🚨 In times of war, an oil blockade is particularly dangerous. Zelensky keeps making promises, while there is no real obstacle to restarting the Druzhba oil pipeline. By now, it is completely clear that the Ukrainian president is acting against the Hungarian people. He wants to see fuel prices at 1,000 forints per liter in Hungary, which is why he is unwilling to allow our investigative committee to enter the country.

Péter Magyar, meanwhile, remains silent on the issue. Once again, we see that the leader of the left is incapable of saying no to instructions coming from Kyiv.

🟠 The national government will not give in to blackmail. We stand against the war and for Hungarian interests — which is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

It is not as simple as replacing cheaper eastern oil with more expensive western oil, because it also has to be processed — and that may require modifications that take one and a half to two years. So what happened today, partly because of the war involving Iran, and what Zelensky did by shutting down the Druzhba oil pipeline, effectively placed Hungary under an oil blockade.

If we did not know the Ukrainians — including their president, who certainly knows how to look after his own interests — and if we had not prepared for this possibility and maximized our reserves, as we have done (in a way only partially visible to the public), we would be in serious trouble today. That would mean that combined with rising global market prices and the oil blockade, fuel prices could indeed skyrocket — even up to 1,000 forints or more per liter.

There is also the risk that a significant portion of the revenue generated from this oil could disappear if we were to forget past arrangements. To put it politely, we ask the companies involved to contribute to the utility price reduction fund, and they do so. The support necessary for maintaining reduced household utility prices — which you receive — is paid in part from these revenues.

So while we are talking only about oil, if oil supplies stop and we cannot resolve the situation, there will not be enough money for utility price reductions either. And in that moment, oil — which may seem like a distant industrial issue — is suddenly in your pocket and in your home.

What Zelensky has done now is not against Hungarian industry, not against MOL — it is against every single Hungarian citizen.

1️⃣ “Oil blockade” = Framing it as a military attack

Technique:

• “Oil blockade”
• “We have been attacked”
• “In times of war, this is especially dangerous”

An economic/logistical dispute is elevated into a military category.

Goal:

• Maximize the sense of danger.
• Reframe it from a policy debate into a national security issue.

Effect:

• The audience perceives not a technical or market problem, but a hostile act.
• Criticism becomes associated with the shadow of disloyalty.

---

2️⃣ Personalized enemy image – Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Technique:

• “He is acting against the Hungarian people.”
• “He wants to see 1,000-forint fuel prices in Hungary.”

Concrete intent is attributed without evidence.

Goal:

• Trigger moral outrage.
• Attach anger to a specific individual.

Effect:

• Not a “war environment” or a “sanctions dispute,”
  but deliberate ill will by a named actor.

---

3️⃣ 1,000 HUF fuel price – Psychological price threshold

Technique:

• Introducing an extreme number (“1,000 forints”).
• Conditional future projection (“prices could skyrocket”).

Goal:

• Create a concrete, emotionally accessible fear scenario.
• Tie energy policy directly to people’s wallets.

Effect:

• The audience stops weighing geopolitical factors
  and starts thinking about personal financial survival.

---

4️⃣ Utility price caps as a defensive shield

Technique:

Oil → state budget → utility protection fund → household → “your pocket.”

Dramatizing a cause-and-effect chain.

Goal:

• Personalize the energy policy debate.
• Frame the government as the protector.

Effect:

• Any criticism appears as an attack on utility price protection itself.

---

5️⃣ Internal traitor framing – “Péter Magyar remains silent”

Technique:

• External threat + internal silence.
• “Unable to say no to orders from Kyiv.”

Goal:

• Create a sense of external–internal conspiracy.
• Transform political competition into a question of national loyalty.

Effect:

• Not a policy alternative, but a loyalty test.

---

🎯 What is common in the communication style of Viktor Orbán and “Alexa”?

• War metaphors applied to economic disputes.
• Attribution of personal intent without verifiable evidence.
• Extreme price thresholds (1,000 HUF) used as fear anchors.
• Utility price protection framed as a moral shield.
• Questioning the loyalty of domestic opposition figures.

---

⚖️ Points open to debate (from a policy perspective)

• The operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline is influenced by war conditions and sanctions.
• Alternative sourcing can indeed require refinery adjustments (Urals vs. Brent crude types).
• Fuel prices do not depend solely on pipeline closures, but also on:
  • Global market prices
  • Refinery capacity
  • Exchange rates
  • Tax policy

The “oil blockade = 1,000 HUF fuel” narrative is therefore a simplification.

🧩 The core of the propaganda frame

It is not fundamentally about oil.
It is about this structure:

“We protect you. They attack you. If you’re not with us, you’re with them.”

After the anti-war rally, an anti-war women’s conference at the Parliament!

We, as women, know exactly this: peace is not weakness. Peace is not a refuge for the weak — it is the decision of the strong.

Because wars are not fought by those who order them, but suffered by those who have no choice.

And peace is also a responsibility. Responsibility toward our past. Responsibility toward our children. And responsibility toward those women from whom history has already taken far too much.

That is why the national government’s peace policy matters. Because we know that war is not something to be won, but something to be avoided — for in war there are no winners, only loss.

After Esztergom, we are now here in front of Parliament. What is the next task?

We are here because after the DPK anti-war rally in Esztergom concluded, I am now heading to Parliament for another event with an anti-war theme — a gathering specifically addressed to women.

I believe that women carry a tremendous responsibility even now: to remain persistent and gentle, yet to be the voices of reason and peace.

We know that women suffer greatly in war. I have unfortunately witnessed this myself in Transcarpathia, through the story of a mother who lost her son.

That is why it is important to stand up for peace.

1️⃣ Framing Moral Superiority (“peace is the decision of the strong”)

📌 Technique:
Peace policy is elevated from a strategic issue to a moral category.
“Peace is not weakness” → pre-emptively deflects accusations of weakness.

🎯 Goal:
To place the government’s position on moral high ground.

💥 Effect:
Anyone who questions it is implicitly positioned as being “on the side of war.”

---

2️⃣ Legitimization Through Gender Role (“we, women, know”)

📌 Technique:
Invoking female identity as a source of moral authority.

🎯 Goal:
To associate peace policy with maternal, caring, morally superior positioning.

💥 Effect:
The debate shifts from rational analysis to an emotional plane.
Opposing views → framed as “insensitive.”

---

3️⃣ Focus on Suffering (“wars are not fought by those who order them…”)

📌 Technique:
Contrast between decision-makers and those who suffer.

🎯 Goal:
To frame the conflict as an elite vs. ordinary people divide.

💥 Effect:
The audience identifies with the “victim” position.

---

4️⃣ Personal Story (a mother from Transcarpathia)

📌 Technique:
Individual tragedy → generalized political conclusion.

🎯 Goal:
To reinforce the argument with emotional evidence.

💥 Effect:
Emotional identification overrides geopolitical nuance.

---

5️⃣ False Dichotomy (“war should not be won, but avoided”)

📌 Technique:
Presenting the choice as if it were:
A) peace
B) wanting war

🎯 Goal:
To oversimplify the political debate.

💥 Effect:
Key questions disappear:
– What if a country is attacked?
– What is the difference between aggression and self-defense?

---

6️⃣ Repetition and Rhythm

“Responsibility toward our past.
Responsibility toward our children.
Responsibility…”

📌 Technique: Rhetorical anaphora.

🎯 Goal:
Emotional reinforcement and speech rhythm.

💥 Effect:
The message becomes memorable.

---

🧠 Overall Structure

The narrative is built as follows:

Women → suffering → moral responsibility → peace → national government → moral correctness.

This is not policy-based argumentation, but identity- and emotion-driven mobilization.

The national petition can now be completed online as well!

❌ We say NO to further financing of the Russian–Ukrainian war!
❌ We say NO to making us pay for the operation of the Ukrainian state over the next 10 years!
❌ We say NO to raising household utility prices because of the war!

Link in the comments! 😉

Starting today, the national petition can also be filled out online. It is especially important to complete it because it allows us to say no to three crucial issues.

First, we do not want our money to be sent to Ukraine — we do not want to hand it over.
We also do not want to send weapons to Ukraine, because that could draw us into the war.
And third, it is extremely important that we do not want Hungarian families’ utility costs to increase because of the war.

If you look around the world, you can see that the situation is highly unstable and that there is enormous pressure on us. At the moment, Ukraine is pressuring us by refusing to restart oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline.

That is why it is especially important to stand up for Hungarian interests and make our voices heard. And now, we can do so online as well.

🟠 Szentkirályi Alexandra – Communication Tools: Propaganda Analysis

The text presents a classic, multi-layered mobilization narrative. Below is a breakdown using the structure Technique – Goal – Effect.

---

1️⃣ Strong Emotional Framing (“WE SAY NO”)

📌 Technique:

• Capitalized, repetitive sentence structures
• Triple repetition (war financing – Ukrainian state – utility costs)

🎯 Goal:
To reduce a complex geopolitical issue to a simple black-and-white moral choice.

💥 Effect:
The audience reacts emotionally rather than on the basis of policy analysis.

---

2️⃣ Personalization of Financial Threat

📌 Technique:
“They should not take our money.”
“They should not make us pay for it.”

🎯 Goal:
To frame EU-level support as a direct financial loss for Hungarian families.

💥 Effect:
Activates fear and property-protection instincts.

---

3️⃣ Suggestion of Being Dragged into War

📌 Technique:
“If we send weapons, we could be drawn into the war.”

🎯 Goal:
To equate weapons shipments with direct military involvement.

💥 Effect:
Triggers existential fear (loss of security).

---

4️⃣ Utility Prices as an Emotional Trigger

📌 Technique:
Links rising household utility costs directly to the war.

🎯 Goal:
To present economic uncertainty as externally imposed.

💥 Effect:
Voters perceive price increases not as market dynamics but as a political attack.

---

5️⃣ External Pressure and Blackmail Narrative

📌 Technique:
“There is enormous pressure on us.”
“The Ukrainians are blackmailing us.”

The issue of the Druzhba pipeline is framed as a geopolitical confrontation.

🎯 Goal:
To portray Hungary as a besieged fortress.

💥 Effect:
Strengthens a “us vs. them” identity framework.

---

6️⃣ Call to Action

📌 Technique:
An online petition presented as an easy form of participation.

🎯 Goal:
To trigger active commitment.

💥 Effect:
Those who sign psychologically align themselves with the position.

---

🧠 Overall Picture

The communication relies on:

• A simple message
• Strong emotional appeal
• An external enemy
• Financial threat framing
• Easy mobilization

This is a high emotional-intensity, mobilization-driven narrative built around the triad of security, money, and identity.

👉 In the Budapest General Assembly, we have once again seen yet another example of TISZA representatives refusing to stand up for Hungarian interests.

Andrea Bujdosó, whose Shell shares have increased by ten percent since the oil blockade began, did not dare to say a single word regarding the Druzhba oil pipeline, and the entire left-wing row remained silent as well. They do not condemn Ukrainian blackmail, nor do they support the work of the joint Hungarian-Slovak investigative committee — this is the Brussels path.

🟠 The national government will continue to stand by the lowest household utility prices in Europe, which is why Fidesz remains the safe choice.

This means they have chosen a side — silence is a stronger statement than anything else from Péter Magyar’s representatives, namely in favor of Ukrainian and Brussels interests.

This week we had a General Assembly session that lasted for many hours into the evening. During the entire session, Péter Magyar’s representatives were not willing even once to distance themselves from or condemn what Ukraine is currently doing to us. Let us be clear: Ukraine is currently blackmailing Hungary. Meanwhile, those representatives — whose duty it would be to represent the Hungarian people — did not utter a single word of protest against this.

So I believe that, if anything, this makes it clear to everyone who stands where on this map: Péter Magyar and his allies stand with Ukraine and Brussels, while the national government stands with the Hungarian people.

🟠 Szentkirályi Alexandra’s Narrative – Rhetorical Devices in Bullet Points

🧠 Core Narrative

“TISZA = Brussels + Ukraine’s side”
“Fidesz = Hungarian people + utility cost protection”

Structure: Technique – Goal – Effect

---

1️⃣ Silence = Framed as Complicity

---

2️⃣ Dramatization of an External Threat

📌 Technique:
“Ukraine is blackmailing Hungary.”
“Oil blockade.”

🎯 Goal:
To elevate an energy supply dispute into an existential national threat.

📌 Technique:
“Her Shell shares increased by 10%.”

🎯 Goal:
To imply a conflict of interest.

📌 Technique:
“Who stands where on the map.”
“They have chosen a side.”

🎯 Goal:
To simplify complex geopolitical and EU legal issues into a two-sided moral battlefield.

---

6️⃣ Utility Price Protection as an Emotional Anchor

📌 Technique:
“Europe’s lowest utility prices.”

🎯 Goal:
To tie political loyalty to a tangible, wallet-sensitive issue.

💥 Effect:
Abstract geopolitics becomes a concrete household financial concern.

---

🔎 Strategic Summary

This communication is:

⚙ Not a technical energy policy debate

🎭 But an identity- and loyalty-framing strategy

🔥 Built on the triangle of threat + betrayal + national protection

❌ Brussels is once again not working in the interest of Europeans!

It is outright outrageous that von der Leyen and her allies are pushing through the Mercosur agreement without the approval of the European Parliament.

👉 Manfred Weber, Péter Magyar’s boss, has already welcomed the decision, saying: “Respect to Uruguay and Argentina!” — while European and Hungarian farmers are being exposed to overseas agribusiness giants.

The facts do not lie: Péter Magyar and his political family are the ones currently undermining European agriculture.

🟠 Only Fidesz stands by Hungarian farmers — which is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

---

Have you heard that Brussels is implementing the Mercosur agreement without proper approval? When have they stood up for the farmers? When have they stood up for the farmers? We never see it! It’s a terrible, typical Brussels pace — unfortunately, that’s all I can say. More and more, we see in Brussels that what Europeans think and what the European interest actually is has become secondary. They are likely driven by other interests.

The Mercosur agreement is outrageous because it essentially allows South American goods to flood European markets, pushing European farmers out — and putting Hungarian farmers in an especially difficult position. I believe the European Union’s primary responsibility should be to protect European citizens, European producers, and the European economy.

That is why, on many issues, we strongly disagree with the Brussels policy being pursued — a policy that places external and financial interests ahead of the member states.

🟠 Alexandra Szentkirályi – Rhetorical Analysis of the Mercosur Narrative

🧠 Narrative:

“Brussels is working against farmers → Péter Magyar and Weber are serving it → Fidesz is the only defender.”

Structure: Technique – Goal – Effect

---

1️⃣ External Enemy Framing – “Brussels is not working in the interest of Europeans”

📌 Technique:

• “Brussels” as a faceless power center.
• Moral judgment: “outrageous.”
• Suggestion of democratic bypass: “without the approval of the European Parliament.”

🎯 Goal:
To turn an institutional or procedural debate into a democratic scandal.

💥 Effect:
The audience interprets the issue not as a legal-technical matter, but as an abuse of power.

---

2️⃣ Personalization and Guilt by Association

Actors:

• Ursula von der Leyen
• Manfred Weber
• Péter Magyar

📌 Technique:

• “von der Leyen and her circle” – personalization of responsibility.
• “Péter Magyar’s boss” – framing subordination.
• “Respect to Uruguay and Argentina!” – selective quotation used as proof.

🎯 Goal:
To transform an EU-level trade dispute into a domestic political betrayal narrative.

💥 Effect:
The audience does not see policy disagreement, but domestic actors serving “external interests.”

---

3️⃣ Dramatization of Farmers’ Endangerment

Key concept: EU–Mercosur Trade Agreement

📌 Technique:

• “They are unleashing South American goods onto European markets.”
• “They are pushing out European farmers.”
• “They are destroying European agriculture.”

🎯 Goal:
To reframe a free trade agreement as an existential threat.

💥 Effect:
The public does not think in terms of tariffs, quotas, or transition periods, but in terms of survival and struggle.

---

4️⃣ Repetition and Emotional Escalation

📌 Technique:

• “When did they stand up for the farmers?” (repetition)
• “Horrific Brussels pace”
• “Other interests are driving them”

🎯 Goal:
To create emotional resonance and shared outrage.

💥 Effect:
Emotional intensity overrides complex economic analysis.

---

5️⃣ False Exclusivity – “Only Fidesz”

📌 Technique:

• “Only Fidesz stands by Hungarian farmers.”
• “Only Fidesz is the safe choice.”

🎯 Goal:
To narrow political competition into a binary choice.

💥 Effect:
The election shifts from a policy debate to a loyalty decision.

---

🔎 Deeper Communication Pattern

This framing connects three levels:

1. A global trade dispute
2. An anti-EU sovereignty narrative
3. A domestic betrayal frame

Thus, the Mercosur agreement does not appear as an economic policy issue, but as:

“Brussels + domestic collaborators vs. Hungarian farmers.”

---

🎯 Overall Picture

This is classic sovereignty-protection communication:

• Dramatizing external power
• Delegitimizing internal opponents
• Using farmers as an emotional reference point
• Closing with an exclusive political alternative
