Yesterday, new details emerged about the Ukrainian “gold convoy” case: a former Ukrainian intelligence agent said that significant amounts of black money passed through Hungary, and some of it may have remained in the country. This is the Ukrainian army’s black money, “used to solve everything that is important to the president.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is clearly interfering in the Hungarian elections—he wants to see a pro-Ukrainian government, one that supports the war, gives money to Ukraine, and gives up cheap Russian energy. Let’s not allow Zelenskyy to have the last laugh—let’s unite against the war!

It was Zelenskyy’s former intelligence operative who exposed how the Ukrainian president is interfering in the Hungarian elections. This is a scandal. Just watch!

A former Ukrainian secret agent gave an exclusive interview to Tények. The man knows everything about Ukraine’s plans regarding Hungary. He asked that his face not be shown, because if he is recognized, he could pay with his life for what he is now revealing.

The personnel of a Ukrainian money transport convoy were handcuffed behind their backs and forced to the ground when authorities raided them a few weeks ago. The so-called Ukrainian “gold convoy” was transporting 40 million dollars, 35 million euros, and 9 kilograms of gold from Austria to Ukraine through Hungary.

But who does all this money belong to, and what was it intended for?

According to the man, this money is used by Ukrainians for activities where it is important that the transactions leave no trace. As he put it, this money “solves everything.”

It also emerged that the convoy was accompanied by a certain Hennagy Ivanovych Kuznyetsov, who for a long time was one of the most influential leaders of the Ukrainian security services. According to the Ukrainian man interviewed by our team, this is no coincidence.

He also found it suspicious that these funds were transported through Hungary in a completely irregular and primitive manner, secured only with rubber straps.

Our interviewee also said that this was not the first “gold convoy” to pass through Hungary—and that part of the money regularly remained here.

But who did the money end up with?

The answer will soon be revealed in Saturday’s broadcast of Napló.

👉 Main narrative:

“Ukraine = mafia + black money + manipulation”
“Zelenskyy = interfering in Hungarian elections”
“We = defending against an external attack”
“Election = war vs. peace”

👉 Hidden formula:
conspiracy + “secret evidence” + fear + political conclusion
→ “there is a real threat → therefore there is only one correct choice”

🔍 Influence Techniques (detailed)

1️⃣ “Secret agent” = fake credibility framing

👉 Excerpt:
“a former Ukrainian intelligence agent”, “we cannot show his face”

👉 Technique:

anonymous source → not verifiable
“his life is in danger” → dramatic validation
no evidence, only a story

👉 Goal:
👉 make you believe it’s insider information

👉 Effect:
👉 disables critical thinking (“if it’s secret, it must be true”)

2️⃣ Conspiracy chaining

👉 Excerpt:
“black money → stays in Hungary → influences elections”

👉 Technique:

linking separate elements without proof
no concrete connection → only suggestion

👉 Goal:
👉 “everything is connected in the background”

👉 Effect:
👉 paranoia + distrust

3️⃣ Specific numbers = illusion of credibility

👉 Excerpt:
“40 million dollars, 35 million euros, 9 kg of gold”

👉 Technique:

precise numbers → “this must be real”
but no source, no verification

👉 Goal:
👉 make the story feel real

👉 Effect:
👉 easier to accept the full narrative

4️⃣ Enemy framing (demonization)

👉 Excerpt:
“black money of the Ukrainian army”, “mafia-like”

👉 Technique:

Ukraine = criminal organization
political actor → criminalized

👉 Goal:
👉 shift from political debate → to crime narrative

👉 Effect:
👉 emotional rejection, fear

5️⃣ Foreign interference framing

👉 Excerpt:
“Zelenskyy interferes in Hungarian elections”

👉 Technique:

no evidence
yet a very strong claim

👉 Goal:
👉 delegitimize the opponent

👉 Effect:
👉 “this wouldn’t even be a Hungarian decision”

6️⃣ Fear framing + war narrative

👉 Excerpt:
“pro-war government”, “we must not allow it”

👉 Technique:

political choice = life-or-death issue
linked to war

👉 Goal:
👉 emotional mobilization

👉 Effect:
👉 panic-based decision-making

7️⃣ Serial “reveal” tactic

👉 Excerpt:
“it will soon be revealed”, “in Saturday’s program”

👉 Technique:

cliffhanger
story continues in episodes

👉 Goal:
👉 maintain continuous attention

👉 Effect:
👉 audience engagement + deeper narrative immersion

8️⃣ Claims without evidence + assertive tone

👉 Technique:

all statements presented as facts
no “allegedly”, no sources

👉 Goal:
👉 prevent questioning

👉 Effect:
👉 creates the feeling that “this is already proven”

⚠️ Key problem (what you’re sensing)

👉 No verifiable evidence:

no names, no documents, no independent sources
anonymous “agent” = not evidence

👉 Conclusion first → story later:

states the conclusion (interference) first
then builds a narrative around it

👉 Timing:

if the case is already “closed”
→ this is not new information, but post-hoc narrative building

🧠 Summary (short)

This text is:

➡️ not factual reporting
➡️ but a constructed propaganda narrative

Main elements:

anonymous “secret source”
seemingly concrete but unverifiable details
conspiracy chaining
external enemy (Ukraine)
election fear-mongering

👉 Real goal:
not to inform, but
➡️ to create an emotional state: fear + anger + distrust

No more evasion—today, in a recording declassified from secrecy, a former IT specialist of the Tisza Party, H.D., personally admits to the Constitution Protection Office that he was recruited.

From the testimony, it turns out that:

• the process began with a cyber training in Estonia, which turned out not to physically exist,
• he took part in a mandatory trip to Kyiv, where he met contacts who looked like Ukrainian mobsters,
• at first he was prepared for defensive actions, but later also for offensive operations;

The man admitted: “they pulled me in,” and it is clear that he was recruited for a later operation.

Therefore, the counterintelligence acted correctly when it intervened. The police officer, on the other hand, did not and could not know about all this.

For us, one thing matters: to protect Hungary’s peace and security!

Their cyber defense situation in Ukraine is not exactly outstanding, so I wanted to support them a bit, and also to collect donations for Ukraine. In this context, I carried out some volunteer activities—let me add that I never accepted any money for what I did. What I did was simply that we conducted defensive operations in Ukraine against Russian cyberattacks. We updated systems against cyberattacks by Russian hacker groups, installed and configured IDS and IPS systems, monitored and analyzed incoming network traffic, and improved the systems. Quite a few SCADA specialists didn’t really know their own systems, even though SCADA systems are quite frequently attacked, as far as I understand. And obviously, I’m not that knowledgeable about SCADA myself, but I wanted to somehow help the Ukrainian cause to defend their country.

👉 Effect:
👉 non-experts can’t verify → accept it

⚠️ Why it feels “disgusting” (and why it’s typical)

This text:

➡️ does not aim to prove
➡️ aims to create an emotional state

Specifically:

• too many strong claims
• “secret evidence”
• enemy + mafia + spies
• detailed but unverifiable story
• ends with “we will protect you”

👉 This is a classic:

👉 “fear campaign disguised as evidence”

🧩 Why they push it even if “people don’t believe it”?

This is the key:

👉 they don’t want to convince everyone

but to:

• reinforce their own base
• destabilize the uncertain
• dominate the agenda

👉 propaganda logic:

“it’s not about whether it’s true
but whether it stays in people’s minds”

Zelenskyy and Brussels have put Hungary in their crosshairs, while we have taken Hungary into our hearts.

The Ukrainians want to bleed Hungarians dry with an oil blockade, their spies have infiltrated the Tisza Party, and Péter Magyar is being pulled by the strings of pro-war leaders in Brussels and foreign multinational corporations.

Meanwhile, Tisza supporters fail to recognize that Ukrainian and Brussels-backed plans would cause severe damage to every Hungarian, and instead they join this blind hatred.

Without cheap Russian energy, every Hungarian household would lose half a million forints per year just on utility costs, fuel would cost over 1,000 forints, massive inflation would follow, and tens of thousands of jobs would disappear.

Hungary is in danger; we are living in an age of crises and wars. At such times, we must choose a leader who is strong, experienced, and stands up for Hungarians—even when his children and grandchildren are put in the crosshairs.

On April 12, let us unite against war and hatred!

Let us stand for Hungary’s peace and security!

Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main narrative:

“ Hungary = under attack ”
“ Enemy = Volodymyr Zelenskyy + Brussels + Tisza + multinationals ”
“ We = protection, security ”
“ Election = life-or-death decision ”

👉 Hidden formula:

fear + conspiracy + economic panic + heroic leader
→ “everything will collapse, only we can save you”

👉 Why is this ‘flailing’ (kapálózás)?

➡️ too many claims at once
➡️ extreme wording (“bleed out,” “crosshairs,” “their spies”)
➡️ chained narrative without evidence
➡️ mixture of panic + mobilization

🔍 Influence techniques (in bullet points)

“Hungary has been put in the crosshairs,” “bleed out,” “is in danger”

👉 Technique:

• stacking extreme threats on top of each other
• no concrete evidence

👉 Goal:
👉 trigger immediate fear

👉 Effect:
👉 rational thinking shuts down

👉 don’t see a debate partner → see a threat

👉 Effect:
👉 emotional rejection

4️⃣ Economic fear framing

👉 Example:
“every household would lose 500,000 HUF,” “fuel would be over 1000 HUF”

👉 Technique:

• extreme negative future scenario

👉 Goal:
👉 personal fear (wallet impact)

👉 Effect:
👉 “I can’t risk this”

5️⃣ False causality

👉 Example:
“without Russian energy → collapse”

👉 Technique:

• oversimplified economic model
• ignoring alternatives

👉 Goal:

8️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Example:
“Fidesz = security” (implicit: others = danger)

👉 Technique:

• reducing reality to two options

👉 Goal:
👉 eliminate alternatives

👉 Effect:
👉 binary thinking

⚠️ Why is this specifically “flailing”?

This is no longer “simple propaganda,” but overloaded defensive communication:

🔴 1. Too many enemies at once

• Zelenskyy
• Brussels
• multinationals
• Tisza
  → sign of a fragmented narrative

🔴 2. Over-the-top language

• “bleed out”
• “crosshairs”
• “spies”

→ panic communication

🔴 3. All layers at once

• geopolitics
• economy
• personal threat
• morality

→ not focused → but chaotic

🔴 4. Defense + attack mixed

• “we protect you”
• “they attack”
• “vote for us”

→ classic late-campaign tension

🧩 Summary

👉 This text:

• does not build a stable narrative
• instead stacks fear → forces fast decision-making

👉 The essence of “flailing” here:

➡️ too many claims
➡️ too many enemies
➡️ exaggerated stakes
➡️ emotional overload

→ “not a controlled message, but panic-driven mobilization”

How is it possible that money is flowing out of wartime Ukraine? According to a declassified American report, this is not a new phenomenon: during the 2022 U.S. midterm election campaign, a similar pattern allegedly emerged, when significant funds were sent to Ukraine, and according to the report, part of that money was redistributed to finance the Democrats’ campaign.

Now we are seeing another attempt of Ukrainian interference in the Hungarian election campaign. Ukrainians are no longer even hiding that they are supporting the Tisza Party, which is loyal to them, by all possible means.

Money is flowing out of Ukraine. How is this possible? I think it could be happening roughly the same way as in the 2022 U.S. campaign. Back then, as has now been declassified in an American document, the process allegedly worked like this: in 2022, hundreds of millions of dollars were sent to Ukraine in the form of various supports and grants, even though it was known that some of these applications would likely not be properly fulfilled. The expectation was that by the time this became clear, the money would already be untraceable. The alleged agreement was that, in return, Ukraine would send back 90% of these funds to support Joe Biden and the Democrats.

So what happened? Essentially the same thing that we may now be seeing again: that Ukraine attempted to interfere in U.S. elections in order to ensure that a Ukraine-friendly government would lead the United States. That plan did not succeed, and I hope that Hungarian people will remain clear-headed now as well, and will not support a Ukraine-friendly government in Hungary either, which in this narrative is represented by the Tisza Party.

🧠 Quick overview

🧠 Summary

This message:

👉 does not inform
👉 it builds a narrative

Its core message:

“the election is not a political competition, but a foreign-manipulated process where the opponent is not legitimate”

Hello, Manfred! More bikes, in more locations—and for the first time in Budapest, electric shared bikes are also waiting for you!

The Karácsony–Tisza city leadership has even managed to ruin the one capital service that everyone loved: due to their own mistakes, there will be no Bubi until June.
So the people of Budapest have taken matters into their own hands, and now here’s the solution: Manfred is launching!

The Municipality of Budapest effectively excluded Csepel Works from the tender for the new Bubi bikes, ensuring that the bikes would come from foreign manufacturers.
Both the design and the spirit of the bicycles pay tribute to the world-famous Weiss Manfréd, as innovation and development are key elements of the system. Csepel Works has been a defining symbol of Hungarian industry and local identity for nearly a century—something every Budapest resident can rightly be proud of.

In the first phase of the multi-stage project, 120–150 modern, GPS-equipped, Csepel-manufactured ELECTRIC bicycles will be launched in Csepel and then across the city.
In addition, around 2,500 traditional bikes will be available throughout Budapest!

You can always count on Manfred—not like Karácsony and Tisza! 😉

Surprise, surprise! I’m going to say good things about Manfred. Well, not Weber—but the newest Csepel bikes. Let me show you more closely what they look like: there’s an electric version and a regular, traditional one.

So what happened is that Karácsony Gergely and his team excel at making sure their friends get the right amount of premium benefits and money—but they’re far less capable when it comes to launching the Bubi 3 tender on time. As a result, we now have the unfortunate situation that there will be no Bubi until summer.

To make matters worse, the tender was written in such a way that Hungarian manufacturers—like Csepel, which produced the previous Bubi bikes and is now present on the streets with Manfred—couldn’t even participate. So supposedly, new Bubi bikes will arrive sometime in the summer from a foreign manufacturer.

But the people at Csepel are not the kind to just let this slide. Instead, they came up with what you can see behind me now in multiple parts of Budapest: electric and traditional Csepel bikes that essentially function as a shared bike system very similar to Bubi, allowing us to ride through the summer—and hopefully well beyond.

What’s more, one of its advantages—besides the electric bikes—is that it’s available much more widely across Budapest. It’s not just focused on the city center like Bubi was; it’s also accessible in suburban areas. So I think this is a fantastic innovation.

I’m really happy that it’s Hungarian, so get out there and ride it as much as you can! Just be careful how you navigate Budapest, because those bike lanes painted by Karácsony’s team aren’t always the safest.

So—go cycling, go Manfred! 🚴‍♂️

👉 Main narrative:

“We = Hungarian, functional, innovative, people-friendly”
“Karácsony–Tisza = incompetent, serving cronies, anti-Hungarian”
“Manfred = the solution”

“not like Karácsony and Tisza”
“foreign bikes”
“Hungarian manufacturer”

👉 Technique:
transforms a city mobility issue into an identity conflict:

Hungarian vs foreign
people vs elite
functioning vs incompetence

👉 Goal:
turn the bike into a political symbol

👉 Effect:
people don’t evaluate a service — they pick a side

🎯 Overall picture

This text is not simply promoting Manfred.

It’s a classic political communication package where:

• product marketing
• mobilization of national sentiment
• framing the opponent as incompetent and anti-Hungarian
• and the “we fix what they break” narrative

are fused together.

The key trick is that it elevates a bike project into a moral-political issue.
So the question is no longer whether the system is good, functional, affordable, or well-designed —
but whether you stand on the “Hungarian side” or with those who “push Hungarians out.”

🧷 In one sentence

This follows the same Fidesz-style communication pattern: take a real (or partly real) problem, frame it in national-emotional terms, build an enemy around it, and present your own project as the solution.
