Hungarian in the crosshairs.

Zelensky and his soldiers are issuing deadly threats against Viktor Orbán, his children, and his grandchildren. They want to destroy Hungary and the lives of all Hungarians through an oil blockade.

Ukrainians have infiltrated the Tisza Party, while Péter Magyar is being manipulated by pro-war leaders in Brussels and foreign multinationals.

Meanwhile, Tisza supporters are joining in the hatred and are themselves drawing a crosshair on Orbán Viktor’s poster.

People! Don’t you understand that what the Ukrainians are doing, and what Tisza is preparing for, is bad for every Hungarian?

That without Russian oil and gas, with MOL being dismantled and Shell LNG replacing it, every Hungarian household would lose half a million forints a year just on utility bills? That petrol would cost 1,000 forints, triggering brutal inflation? That expensive energy would destroy jobs?

Let’s come to our senses. Let’s listen to our minds, our wallets, and our Hungarian hearts: let’s vote for Fidesz!

Well, this is what the so-called Tisza “country of love” looks like in practice. This poster is out here with a message saying, “let’s unite.” And then a crosshair gets drawn onto the Hungarian prime minister’s forehead. This comes after the Ukrainians had, almost literally, put a crosshair on the prime minister’s forehead. President Zelensky, together with a Ukrainian lieutenant general, threatened the Hungarian prime minister, even mentioning his grandchildren and children. I believe such things should never be used, not in politics and not in a campaign. And in light of what has happened in recent weeks and months on the Ukrainian side, even less so. So enough of this Tisza hate-mongering already, and let real unity finally begin.

1️⃣ Total threat framing (fear overload)

👉 “deadly threats,” “crosshairs,” “war,” “destroying the country”

Technique:
➡️ stacking extreme dangers on top of each other
➡️ no evidence, only strong, emotionally charged words

Goal:
👉 immediate emotional shock (fear + anger)

Effect:
👉 the brain switches into “threat mode” → no rational evaluation

2️⃣ Conspiracy narrative (conspiracy framing)

👉 “Ukrainians have infiltrated,” “they’re being controlled like puppets,” “foreign multinationals”

Technique:
➡️ invisible background forces
➡️ unverifiable claims

Goal:
👉 make every opponent automatically suspicious

Effect:
👉 distrust → “there must be something behind everything”

3️⃣ Economic panic (economic fear framing)

👉 “fuel at 1000 HUF,” “half a million in utility costs,” “jobs will disappear”

Technique:
➡️ extreme numbers without context
➡️ oversimplified cause-and-effect

Goal:
👉 trigger fear through personal finances

Effect:
👉 “if this happens → I’m ruined”

4️⃣ Enemy + betrayal (enemy framing)

👉 “pro-Ukrainian,” “foreign interests,” “Tisza = danger”

Technique:
➡️ political opponent = external enemy
➡️ not a debate → framed as “betrayal”

Goal:
👉 moral rejection instead of rational discussion

5️⃣ Emotional overload (overload)

👉 everything at once:

• war
• death
• economic collapse
• betrayal
• threat to family

This is the key.

Goal:
👉 overwhelm processing → force reaction

Effect:
👉 exactly what you described:
👉 “nausea,” “mental overload”

🧩 The hidden formula

👉 fear + enemy + conspiracy + financial shock + urgency
➡️ “if you don’t vote for us, you’ll be in danger”

⚠️ What’s especially important

👉 This is not an informational text, but:
➡️ emotional manipulation

👉 Exaggeration is not a mistake, it’s intentional:
➡️ the more extreme, the stronger the effect

👉 The fact that “everything is mixed together”:
➡️ is a deliberate technique (stacking)

🧠 Why it feels so bad

Because:

• too many negative stimuli at once
• no logical anchor
• constant sense of threat
• made personal (family, money, future)

👉 This is essentially psychological pressure

🧾 In short (very briefly)

👉 This text doesn’t aim to prove anything—it aims to scare you and push you into an emotional political decision.

Do you know that joke where Gergely Karácsony suddenly starts worrying about “foreign interference”?

There are moments when you are simply left searching for words.

This is one of them: hearing “sincere concern” from a mayor whose name has been linked to donation boxes, rolling dollars and euros, and who is deeply tied to the Bajnai-era DatAdat scandal together with Action for Democracy.

It is a bit strange to hear these concerns from him of all people, especially since Karácsony himself was the one who built up the opposition campaign with these vaguely sourced foreign funds. Mr. Mayor, silence is sometimes golden, and perhaps you would do better to sweep in front of your own house first.

Gergely Karácsony really does have skin as thick as a rhinoceros, because now he is the one pretending to worry about foreign interference — though, of course, not about Ukrainian foreign interference, just so there is no misunderstanding. And all this is being said by the very same Gergely Karácsony whose name is associated with donation boxes, rolling dollars and euros, and the Bajnai-style DatAdat scandal together with Action for Democracy. So I think Karácsony would do better, once again, to start by cleaning up around his own house.

👉 Main narrative:

Karácsony Gergely = hypocritical, “a man of foreign money”
“We” = morally cleaner, more credible side
“He” = untrustworthy, corrupt, ridiculous

👉 Underlying formula:
delegitimization + mockery + insinuation of corruption
→ “don’t take what he says seriously”

🔍 Influence Techniques (in points)

1️⃣ Mockery and Ridicule (mockery framing)

👉 Example:
“Do you know the joke…”, “he’s searching for words”

👉 Technique:

• the statement is framed as a “joke” from the start
• this instantly strips the target of seriousness

👉 Goal:
👉 don’t think about it → laugh at it

👉 Effect:
👉 the audience doesn’t look for arguments, but looks down on the person

2️⃣ Hypocrisy Attack (tu quoque)

👉 Example:
“he’s the one worrying about foreign interference”

👉 Technique:

• “you did it too → you have no right to talk”
• classic tu quoque fallacy

👉 Goal:
👉 total delegitimization without real debate

👉 Effect:
👉 focus shifts from the issue → to the person

3️⃣ Insinuation Without Evidence

👉 Example:
“rolling dollars”, “money of unclear origin”

👉 Technique:

• strong imagery without concrete proof
• “where there’s smoke, there must be fire”

👉 Goal:
👉 create a sense of corruption

👉 Effect:
👉 the audience connects the dots in their head, even without evidence

4️⃣ Guilt by Association

👉 Example:
Bajnai Gordon, DatAdat, Action for Democracy

👉 Technique:

• linking multiple negatively framed actors
• implicit message: “they’re part of the same network”

👉 Goal:
👉 build the image of a large, suspicious system

👉 Effect:
👉 increased distrust → “something isn’t right”

5️⃣ Moral High Ground Framing

👉 Example:
“he should clean up his own house”

👉 Technique:

• moral judgment instead of political argument
• “we are clean, he is not”

👉 Goal:
👉 legitimize one’s own side

👉 Effect:
👉 emotional identification (“we are better”)

6️⃣ Repetition (reinforcement)

👉 Technique:

• repeating the same claims multiple times
  (foreign money, DatAdat, etc.)

👉 Goal:
👉 imprinting

👉 Effect:
👉 the audience starts treating it as a “fact”

⚠️ What Matters

This text is not trying to inform, but to:

• trigger emotions (disgust, anger)
• build an enemy image
• discredit a person, not an argument

And it worked → it triggered anger. That’s exactly the goal.

🧩 In Short

👉 This is a classic character attack + mockery + insinuation combo
👉 Zero concrete evidence, strong emotional imagery
👉 Not a debate → but emotional manipulation

We do not accept that Ukrainian services are trying to influence the Hungarian elections.
We call on Zelenskyy to recall his hounds! There will be no pro-Ukrainian government here.

Kyiv has turned Hungary into an operational field for intelligence services; Ukrainian agents are coming and going, infiltrating the Tisza Party and carrying out intelligence operations. We do not accept that Ukrainian manipulation should influence the outcome of the Hungarian elections. Show more respect for Hungary—we will decide for ourselves what kind of government we want.

The stakes of the election are whether Hungary will have a national government or a pro-Ukrainian one. If we end up with a pro-Ukrainian government, we will be dragged into the war and Hungarian families will be stripped of their money. If, however, we have a national government, we will say no to the war and protect Hungarians’ money.

We call on Zelenskyy to recall his hounds! There will be no pro-Ukrainian government here.

Good morning to everyone—except those who cozy up to Ukrainian and other intelligence services against the Hungarian people.

🧠 Quick Situation Overview

👉 Main narrative:

• “Tisza = Ukrainian intelligence / foreign influence”
• “Ukraine = threat + war + looting”
• “We = national protection”
• “Election = survival vs. betrayal”

👉 Underlying formula:

fear + external enemy + betrayal + existential stakes
→ “if you don’t vote for us, the country will be in danger”

🔍 Influence Techniques (in points)

1️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“Ukrainian spies are coming and going… they have infiltrated the Tisza Party”

👉 Technique:

• specific but unproven claims
• “intelligence services” = automatic escalation
• reference to a closed, unverifiable system

👉 Goal:
👉 make it impossible to refute (“secret” → cannot be proven)

👉 Effect:
👉 paranoia + distrust toward the opponent

2️⃣ Enemy construction (external threat)

👉 Excerpt:
“Kyiv has turned Hungary into an operational field”

👉 Technique:

• framing a country as an active aggressor
• shifting from politics → to “intervention”

👉 Goal:
👉 elevate the conflict into an international threat

👉 Effect:
👉 “this is no longer politics → this is pre-war territory”

3️⃣ Dehumanizing language

👉 Excerpt:
“call back his hounds”

👉 Technique:

• reducing the opponent to an animal level
• emotional shock

👉 Goal:
👉 morally justify hostility

👉 Effect:
👉 increased aggression, reduced empathy

4️⃣ False causality (oversimplification)

👉 Excerpt:
“pro-Ukrainian government → dragged into war → families looted”

👉 Technique:

• linear, simplified chain
• no evidence, no alternatives

👉 Goal:
👉 force quick decision-making

👉 Effect:
👉 “if X happens, catastrophe is guaranteed”

5️⃣ False dichotomy

👉 Excerpt:
“national or pro-Ukrainian government”

👉 Technique:

• only two options presented
• no middle ground

👉 Goal:
👉 narrow thinking

👉 Effect:
👉 “if you’re not with us → you’re against us”

6️⃣ Fear framing (existential threat)

👉 Excerpt:
“they will drag us into war… loot Hungarian families”

👉 Technique:

• personal level (family, money)
• future threat

👉 Goal:
👉 trigger immediate emotional reaction

👉 Effect:
👉 rational evaluation shuts down

7️⃣ Repetition (propaganda reinforcement)

👉 Excerpt:
“We do not accept… We do not accept… We call on…”

👉 Technique:

• repeating key phrases

👉 Goal:
👉 imprinting

👉 Effect:
👉 “it feels true because you hear it often”

8️⃣ “We decide” – sovereignty framing

👉 Excerpt:
“we will decide what kind of government we want”

👉 Technique:

• positive framing (independence)
• built on top of fear narrative

👉 Goal:
👉 legitimize the message

👉 Effect:
👉 harder to oppose (“who would be against sovereignty?”)

⚖️ Overall Picture (very important)

This message is not meant to inform, but to:

👉 create an emotional state:

• fear
• anger
• distrust
• “us vs. them”

👉 and force a decision:

“security = them
danger = everyone else”

🧩 What makes it especially strong

This is no longer simple campaigning, but:

• intelligence conspiracy
• external enemy
• internal traitor
• war-level threat

➡️ This is a classic full-spectrum propaganda package

🧠 Reality check (brief, objective)

• claims of this magnitude require concrete evidence
• “intelligence service” references are often unverifiable
• the linear “they will drag us into war” logic → political oversimplification

🔚 In short

👉 This message is:

• strongly fear-based
• built on conspiracy framing
• constructs an enemy image
• and forces a binary choice

🗣 István Kapitány admitted that TISZA would abolish protected prices and utility cost reductions!

A TISZA government coming to power would mean the end of utility price caps and protected fuel prices. This would bring brutal price increases—fuel prices reaching 1,000 forints per liter and household utility bills tripling, punishing Hungarian families.

👉 TISZA’s billionaire energy lobbyist, István Kapitány, openly stated that, representing multinational companies’ interests, he would abolish price caps and special taxes, which the national government uses to finance pensions and family support. This policy would undermine the livelihoods of Hungarian people and serve Brussels’ interests instead of Hungary’s.

We must not allow Péter Magyar’s pro-Brussels and pro-Ukraine policies to ruin Hungarian families!

🟠 As long as the national government remains in power, we guarantee Hungary’s peace, security, and low energy prices—that is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

That’s why it’s not easy to be a TISZA supporter. Imagine having to call Fidesz liars all day, claiming that TISZA would not abolish protected prices, price caps, or utility cuts.

But then this is exactly what was said by the “Shell captain” himself. He said the state needs to be simplified, with much less intervention, fewer special taxes, and far fewer price caps.

What do you think about that?

He’s essentially saying what we already know about TISZA’s plans: even in their previously denied program, it became clear—they want to phase out extra taxes on multinationals, eliminate price caps, and bring in 1,000-forint fuel.

People will also think about their wallets when they vote, so hopefully on April 12 they will make a smart decision—and vote for Fidesz.

🧠 Quick situation overview

👉 Main narrative:

• “Tisza = will abolish price caps → brutal price increases”
• “We (Fidesz) = protect low prices”
• “Election = your wallet vs. risk”

👉 Hidden formula:

fear + financial shock + simplified cause-effect
→ “if you don’t vote for us, you’ll become poorer”

🔍 Influence techniques (in points)

1️⃣ Fearmongering with concrete numbers

👉 Example:
“1000 HUF fuel”, “triple utility bills”

👉 Technique:
➡️ throwing in extreme numbers
➡️ no context (market prices, global factors, taxes)

👉 Goal:
👉 trigger immediate emotional reaction (panic)

👉 Effect:
👉 people stop calculating → they just fear

2️⃣ False cause-effect (oversimplification)

👉 Message:
“price cap removed → everything becomes brutally expensive”

👉 Reality:
➡️ prices are not determined only by the state
➡️ global market, taxes, exchange rate, demand all matter

👉 Technique:
➡️ reducing everything to a single factor

👉 Goal:
👉 simple but distorted explanation

3️⃣ Enemy construction

👉 Example:
“multinational companies”, “Brussels”, “pro-Ukraine”

👉 Technique:
➡️ external enemy + internal “traitor”

👉 Goal:
👉 emotional alignment:
👉 “us vs. them”

4️⃣ Stating intentions without evidence

👉 Example:
“they want to introduce 1000 HUF fuel”

👉 Technique:
➡️ assumption presented as fact

👉 Goal:
👉 don’t question → just accept

5️⃣ Amplifying a cherry-picked quote

👉 What was said:
“less price caps, less intervention”

👉 Reframed as:
👉 “they will abolish them → brutal price increases”

👉 Technique:
➡️ partial quote → extreme conclusion

6️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Message:

• either Fidesz → low prices
• or Tisza → price explosion

👉 Reality:
➡️ multiple economic policy options exist

👉 Goal:
👉 simplify the decision

⚖️ Economic part (this is the key)

Now comes what you said — and this is not propaganda, but economics.

✔️ Effect of price caps

👉 In short:

• short term: lower prices → popular
• long term: market distortion

👉 Typical consequences:

• shortages (e.g. fuel)
• loss-making providers
• hidden costs elsewhere
• state budget burden

✔️ What happens if they are removed?

👉 Short term:
➡️ prices may increase

👉 Long term:
➡️ market stabilizes
➡️ supply recovers
➡️ shortages disappear

✔️ The “1000 HUF fuel” claim

👉 This is not an automatic outcome

Prices depend on:

• global oil prices
• exchange rate (HUF)
• taxes (this is the biggest factor!)
• government policy

👉 So:
➡️ it’s a combination of politics + market forces

🧠 Summary

👉 What you’re saying:

✔️ yes, price caps are economically distortive
✔️ they are unsustainable in the long run

👉 What the message does:

❌ oversimplifies the issue
❌ adds a “catastrophe narrative”
❌ builds a political fear campaign on top of it

🔥 Bottom line

• Price caps are not “good or bad”
  👉 they are a short-term political tool
• Their removal:
  👉 does NOT automatically mean collapse
• The communication:
  👉 is deliberately exaggerated and dramatized

Yesterday, at one of Tisza’s events, one of their candidates literally attacked and locked in a car the person who tried to use a drone to show that the so-called “flood” was actually just drying up.

These are rather peculiar methods from the representatives of the supposedly “loving country of Tisza,” but what else can we expect from people who know only how to sneer and insult, while not being willing for a single moment to stand up for Hungarian interests?

In 16 days, on April 12, let us vote for love, choose the safe option, choose Fidesz!

The “loving country” of Tisza has now reached the point where, yesterday, one of their candidates attacked the person who tried to send up a drone at their event precisely in order to show how many Tisza supporters were actually there. They surrounded him and would not let him leave. I do not understand what the problem of the Tisza supporters is. Are they afraid that the photos will reveal that perhaps they are not as many as they like to claim? Are they afraid that it will become clear that more and more people are raising their voices and standing up against the blackmail, and against the foreign influence that Tisza, backed by the Ukrainians and Brussels, wants to impose here together until April 12?

Well, I think that the majority of people still want calm, sober, predictable, and safe leadership, and not madmen who are aggressive, who shout, and who physically abuse someone simply because that person thinks differently about the world than they do.

🧠 Quick Overview

👉 Main narrative:

“Tisza = violent, aggressive, dishonest”
“We (Fidesz) = calm, safety, love”
“Election = safety vs. danger”

👉 Underlying formula:
fear + anger + enemy construction + moral superiority
→ “don’t think, just reject them”

🔍 Manipulation Techniques (in points)

1️⃣ Amplifying a single case (generalization)

👉 Excerpt:
“one of their candidates attacked…”

👉 Technique:

a single (unproven / decontextualized) incident
→ projected onto the entire group

👉 Goal:
👉 “they are all like this”

👉 Effect:
👉 distorted perception → sense of collective guilt

2️⃣ Dramatization of violence

👉 Excerpt:
“attacked and locked him in a car”

👉 Technique:

strong, shocking wording
no evidence, no details

👉 Goal:
👉 trigger emotional shock

👉 Effect:
👉 fear + disgust → rational thinking shuts down

3️⃣ Demonization of the opponent

👉 Excerpt:
“they can only snarl and insult”
“crazy, aggressive”

👉 Technique:

dehumanizing labels
moral degradation

👉 Goal:
👉 not a political opponent → but a “dangerous group”

👉 Effect:
👉 increased hatred and rejection

4️⃣ “We = good, they = bad” (false dichotomy)

👉 Excerpt:
“let’s vote for love… choose the safe option”

👉 Technique:

artificial choice:

• one side = love
• the other = violence

👉 Goal:
👉 eliminate middle-ground options

👉 Effect:
👉 oversimplified worldview → easier manipulation

5️⃣ Fear framing + security framing

👉 Excerpt:
“safe leadership vs. lunatics”

👉 Technique:

election framed as a question of physical safety

👉 Goal:
👉 not a political decision → but self-defense

👉 Effect:
👉 instinctive reaction (avoid “danger”)

6️⃣ Attribution of intent (mind reading)

👉 Excerpt:
“they are afraid it will be revealed…”
“they won’t let him go…”

👉 Technique:

assigning motives without evidence

👉 Goal:
👉 discredit the opponent

👉 Effect:
👉 reader treats assumptions as facts

7️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“together with Ukrainians and Brussels”

👉 Technique:

involving foreign actors
“hidden power” narrative

👉 Goal:
👉 create a sense of betrayal

👉 Effect:
👉 strong emotional reaction (anger + distrust)

8️⃣ Repetition (core propaganda technique)

👉 the same story told twice

👉 Technique:

repetition = illusion of truth

👉 Effect:
👉 “if I hear it often → it must be true”

⚠️ Why it feels disgusting

Not by accident:

👉 because the text:

doesn’t inform → it agitates
doesn’t prove → it asserts
doesn’t nuance → it builds a black-and-white world

👉 and meanwhile:

generates anger
creates fear
manufactures an enemy

This combination creates strong psychological pressure → that’s why you feel that “nausea”.

🧩 In short (essence)

👉 This is not information, but:

• emotional manipulation
• enemy construction
• fear-based mobilization

👉 goal:
to extract votes through emotional reaction, not rational decision-making
