“even according to your own people, it hasn’t increased”
👉 This is the strongest line.
Why?
It uses the opponent’s internal witnesses
Not “we say so,” but “your own people say so”
🎯 Anti-propaganda weapon:
In-group defection
The narrative cracks from the inside
🧠 Overall picture – what is really happening?
This text is not about utility cost reduction itself, but about:
Undermining the credibility of “expert” criticism
Contrasting lived reality with abstract explanations
Framing the comment section as a form of popular referendum
👉 Core message:
What matters is not what you explain — but what people actually end up paying.
While the capital is buried under snow and it’s barely possible to get on or off public transport at the stops because of the snow, Gergely Karácsony once again posted about what a great job he has done — but this time even his own commenters won’t put up with it anymore and are confronting him with reality. 👇🏻
🌍 Europe’s public attention is increasingly turning toward Hungary. This is not about opinions, but about analyses: in the international arena, the continuation of the current political direction is being taken seriously as a real scenario.
📰 Politico and The Economist both examine the upcoming elections in detail, highlighting in their analyses the stable social base behind the current course.
🗳️ In April, however, it is we Hungarians who will decide what future we want: 🛡️ security or uncertainty, 📊 predictability or risk, 🇭🇺 independent decision-making or submission to external pressure.
🌱 What is at stake in this election is whether we can preserve the stability on which families, communities, and future generations can safely build.
The propaganda schema used (classic Fidesz template)
1️⃣ “Not opinion, but analysis” – pseudo-objectivity
“This is not about opinions, but about analyses”
This functions as a rhetorical shield:
it pre-emptively excludes debate,
anyone who disagrees is framed as “not understanding the analysis,”
it appeals to authority instead of providing evidence.
🟠 Fidesz governance has proven to Budapest that it can dare to dream big. That what we once believed to be lost forever can be revived; that Budapest, which has borne the scars of war for decades, can once again shine in its former glory — and more than that, that it has a future; that it can once again be proud and successful, and that Hungary can give back to it what the war of murderous dictatorships took away from it.
This could only happen through the alliance of all Hungarians, the people of Budapest, and the national government. This alliance must be preserved. And our representatives commit themselves to doing everything necessary to protect it.
Let us now look at what we believe in, and what we are asking the people of Budapest to place their trust in:
1⃣ We will preserve Budapest’s peace and security, because without peace and security there can be no development. For this reason, our good reputation reaches far across the world — let us be proud of it and preserve our capital as it is.
2⃣ Budapest is the capital of the nation, the heart and soul of the Carpathian Basin. Budapest must be worthy of being the capital of all Hungarians, and it must be ready for us to become Central Europe’s economic, diplomatic, and sporting hub.
3⃣ We will continue Budapest’s historic-scale development. We will build a city where it is good to live, work, and raise a family — a city where decisions are not something to be endured, but shaped for the people.
4⃣ Budapest’s development and functioning must not come to a halt, even if the city has leadership that is incapable of operating it. Budapest is the home and workplace of millions of Hungarians. We will guarantee the functioning of the city even if its leaders are unfit to do so.
5⃣ The future will be written in Budapest, not dictated from Brussels. Budapest will not become a testing ground for ideological experiments. It will not turn into a copy of other cities’ misguided decisions. Budapest will remain a Hungarian city — with its history, culture, and character intact.
This text is not a public policy program, but an identity- and loyalty-building campaign message.
0️⃣ Core framing: what does the text actually do?
It does not describe Budapest, but constructs an emotional narrative:
past trauma → “savior” government → grateful city → demand for loyalty → exclusion of an external enemy (Brussels)
This is a classic national redemption frame.
1️⃣ “Dare to dream big” – vague success framing
“Fidesz governance has proven to Budapest…”
🔹 Success asserted without evidence – no data – no benchmarks – no comparison
🔹 The phrase “has proven” shuts down debate: it does not argue → it declares.
👉 Propaganda technique: assertion without evidence
2️⃣ Appropriation of historical trauma
“what the war of murderous dictatorships took away from it”
Multiple manipulations happen at once:
Budapest’s historical destruction
is turned into a credit for the current government,
while no specific responsibility, era, or causal link is named.
👉 Moral credit hijacking Past suffering = present power’s legitimacy.
3️⃣ “National alliance” = loyalty lock
“This could only happen through the alliance of all Hungarians, the people of Budapest, and the national government.”
This is not cooperation, but exclusion:
those who criticize → not part of the “alliance”
those outside → implicitly “not truly Hungarian”
👉 Us vs. them framing, subtly applied.
4️⃣ 1⃣ Peace and security – empty universal value
“without peace and security there can be no development”
In 2025, the average old-age pension in Hungary was €650.12.
What does the year 2026 mean for pensioners? Well, it does not only mean the arrival of the 13th-month pension — which was introduced by this government after the left had phased it out — but also that the introduction of the 14th-month pension will begin. Pensioners will receive the first weekly installment together with the payment of the 13th-month pension.
1️⃣ First: linguistically and substantively clarified version (statement of facts)
What actually happens with pensions in 2026:
The 13th-month pension is equal to the monthly pension after the January 2026 increase, and it is paid together with the regular February pension.
The so-called “14th-month pension” is not a full extra month. In 2026, it amounts to only one quarter of a monthly pension, i.e. the equivalent of one week’s pension.
The system is phased:
each year +1 additional week is added,
it reaches the value of one full monthly pension by 2030.
👉 Therefore, in February 2026 pensioners do not receive “14 months of pension”, but 2 and 1/4 months in total.
2️⃣ What does the propaganda do? (technical breakdown)
The quoted claim:
“not only does the 13th-month pension arrive, which this government introduced after the left phased it out, but the introduction of the 14th-month pension also begins”
🔴 1. Linguistic inflation
“14th-month pension” sounds like two full extra monthly payments
In reality: one week
👉 Name ≠ substance
🔴 2. Temporal distortion (future framing)
It suggests pensioners are receiving it now
In reality:
now: 1/4 month
full amount: four years later
👉 A future promise sold as a present reward
🔴 3. Historical reframing
“the left phased it out”
Without context:
economic crisis
IMF agreement
forced austerity
👉 It does not explain — it creates a scapegoat
🔴 4. The illusion of a double gift
In February:
regular pension
full monthly amount
one extra week
All paid in one transfer → creates a “wow, that’s a lot” feeling, while on an annual level the increase is minimal.
3️⃣ The most important thing that “must not be said”
In a normally functioning economy, pensions would be value-preserving by default, not patched up with campaign bonuses.
The 13th–14th month narrative is not a welfare system, but:
a cover for missing inflation indexation
politically timed payouts
emotional manipulation (“we gave back what others took away”)
4️⃣ Short, punchy counter-comment (if you want to use it)
“Let’s not call one extra week per year a 14th-month pension. This is not an additional benefit, but a communication trick. In a normal economy, the elderly are protected not with campaign bonuses, but with pensions that retain their real value.”
Good day to everyone—except to those who deny that they vote for pro-migration and pro-war proposals in Brussels.
Péter Magyar is lying—and he has been exposed. He claims that neither he nor his party have supported any pro-war or pro-migration proposals. Reality, however, tells a very different story.
In April 2025, Péter Magyar’s representatives in Brussels unanimously supported a package that explicitly stated their intention to continue Ukraine’s full and unconditional support. The document voted through by TISZA called on the European Union to further increase financial assistance to the country at war.
They also voted yes in October 2024 to fast-track the migration pact, thereby contributing to the allocation of an additional 25 million euros for illegal migrants. Under the pact, Hungary would be required to accept 30,000 migrants every year, or otherwise face a 600 million euro fine.
TISZA is lying—they admitted it themselves: if they told everything openly, they would collapse. They are being controlled from Brussels and would do exactly what they are told.
Do not let them mislead us! Share this so the truth reaches everyone.
1️⃣ Pre-assigned guilt (“lying and exposed”)
“Magyar Péter is lying and has been exposed.”
This asserts guilt without evidence.
The word “exposed” evokes an investigative or criminal frame, even though the issue at hand is a political position, not a crime.
👉 Framing: it does not argue—it delivers a verdict.
Person concerned: Magyar Péter
2️⃣ Blurring time and context
“In April 2025… they unanimously supported…”
A complex EU document is reduced to a single label: “pro-war.”
