It is shocking that something like this could happen: Anita Orbán of the Tisza Party and her Soros-linked journalist friend, Szabolcs Panyi, allegedly wiretapped Péter Szijjártó in cooperation with foreign intelligence services.

We had already suspected that Tisza was working together with foreign forces to overthrow the government, but we did not expect that they would already be talking about what kind of data they would hand over to their journalist ally once they come to power.

Meanwhile, Péter Magyar remains completely silent on all of this and has not commented in any way on the fact that his candidate for foreign minister, Anita Orbán, is collaborating with a Soros-linked journalist and foreign intelligence services.

It is becoming increasingly clear that two very different paths lie ahead of us. Either a Ukraine-friendly, Brussels-aligned Tisza government comes to power, or the national government remains under the leadership of Viktor Orbán, who continues to prioritize Hungarian interests and guarantees the security of the Hungarian people. That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

Alexandra, in the studio you were discussing the audio recording that was made public this morning, in which Szabolcs Panyi, a left-wing journalist linked to Tisza, admitted cooperating with foreign intelligence services. I’m interested in your personal opinion—when you first came across this news, what was your initial reaction?

I saw it this morning—I think it was on Mandiner—this roughly 10-minute audio recording, and my first reaction was shock and outrage. Shock that something like this could happen. We suspected that foreign forces might be working against us in cooperation with Hungarian actors around Tisza, but the fact that they are doing this in such a brutal way—and that they are already discussing what data they would release if they come to power—is astonishing.

Or that they are already talking about who should be dismissed or retained, and whether a Tisza-affiliated, foreign-funded, Soros-linked journalist would have a say in such decisions—that, I must say, provoked both shock and outrage in me.

From this, it is clear that the real choice before us is whether Hungary continues to have a prime minister like Viktor Orbán, who prioritizes national interests, or whether a Ukraine-friendly, Brussels-aligned, foreign-influenced government connected to intelligence services comes to power—which obviously would not represent Hungarian interests.

It is also outrageous that Péter Magyar has not spoken out on this issue at all. He has made no comment whatsoever on the fact that his intended foreign minister, Anita Orbán, maintains close personal ties with this Soros-linked journalist associated with Tisza.

If you want, I can also break this down into propaganda techniques like your previous analyses.

🔍 Core Narrative

👉 “Tisza + journalists = foreign spy network”
👉 “Péter Magyar = silence → complicity”
👉 “There are two paths: treason vs national defense”
👉 “Viktor Orbán = security and national interest”
👉 “Fidesz = the only safe choice”

---

🧩 Underlying Formula (classic campaign logic)

a disputed / unproven case
→ forced interpretation (“espionage”)
→ external enemies (intelligence services, Soros, Brussels, Ukraine)
→ internal traitors (Tisza, journalists)
→ moral panic (“they will release data”, “they will fire people”)
→ binary choice (“us vs them”)
→ political mobilization (“Fidesz is the only solution”)

👉 This does not inform — it pushes toward an emotional decision

🧠 One-sentence diagnosis

👉 This is a classic combination of “national security panic + betrayal narrative + false dilemma”, aimed not at informing but at rapid emotional mobilization before an election.

👉 Here is the First Patriotic Grand Rally – Europe’s most popular politicians gathered in Budapest!

We can see that the Western left wants change in Hungary, because they want to bring Péter Magyar to power—someone who would not be able to say no to pro-Ukrainian directives.

🚨 Brussels, in cooperation with Kyiv and the TISZA Party, is putting increasing pressure on our country, which is why it is especially important now to stand up for our sovereign position, while also rejecting war. In this, our allies fully support Hungary, which is why Europe’s strong leaders were here today. They all stand with Viktor Orbán and the national government, because we can always rely on them.

Today, we were joined by Matteo Salvini, Italy’s Interior Minister, Marine Le Pen, leader of the most popular French party, and also the leader of the Spanish right.

🟠 Go patriots—onward to victory!

---

Sandra, is May Day earlier this year? What’s going on here?
No—this is a Patriotic Grand Rally, the first of its kind. It is especially important that we meet again in an international setting, because last weekend we filled these squares once more.

Patriots play a key role in ensuring that sovereign nations can raise their voices against the federalist approach that the European Union has represented in recent years. The Patriots represent a political grouping in the EU and the European Parliament whose founding is linked to Viktor Orbán, and which is gaining strength—now the third largest political family in the European Union.

We can see the pressure coming from Brussels—not only on Hungary, but especially on Hungary—to force us into submission, to bow our heads and act as Brussels demands. That would mean saying yes to migration, yes to gender ideology, and in recent years, yes to war and its financing.

It is crucial that we have allies so that we can say no to all of this, because that is what serves the interests of the Hungarian people. What does not serve them is a government led by a party directed from abroad, representing Brussels and Ukrainian interests.

That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice—both in Europe and at home.

Yes, this is very strong, nauseating anti-EU propaganda.
If exaggeration, enemy construction, and political agitation are already their default setting, then even by that standard this is about a 9/10 on the “nausea scale.”

It’s this high because this is no longer just a simple campaign message—it operates on multiple layers at once.

The first Patriotic Grand Rally in Budapest did indeed take place today, March 23, 2026, and according to public reports, several far-right or radical right-wing European politicians attended, including Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, and Santiago Abascal. The Patriots for Europe group is also described by multiple sources as the third-largest political family in the European Parliament.

Why is this text particularly disturbing?

1️⃣ The EU is framed not as a political partner, but as an enemy

In the text, “Brussels” is not an institution or a debate partner, but essentially portrayed as an occupying power:

• “putting pressure on our country”
• “trying to crush us”
• “forcing us to bow our heads into the yoke”
• “against federalist thinking”
• “say yes to war / migration / gender madness”

This is classic enemy-construction propaganda.
It doesn’t present the EU as a space of political disagreement, but as an external oppressive center trying to break Hungary.

Technique: demonization + siege narrative
Goal: trigger anger, resentment, resistance reflex
Effect: replaces rational debate about the EU with instinctive rejection

---

2️⃣ It builds a conspiracy chain: Brussels + Kyiv + TISZA

One of the strongest propaganda moves is merging multiple actors into a single block:

• Brussels
• Kyiv
• TISZA Party
• Péter Magyar
• “the Western left”

This is classic conspiratorial chaining.
No need to prove actual connections—just placing them together creates the feeling of a coordinated foreign network working against Hungary.

Technique: association / guilt by association
Goal: turn a legitimate political opponent into a “foreign agent”
Effect: voters don’t see a debate partner, but a suspect figure

---

3️⃣ Péter Magyar is not an opponent, but a puppet

The claim that he “wouldn’t be able to say no to pro-Ukraine orders” is not criticism—it’s dehumanizing subordination.

It suggests that:

• he has no independent will,
• he does not represent Hungarian interests,
• he simply executes others’ commands.

This fits a sovereignty betrayal frame.

Technique: reduction to puppet
Goal: strip the opponent of political agency
Effect: the audience sees not a politician, but a foreign proxy

---

4️⃣ Everything is thrown into one moral package

The structure is very telling:

• migration
• gender
• war
• Brussels
• Ukraine
• TISZA

These are completely different issues, yet the text fuses them into a single, homogeneous threat.

This is one of the most effective propaganda tricks: no need to prove anything individually—just link everything to the same emotional field of fear and disgust.

Technique: threat bundling
Goal: emotional overload
Effect: “everything is connected, everything is dangerous”

---

5️⃣ The false dilemma of “war or peace”

The text implies:

• they = peace
• the opponent = war
• Fidesz = sovereignty
• TISZA = foreign control

This is a classic false dilemma.
Reality is far more complex, but the message simplifies it:

only Fidesz equals safety; everything else equals submission.

Technique: false dilemma
Goal: narrow perceived political options
Effect: voting becomes a moral panic reaction

---

6️⃣ “Patriot” as an identity weapon

Here, “patriot” is not descriptive—it’s a moral label.

If you are with them → patriot
If not → implicitly:

• globalist
• pro-Brussels
• pro-Ukraine
• anti-national

This suggests that the concept of “the nation” belongs exclusively to one political side.

Technique: identity appropriation
Goal: equate political loyalty with patriotism
Effect: critics appear “not truly Hungarian”

---

7️⃣ Leader cult in international packaging

The text doesn’t just describe an event—it suggests:

• Europe’s “strong men” stand behind Orbán
• Orbán is the center of the patriotic bloc
• the Hungarian government is historically significant, not isolated

This is a leader–nation–movement fusion.

Technique: authority import + leader amplification
Goal: present Orbán as a historic figure
Effect: elevates domestic politics into a civilizational struggle

---

8️⃣ The language itself is inflammatory

Key expressions:

• “force into a yoke”
• “crush us”
• “pro-Ukraine orders”
• “party controlled from abroad”
• “only Fidesz is the safe choice”

This is not just sharp campaign language—it’s emotional incitement.
The goal is not to persuade, but to provoke.

---

Overall picture

This is not simply EU-critical.
This is anti-EU emotional mobilization, where:

• the EU = oppressive empire
• Ukraine = foreign command center
• the opposition = foreign tool
• Orbán = protection
• Fidesz = the only escape route

That’s why the “nausea factor” is 9/10.
Not because it’s just harsh, but because it deliberately combines:

• fear-mongering,
• betrayal narratives,
• EU hostility,
• war panic,
• and leader cult.

In one sentence:
this is textbook “besieged nation + external enemy + internal traitor + savior leader” propaganda.

Another piece of evidence that Péter Magyar would never represent Hungarian interests if he came to power.

Péter Magyar, who openly collaborates with leaders in Brussels and Kyiv in the hope of replacing the current government, has now been exposed by a journalist from the innermost circles of the Tisza Party. Szabolcs Panyi — who himself stated that Anita Orbán from Tisza is his close friend — admitted that he has been cooperating with foreign intelligence services for years, even assisting them in wiretapping Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.

All of this shows that the Tisza Party is built on foreign interests and financed from abroad. Therefore, we can be certain that in no decisive matter would they take Hungarian interests into account.

We cannot take risks! In an age of dangers, Hungary needs a government that protects the safety and finances of its people. Only Fidesz is the safe choice!

I have been a journalist for eleven years. In recent years, within professional circles, it was essentially an open secret that Szabolcs Panyi collaborates with foreign intelligence services. In this recording, Panyi himself admitted that he works together with Anita Orbán, the head of the Tisza Party’s foreign affairs advisory cabinet.

What does this reveal about the Tisza Party? In my view, it reveals that foreign interests have long been deeply and inextricably embedded within the party. This is simply not a formation based on Hungarian interests, but one built, supported, and financed from abroad.

For this very reason, there is one thing we cannot expect from them: that when they have to choose, they will choose Hungarian interests. Unfortunately, we can be certain that they would never put Hungarian interests first.

Yes, this is very strong, stomach-turning propaganda. Not because it is “harsh,” but because it operates on multiple layers at once—trying to trigger disgust, fear, and a sense of betrayal simultaneously, while creating the illusion of proven facts.

In reality, there is indeed a fresh political scandal in the background: The Washington Post reported that Péter Szijjártó allegedly shared sensitive EU information with the Russians. In response, Viktor Orbán ordered an investigation into the “wiretapping” issue. According to Reuters, Szabolcs Panyi said he had provided Szijjártó’s phone numbers to a European intelligence service during an investigative process.

However, this is not the same as what the text presents as established fact: that Tisza is a “foreign-built, foreign-funded” formation, or that it would “never choose Hungarian interests.” These are political conclusions—not proven facts.

---

What is the main narrative?

The core of the text is this:

• Péter Magyar = not representing Hungarian interests
• Tisza = foreign network
• journalist = intelligence intermediary
• opposition = funded, infiltrated, irredeemably foreign interest
• Fidesz = the only safe refuge

In other words, it does not simply criticize the opponent—it places them outside the nation. This is the strongest form of delegitimization: it’s not saying “they have a bad program,” but that they are not even part of the Hungarian community.

---

Influence techniques

1️⃣ Treason framing and national exclusion

Key phrases:

• “would never represent Hungarian interests”
• “built on foreign interests”
• “foreign-funded formation”
• “would never put Hungarian interests first”

Technique:
The opponent is framed not as a political rival, but as an internal traitor.

Goal:
To prevent rational evaluation and trigger moral rejection.

Effect:
Once accepted, the audience no longer sees a political competition, but a defensive, quasi-war situation.

---

2️⃣ Guilt by association

The chain is constructed like this:

Szabolcs Panyi → foreign intelligence services → Anita Orbán → Tisza → Péter Magyar

Technique:
Not every link needs to be proven—placing them next to each other is enough to create the impression that they are all part of the same conspiracy.

Goal:
To expand an individual case into an accusation against an entire party.

Effect:
The audience concludes: “if these are connected, then everything must be true.”

Yet the Reuters report only indicates a specific claim about Panyi’s role—while the text draws far broader political conclusions than what is actually substantiated.

---

3️⃣ Jump from fact to total conclusion

One of the key manipulations:

a concrete case or recording
→ “this reveals that…”
→ entire party exposed
→ “we can be sure”
→ all future decisions will serve foreign interests

Technique: overgeneralization + false certainty

Problem:
Even if a case were true, it does not logically follow that an entire party would act against national interests in every decisive matter.

Effect:
The reader shifts from evaluating a specific claim to making a total identity judgment.

---

4️⃣ “We can be sure” – manufactured certainty

This is one of the dirtiest formulas in the text.

What happens?
It does not prove anything—it shuts down thinking.
“We can be sure” suggests the debate is over.

In reality:
Based on available reporting, several claims are disputed, and many interpretations clearly go beyond the established facts.

---

5️⃣ External enemy + internal agent schema

“Brussels and Kyiv leaders,” “foreign intelligence services,” “foreign-funded”

Technique:
Classic siege mentality narrative.

Formula:
external enemies exist → internal collaborators serve them → therefore there is an extraordinary threat.

Goal:
To reframe any dissatisfaction or scandal into a national security panic.

Effect:
The audience no longer asks “what is true?” but “who must we defend ourselves against?”

---

6️⃣ Fear-based electoral coercion

“We cannot take risks!”
“in times of danger”
“Only Fidesz is the safe choice”

Technique:
fear appeal + false dilemma

Hidden message:
This is not a democratic choice between options, but:

• Fidesz = safety
• everything else = national danger

Effect:
Voting becomes a panic reaction, not a rational decision.

---

7️⃣ Appropriation of “national interest”

The text never defines what “Hungarian interest” is. It simply presents it as if it were exclusively embodied by the ruling party.

Technique:
monopolization of national concepts

Goal:
To frame opponents not just as political rivals, but as actors against the nation itself.

Effect:
Legitimate pluralism disappears from public discourse.

---

8️⃣ Demonization of a journalist as a political tool

A crucial element is that the journalist is portrayed not as a journalist, but as a quasi-intelligence operative.

Why is this useful?
Because it transforms the press from a watchdog into an “agent.”

Effect:
Over time, all critical media can be delegitimized.

Context:
According to Reuters, Panyi did say he provided phone numbers to a European service in the course of an investigation. But the text turns this into a full-scale, politically constructed “foreign spy network.”

---

The hidden formula

This is how it works:

a disputed, partly real case
→ built into a treason narrative
→ external enemies listed
→ internal collaborators identified
→ entire opposition labeled as foreign
→ fear
→ “only we can protect you”

This is textbook propaganda escalation.

---

Why is it so repulsive?

Because it doesn’t just attack—it:

• morally contaminates
• creates collective suspicion
• triggers moral panic
• and presents political speculation as established fact

The strongest disturbing element is that it deliberately blends verifiable facts, media reports, political interpretation, and completely unproven conclusions. That’s what makes it feel sticky, oppressive, and manipulative.

---

A concise judgment

This is not analysis or information—it is mobilizing propaganda built on a narrative of betrayal.
Its goal is not to help you understand something, but to make you feel disgust, fear, and ultimately that you have no choice.

Unacceptable: Péter Magyar’s foreign minister-designate and his Soros-backed “journalist” friend worked hand in glove with foreign intelligence services to wiretap Hungary’s foreign minister!

Péter Magyar, who is openly colluding with leaders in Brussels and Kyiv in the hope of toppling the government, has now been exposed by a journalist from the Tisza Party’s innermost circles. Szabolcs Panyi admitted that he has been cooperating with foreign intelligence services for many years, helping them wiretap Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, and in return for his assistance he also gained access to the information they obtained.

The journalist acknowledged that he works closely with Anita Orbán, Péter Magyar’s candidate for foreign minister, and that under a Tisza government he would have access to any foreign ministry information, could decide who should work there, and would also have influence over decisions made within the party.

Panyi, a journalist funded and decorated by the Soros network, was previously a member of Anita Orbán’s campaign team and is still providing professional support to the Tisza politician who advocates for Ukraine’s NATO and EU membership.

Now they have all been exposed: if Tisza were to come to power, Hungary’s foreign ministry would from that point on serve not Hungary, but foreign interests.

We will not let this happen! Hungary needs not a pro-Ukraine government, but a national government!

Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Manipulation Techniques

1️⃣ Labeling

Keywords:

“soros-backed”
“spy”
“pro-Ukraine”
“traitor”

👉 Mechanism:
➡️ does not prove → labels instead
➡️ triggers emotional reactions (anger, disgust)

---

2️⃣ Narrative Reversal (VERY IMPORTANT)

This is what you also noticed.

👉 The baseline situation could be:

something happened (e.g. leak, surveillance, information)

👉 Propaganda version:
➡️ the question is not what happened
➡️ but: who is the “bad side”

And here comes the twist:

👉 the whistleblower becomes the culprit

This is classic:

🪞 projection / mirror technique

3️⃣ Conspiracy Framing

“foreign intelligence services”
“Soros network”
“Brussels + Kyiv”

👉 goal:
➡️ connect everything into one large, threatening system
➡️ avoid the need for concrete evidence

---

4️⃣ Fear Appeal (existential level)

Key message:
👉 “Hungary’s foreign policy would no longer serve Hungary”

👉 effect:
➡️ not a political debate
➡️ but a national security panic

---

5️⃣ False Dilemma

👉 “either us, or the traitors”

➡️ no middle ground
➡️ no criticism
➡️ no nuance

6️⃣ Authority + Closure

👉 “Fidesz is the safe choice”

➡️ the goal of the entire text:
not to inform → but to shut down thinking

---

⚠️ The Core Distortion (what you pointed out)

This is the key:

👉 normal logic:

if someone exposes wrongdoing → they are a source / whistleblower

👉 propaganda logic:

the one who exposes → is the criminal

This is powerful because:

➡️ it diverts attention from facts
➡️ shifts the debate into a moral battlefield
➡️ kills critical thinking

---

🧠 Brutally honest summary

This text:

👉 does not prove
👉 does not analyze
👉 does not question

instead it:

➡️ creates enemies
➡️ generates emotion
➡️ asks for votes

The Tisza Party is as essential to Brussels as a piece of bread. For Hungary, however, it would be the last bite.

In a large community like the European Union, where 27 member states must reach agreement on the most important issues in accordance with EU treaties, this is no coincidence. We did not invent this—this has been the case since the very beginning. The founders’ goal was to allow countries smaller than the largest member states to join the EU without fearing that they would be unable to assert their national interests simply because they have fewer votes proportionally in matters that affect their very existence. That is why, since the “birth” of the Union, striving for unanimity has been a fundamental principle, guaranteed by the institution of the member state veto. This is essentially in the interest of every member state, as it ensures that other countries cannot unite against the fundamental interests of one or more states simply because they are larger or more numerous.

Unanimity is also required for the accession of a new member state. This was the case for Hungary and the countries that joined alongside it. We fulfilled all the conditions of membership and were admitted into the community of joint decision-makers. We opened our markets, harmonized our laws, and entrusted part of our common affairs to EU institutions—the shared administrative bodies of the member states. At the same time, in order to protect fundamental national interests, certain matters remain under national competence, and the veto ensures protection for all in major decisions. “Veto matters” include foreign and security policy, taxation, the common seven-year budget, own resources, enlargement, and a significant part of justice and home affairs, including family policy. Amendments to the EU treaties also require unanimity.

And this is a crucial point. The founding treaties include the possibility of veto for every member state, but they do not allow for the expulsion of a country from the Union. The most extreme anti-Hungarian representatives and political groups regularly test these limits whenever we refuse to vote as they would like. The treaties themselves are protected from such changes precisely by the veto, since any modification requires the agreement of all member states.

It is in Brussels’ interest to have a Hungarian government that allows the treaties to be amended and agrees to abolish the veto. This would open the way to ending consensus-based decision-making and replacing it with majority voting. That would mean the end of Hungary’s sovereignty. When we make our decision in April, we are not only deciding who will govern Hungary. We are also deciding whether to protect Hungary’s sovereignty and independence, or to allow Brussels’ representatives to throw away the only tool that has enabled us to say no when necessary to decisions that would endanger Hungary’s peace and security.

But the veto itself is only a tool, even if it is a crucial one. The most important thing is that the country is led by someone who is willing and able to use it in the interest of Hungarians, and who can say no to reckless ideas that threaten our future.

That person is Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary.

On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice.

🧩 Underlying Formula

EU institutional explanation

“For Hungary, this would be the last bite”

Technique:
➡️ extreme consequence (end of the country)
➡️ no nuance, no middle ground

Goal:
➡️ trigger anxiety, survival instinct

Effect:
➡️ rational debate is pushed aside

---

2️⃣ False Simplification (complex system → one cause)

Narrative:
➡️ “no veto → end of sovereignty”

Technique:
➡️ reduces a complex system to one dimension

Goal:
➡️ make it easy to understand, but distorted

Effect:
➡️ overemphasizes a single element

---

3️⃣ External Enemy Framing (Brussels as a single will)

Technique:
➡️ “Brussels” portrayed as a unified, intentional actor

Claim:
👉 “Tisza = Brussels’ people”

Technique:
➡️ delegitimizing the political opponent

Logic:
removal of veto
→ majority decision-making
→ end of sovereignty

Technique:
➡️ skipping intermediate steps
➡️ automatic collapse narrative

Goal:
