👉 We ended the day with a street forum in Kőbánya. A large crowd gathered, and based on many meaningful conversations, it is clear that people in Kőbánya—and in Budapest more broadly—fully understand what is at stake in the election.

It really matters who leads the country in the coming years. If the Tisza party were to come to power, Budapest residents would feel the consequences the most. Moving away from cheap Russian gas, a drastic rise in utility costs, and Tisza-imposed taxes would leave families in Kőbánya with hundreds of thousands of forints less in their pockets each year. No one wants that.

🟠 People in Kőbánya also know that on April 12, the only safe choice is Fidesz and Kristóf Szatmáry!
Go Kőbánya! Go Budapest!

What were you doing here in Kőbánya? Well, we were campaigning—19 days to go—so we were here with Kristóf Szatmáry. Originally, we were supposed to visit him at home, but in the end, we also came to see Mayor Róbert D. Kovács, so it turned into an interesting situation.

I had many very positive and engaging conversations. From what I see, people absolutely understand what this election is about. They know very well that it directly affects their wallets. It depends on the election whether we can keep utility costs low or end up paying three times as much—meaning an extra 500,000 to 700,000 forints a year thrown out the window. It also affects whether current fuel prices can be maintained—or even lowered—or whether we will have to pay 1,000 forints per liter, driving prices up across the board.

And of course, the most important question is whether we can stay out of the war in such a dangerous world and avoid its consequences. So I think more and more people understand what the right choice is—and that choice is Fidesz. Let it be so on April 12 as well.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “The election = a question of financial survival”
👉 “Tisza = rising costs, higher utility bills, chaos”
👉 “Fidesz = security, cheap energy, peace”
👉 “Budapest residents would suffer the most”
👉 “The decision is clear → there is only one right choice”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clear)

local event (“street forum, many people”)
→ sense of majority (“everyone knows”)
→ stakes amplified (“it matters who leads the country”)
→ concrete fears (utilities, fuel, taxes)
→ numbers introduced (500,000; 700,000; 1000 HUF/l)
→ existential threat (war)
→ single solution (“only Fidesz”)

👉 Classic: majority → fear → money → security → voting

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Bandwagon (illusion of majority)

👉 “many people gathered”, “everyone knows”

Goal:
create the impression this is the dominant opinion

Effect:
👉 people are more likely to align with the “majority”

2️⃣ Fear appeal (economic panic)

👉 “hundreds of thousands less money left”
👉 “500,000–700,000 HUF extra expenses”

Goal:
trigger existential anxiety

Effect:
👉 emotional decision-making instead of rational evaluation

3️⃣ False causality

👉 “Tisza → higher utility bills → inflation → financial loss”

Problem:
not proven, only asserted

Goal:
create a simple, easy-to-understand cause-effect chain

4️⃣ Manipulation with concrete numbers

👉 “700,000”, “1000 HUF/l fuel”

Goal:
create the appearance of credibility

Effect:
👉 “this must be calculated, therefore it’s true”

5️⃣ Existential threat framing (war)

👉 “whether we can stay out of the war”

Goal:
elevate the election into a survival issue

Effect:
👉 voting becomes a security reflex

6️⃣ False dilemma (no alternative)

👉 “only Fidesz is the safe choice”

Goal:
exclude all alternatives

Reality:
👉 multiple political options exist

7️⃣ Localized fear (Budapest focus)

👉 “Budapest residents would feel it the most”

Goal:
create direct personal relevance

Effect:
👉 “this affects me personally”

8️⃣ Emotional exaggeration + dramatization

👉 “throwing money out the window”
👉 “drastic increase”

Goal:
intensify negative emotional response

9️⃣ Repetition (message reinforcement)

👉 utilities, fuel, money, war repeated multiple times

Goal:
👉 anchor the message (heuristic effect)

🔟 “We talked to people” credibility framing

👉 “based on conversations, it’s clear”

Goal:
present political claims as personal experience

Effect:
👉 “this is not propaganda, this is reality”

⚠️ Overall Picture (short)

This is a textbook campaign message, combining:

• financial fear (utilities, fuel)
• security fear (war)
• majority pressure
• and a single solution

into one unified narrative.

👉 Key sentence:
“If you don’t vote for us → you will lose money and face danger.”

The collusion between Tisza and the Ukrainians could not be more obvious anymore.

A Ukrainian analyst said that Péter Magyar has to “stroke” his voters, telling them what they want to hear if he wants to win — namely, that “they do not want to send weapons and soldiers to Ukraine.” But this is just an appearance — we know exactly what’s behind it.

All of this is in line with what Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has also stated: that the Ukrainians are developing Tisza’s online mobilization network, while at the same time wiretapping Péter Szijjártó.

Hungarians do not want a puppet government that serves Ukrainian interests! As long as there is a national government, Hungary will remain a sovereign and free state, and we will protect the interests of Hungarians. That is why the only safe choice is Fidesz!

Péter Magyar has to “pamper” Hungarians before the election, because until then he must not reveal that he would send weapons to Ukraine and support them, said a Ukrainian analyst. They are asking for support, claiming that Hungarians should help with weapons — but people are saying no, no, no.

This is not the first time I’ve heard something like this, because Roland Ceber also said that now everyone on the Ukrainian side should keep quiet a bit, otherwise the truth might come out — namely that the Tisza party and the Ukrainians are closely intertwined, and both sides are interested in having a government in Hungary that does not represent Hungarian interests, but instead would, for example, admit Ukraine to the European Union in 2027, and send Hungarian money and our soldiers’ weapons to Ukraine.

Well, this is exactly what we do not want. That is why analysts are now outraged and trying to put a lock on their mouths for the next few days.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Tisza = a network serving Ukrainian interests”
👉 “Péter Magyar = deceives voters”
👉 “Opposition victory = weapons, money, soldiers sent to Ukraine”
👉 “Government = sovereignty and protection”
👉 “Election = national defense vs betrayal”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clear)

a vague source (“a Ukrainian analyst said”)
→ assumption presented as fact
→ reinforced by another claim (“Orbán also said it”)
→ building a conspiracy (Ukraine + Tisza + wiretapping)
→ existential threat (soldiers, money, war)
→ betrayal narrative (“puppet government”)
→ single solution (“only Fidesz”)

👉 Classic: insinuation → linking → fear → forced choice

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 “Ukrainians are developing… wiretapping… collaborating”

• No evidence → but presented as a complete story
• Multiple unrelated elements tied into one chain

Goal: create an image of a large, invisible enemy
Effect: distrust, paranoia

2️⃣ False source credibility

👉 “a Ukrainian analyst said”

• No name, no context
• Still used as “evidence”

Goal: imitate legitimacy
Effect: “an insider said it → must be true”

3️⃣ Mind reading / intent attribution

👉 “they are just soothing voters”
👉 “in reality they would send weapons”

• Claims intentions that were never stated

Goal: destroy trust
Effect: “what they say is a lie”

4️⃣ Fear appeal (war + money + soldiers)

👉 “they will send our soldiers”
👉 “they will give away Hungarians’ money”

• Existential triggers: life + finances

Goal: emotional shock
Effect: panic, defensive reflex

5️⃣ Enemy coalition building

👉 Blending Ukraine + EU + opposition

• Separate actors → one unified “camp”

Goal: simplify a complex world
Effect: “everyone is against us”

6️⃣ Betrayal narrative

👉 “puppet government”
👉 “not serving Hungarian interests”

• Elevates it to a moral issue

Goal: delegitimize
Effect: “not just wrong, but traitors”

7️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “either Fidesz, or a Ukrainian puppet government”

• No middle ground

Goal: narrow the choice space
Effect: forced decision

8️⃣ Repetition hypnosis (very strong here)

👉 “we don’t want it, we don’t want it…” (repeated)

• Deliberate emotional overload

Goal: shut down rational thinking
Effect: visceral rejection

9️⃣ Collapse into chaotic speech (intentional)

The text breaks down toward the end (“we don’t want it…”)

• Not accidental: emotional overload → logic fades

Goal: emotion over logic
Effect: “it feels true” reaction

⚠️ What’s especially important

This text does NOT aim to inform, but to:

👉 trigger emotions (fear + anger)
👉 provide an enemy
👉 push toward a single decision

🧠 In short: why it feels disgusting

Because it:

• manipulates → instead of arguing
• uses fear → instead of facts
• oversimplifies → instead of explaining
• tries to affect you → instead of informing

👉 Your brain detects that something is “off” → that’s why the nausea kicks in

🇺🇸 Trump once again stood up for Hungary and is encouraging Hungarians to vote for Viktor Orbán! 🇭🇺

Full message from Donald Trump:
“The highly respected Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, is truly a strong and determined leader who has proven to deliver outstanding results. He works tirelessly and loves his country and his people, just as I love the United States of America.

Viktor works hard to protect Hungary, grow the economy, create jobs, promote trade, stop illegal immigration, and maintain law and order.

Relations between Hungary and the United States reached a new level of cooperation and achievement under my administration, largely thanks to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. I look forward to continuing to work closely together so that both of our countries can move forward on this path of success and cooperation.

I was proud to support Viktor in his re-election in 2022, and it is an honor for me to do so again. Election Day is April 12, 2026. Hungary, go out and vote for Viktor Orbán.

He is a true friend, a fighter, and a winner, and he has my full support for re-election as Prime Minister. Viktor Orbán will not let the people of Hungary down. I fully stand with him. — Donald J. Trump”

Despite all kinds of intelligence interference, attempts at disruption, and provocations, Hungary is following its own path, and we will not tolerate having a puppet government imposed on us. It’s hard to stand alone, but if we have friends like this, we have nothing to fear!

Yes, this is exactly how it looks from a communication perspective: placing Trump’s endorsement message next to the Washington Post–reported Szijjártó case shows that, for Trump, Orbán is not a moral ally but a political-ideological one. Meanwhile, following the Washington Post report, AP, Reuters, and other outlets also wrote that Péter Szijjártó may have shared confidential EU discussions with Moscow; because of this, the European Commission requested explanations, while Orbán did not emphasize investigating the substance of the allegations but instead focused on the alleged wiretapping.

The key point is not that Trump “doesn’t know about it,” but that it apparently isn’t important enough for him to withdraw his support. In recent days, Trump has once again openly stood behind Orbán, while his broader circle has also visibly signaled support: according to Reuters, JD Vance’s visit to Hungary was interpreted as backing Orbán, and Marco Rubio had previously taken a supportive public tone. This reinforces that the current Trump-aligned circle in Washington still sees Orbán as a useful partner, despite the scandal.

Communication / Influence Analysis:

1️⃣ Moral whitewashing
Trump’s message does not simply support Orbán—it frames him as a moral hero: “strong,” “patriotic,” a “fighter,” a “winner.” This is classic character polishing. Its function is to shift attention away from issues and toward persona. If someone is a “fighter and winner,” scandals appear secondary. In light of the Szijjártó case, this is especially striking, as the endorsement completely detaches Orbán from the serious allegations surrounding him.

2️⃣ Selective blindness / selective morality
This is the strongest point: Trump-aligned communication frequently speaks about “sovereignty” and “national self-determination,” yet now a scandal has emerged where the allegation is precisely that Hungary’s foreign ministry may have leaked sensitive EU information toward Russia. If someone gives “full and total support” while ignoring this, it signals that loyalty matters more than principle.

3️⃣ Political utility overrides principles
The most accurate reading is not that Trump “supports Hungary,” but that he sees Orbán as a symbol within an international right-wing network. In the Trumpist worldview, Orbán represents anti-immigration policy, anti-liberal culture war, and “sovereigntist” rhetoric. Because of this, Orbán is more valuable as a symbolic ally than the Russian-related scandal is damaging. The Guardian and Reuters have also described Orbán as a central figure in European far-right / sovereigntist gatherings, strengthened from Washington ahead of the election.

4️⃣ Neutralizing the scandal through communication
Orbán’s reaction was also telling: the focus shifted not to whether the leak allegations are true, but to who allegedly wiretapped Szijjártó. This is classic reframing. The question becomes not “was there a leak?” but “who is attacking the Hungarian government?” Trump’s message perfectly fits this frame, as it does not address the allegations but instead reaffirms the leader.

5️⃣ Importing external legitimacy
For Fidesz, Trump’s support is not just support—it is imported authority. The internal message becomes: “if the U.S. president / Trumpist leadership stands behind us, then we are strong internationally.” This is especially important when the Washington Post story suggests that Orbán’s government may be closer to Moscow than to the Western alliance system. The Trump endorsement acts as a counter-image: “we are not isolated—we have strong American backing.”

6️⃣ Exposure of double standards
This is the strongest political vulnerability: if Fidesz frames all external criticism as “foreign interference,” then what do we call it when Trump openly tells Hungarians to vote for Orbán? This is, in factual terms, also a form of external political intervention. At the same time, the government labels other international criticism as attacks. Together, this creates a clear communication contradiction.

Summary (refined political formulation):

What we are seeing is not that Trump “supports Hungary,” but that he supports Orbán even when Orbán’s system is under serious allegations of Russian ties. This is not support for a country, but the protection of an ideological ally. In light of the Washington Post case, this reads less as friendship and more as cynical, power-based loyalty.

The underlying formula:

a scandal involving Russian connections
→ Trump still gives full support
→ therefore the support is not moral but power/ideology-based
→ Orbán’s value to Trump lies not in integrity but in usefulness
→ the “friendship” narrative is actually a geopolitical transaction

One strong closing sentence:

Trump’s message is not an exoneration of Orbán, but an implicit admission that for the Trumpist camp, even a system shadowed by Russian ties remains acceptable—as long as it is politically useful.

In a video, this is the Tisza “country of love.” You cannot build a country on hatred. Whoever loves their homeland, wants peace, and values secure livelihoods should vote for Fidesz and Viktor Orbán!

Come on, come on! They’ve shown up on the phone! In masks! What’s wrong with us here? In masks! “Dirty Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz! Death to Fidesz! Die! Only Tisza, that’s it! New Júrás Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz! The van is coming! Get the hell out of here! Dirty Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz! Dirty Fidesz!”

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “We = love, peace, patriotism (Fidesz)”
👉 “They = hatred, aggression, chaos (Tisza)”
👉 “The election = peace vs hatred”
👉 “The majority is normal → they are just a loud minority”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clear)

a video (“country of love” + shouting)
→ building contrast (“we are peaceful / they are hateful”)
→ highlighting extreme scenes (swearing, “drop dead”)
→ generalization (“they are like this”)
→ moral judgment (“you cannot build a country on this”)
→ political conclusion (“vote for Fidesz”)

👉 Classic: contrast → demonization → moral superiority → voting

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Moral framing (good vs evil)

👉 “country of love” vs “hatred”
👉 “patriotism” vs “shouting”

🎯 Goal:
reduce politics to a simple moral choice

💥 Effect:
you’re not choosing between programs, but between “good” and “bad”

2️⃣ Highlighting extreme behavior

👉 “Fidesz should die!”
👉 “drop dead”
👉 swearing, aggression

🎯 Goal:
show the most extreme example → project it onto the whole group

💥 Effect:
the brain perceives this as “typical”

3️⃣ Generalization (group labeling)

👉 “Tisza supporters are like this”

🎯 Goal:
turn individual behavior → into a group characteristic

💥 Effect:
you no longer see individuals, but a “dangerous crowd”

4️⃣ “We are the normal majority”

👉 “this is reality everywhere”
👉 “this is already normal”

🎯 Goal:
create a bandwagon / majority illusion

💥 Effect:
👉 undecided people tend to align with the “majority”

5️⃣ Emotional trigger + immediate political direction

👉 anger → fear → disgust
👉 “therefore vote for Fidesz”

🎯 Goal:
push decision-making in an emotional state

💥 Effect:
critical thinking is reduced

6️⃣ False binary choice

👉 “hatred” vs “peace”
👉 no middle ground

🎯 Goal:
limit the decision to two options

💥 Effect:
alternative choices disappear

7️⃣ Enemy construction (toward dehumanization)

👉 “they shout, swear, destroy”

🎯 Goal:
portray them not as political opponents, but as a “dangerous mass”

💥 Effect:
easier to reject or hate them

⚠️ What’s important to see (reality vs narrative)

👉 Every protest has extreme voices
👉 Highlighting them ≠ the full reality of the group
👉 The “love vs hatred” frame = political oversimplification

🎯 Summary

👉 This is a textbook propaganda pattern:

• cherry-picked aggressive scenes
• projecting onto the whole group
• moral contrast
• emotional manipulation
• ending with political direction

👉 In short:

incident → generalization → demonization → “we are the good ones” → vote

Look at this! According to the editor-in-chief of 444, it’s certain that Fidesz will win the الانتخابات, and he even says there’s a chance of a two-thirds majority.

It seems the momentum is starting to fade even in the pro-Tisza propaganda media… 😅
There are many of us and we will win, but for that we need to get everyone out to vote—we have to convince everyone both personally and in the digital space. Let’s stand together against blackmail and war! Let’s not allow Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Brussels to cut us off from cheap energy!

This election is also about the wallets and the future of Hungarians. In times of danger, what we need is not risk and hatred, but security, strength, and experience.
That’s why Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice!

Now take a look at how the editor-in-chief of 444 evaluates the upcoming election results:

“I expect that the Fidesz national list will get around 2.5 million votes—that’s the key point. Somewhere between 2.5 and 2.6 million. Even if they get less than 2.4, that would still be very strong.
And how much will the Tisza Party get on the national list, Péter? I’d say a maximum of 2.4 million. Boom! Around 2.4 million. Yes, roughly around 2.4.

No matter how I calculate it, the Tisza Party can win at most around 41 constituencies. But even that would require things going particularly well for them. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they only managed to win 20. The most realistic estimate is somewhere between 30 and 35. The rest would go to Fidesz.

Just think about it—even before the 2022 election, two weeks before, I was sure there wouldn’t be a two-thirds majority. I was absolutely certain.”

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “It’s already decided → Fidesz will win”
👉 “Even opposition media says so”
👉 “We are the majority → we will win”
👉 “The election = security vs chaos / war”
👉 “Mobilization = take everyone to vote”

🧩 Hidden formula (very clear)

citing a “neutral/independent” source (444)
→ building legitimacy (“even they say it”)
→ throwing in numbers (seemingly objective)
→ announcing victory in advance
→ emotional framing (war, coercion, danger)
→ binary choice (security vs hatred)
→ mobilization (“take everyone to vote”)

👉 Classic: legitimacy → inevitability → fear → action

🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ “Even opposition sources confirm us” (false credibility)

👉 “Even the editor-in-chief of 444 says…”

🎯 Goal:

break through distrust
“if even they say it → it must be true”

💥 Effect:

strengthens belief within the base
shakes the undecided

2️⃣ Pre-declared victory (bandwagon / inevitability)

👉 “Fidesz will definitely win”
👉 “even a two-thirds majority is possible”

🎯 Goal:

pull people toward the “winner” (bandwagon effect)
demotivate the opposition (“it’s already decided”)

💥 Effect:

own base: more enthusiastic
opposition: discouraged

3️⃣ Pseudo-analysis with numbers (false rationality)

👉 “2.5 million”, “2.4”, “30–35 seats”

🎯 Goal:

create the impression of expertise
make it seem data-driven

💥 Reality:

speculation → presented as fact

💥 Effect:

the brain “takes it seriously” because numbers are involved

4️⃣ Fear framing (war + energy)

👉 “war”, “coercion”, “loss of cheap energy”

🎯 Goal:

create existential threat
don’t think → react

💥 Effect:

emotion-driven decisions
rational thinking shuts down

5️⃣ Enemy coalition

👉 “Zelensky + Brussels”

🎯 Goal:

define an external enemy
simple worldview: “them vs us”

💥 Effect:

increased sense of threat
stronger loyalty

6️⃣ False dilemma (no third option)

👉 “security, strength, experience” vs “hatred, risk”

🎯 Goal:

narrow down choices
eliminate alternatives

💥 Effect:

oversimplified decision-making
reduced critical thinking

7️⃣ Mobilization command (direct action)

👉 “we must take everyone to vote”
👉 “we must convince everyone”

🎯 Goal:

activate the base
strengthen offline + online campaigning

💥 Effect:

pushes concrete behavior
creates social pressure

8️⃣ Illusion of majority

👉 “we are many and we will win”

🎯 Goal:

create a social norm
“everyone wants this”

💥 Effect:

increased conformity
undecided voters align

⚠️ What makes it truly “nauseating”

👉 Multiple layers running at once:

• pseudo-independent source reference
• made-up / uncertain numbers presented as facts
• fear + geopolitical panic
• “it’s already decided” framing
• direct mobilization

👉 This is no longer just messaging, but:

➡️ full-scale psychological pressure

🎯 In short (brutally concise)

👉 legitimacy (444)
→ inevitability (Fidesz wins)
→ numbers (illusion of credibility)
→ fear (war, energy)
→ enemy (Brussels, Zelensky)
→ binary choice
→ mobilization
