This is the margin by which the National Election Commission rejected the TISZA submission in which they tried to hold me responsible for posters appearing on the streets of North Pest featuring President Zelensky and the local TISZA candidate.

❗️According to the complainant, either I or my team put up the posters — which is, of course, complete nonsense!

They also object to the fact that I noticed the new Zelensky–Müller Anna posters 😂😂

Dear TISZA supporters!

If someone is actually out on the streets, walking around the district, talking to residents — not hiding, avoiding, or running away from voters like the “silent” TISZA candidates — then yes, they will see, hear, and experience things!

In any case, the National Election Commission’s decision, adopted by a 1️⃣3️⃣–0️⃣ vote, settles the matter.

❗️The real issue, from the perspective of the election and Hungary, is not who put up the posters, but whether a pro-Ukrainian TISZA government comes to power with the help of pro-Ukrainian TISZA candidates, or whether a strong national government remains.

We are all better off with a strong national government 🇭🇺✌️

P.S.: According to eyewitnesses, there are still “honest” TISZA posters out in the constituency — meaning ones that show Zelensky and their candidate, Müller Anna, together in a single image (several reports came in yesterday from Káposztásmegyer).

🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “I am being attacked without basis”
  • “TISZA = pro-Ukrainian”
  • “Election = national vs. Ukrainian interests”

👉 Hidden formula:

victimhood + discrediting + enemy framing + geopolitical fear
→ “the issue doesn’t matter → what matters is which side you’re on”

👉 🔥 Core point:

➡️ concrete issue (posters) → pushed into the background
➡️ focus shifted to: “pro-Ukrainian vs national”
➡️ classic end-of-campaign polarization

🔍 Manipulation techniques

1️⃣ Victim framing

👉 Example:
“I was being held responsible… complete nonsense”

Technique:

  • self-positioning → as the attacked party
  • criticism = “nonsense”

Goal:
➡️ trigger empathy
➡️ shut down debate (“nothing to discuss”)

Effect:
➡️ followers switch into defensive mode automatically

2️⃣ Authority framing (institutional legitimacy)

👉 Example:
“13–0 decision…”

Technique:

  • numbers + unanimity = illusion of absolute truth
  • decision → pulled into political narrative

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of “this is fact, not opinion”
➡️ fully delegitimize the opponent

Effect:
➡️ debate closed with numbers (not arguments)

3️⃣ Deflection (whataboutism + reframing)

👉 Example:
“that’s not even the real issue…”

Technique:

  • concrete issue → declared irrelevant
  • new frame: geopolitics

Goal:
➡️ remove uncomfortable question
➡️ insert own narrative

Effect:
➡️ the actual issue disappears

4️⃣ Enemy framing

👉 Example:
“pro-Ukrainian Tisza government”

Technique:

  • political opponent = tied to external power
  • implicit accusation: ضد national interest

Goal:
➡️ create distrust
➡️ reinforce “they are not one of us”

Effect:
➡️ strengthens identity-based voting

5️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Example:
“pro-Ukrainian government vs strong national government”

Technique:

  • only two options exist
  • excludes any middle ground

Goal:
➡️ simplify the choice
➡️ force a decision

Effect:
➡️ rational thinking → replaced by emotion

6️⃣ Ridicule framing

👉 Example:
“silent Tisza candidates”, “😂😂”

Technique:

  • mocking the opponent
  • doesn’t refute → degrades

Goal:
➡️ undermine credibility
➡️ entertain own base

Effect:
➡️ “we are smart, they are ridiculous”

7️⃣ Authenticity framing (“I’m on the street”)

👉 Example:
“walking the district, talking to residents”

Technique:

  • “I’m among the people” image
  • implicit: opponent = detached elite

Goal:
➡️ create sense of closeness
➡️ build credibility

Effect:
➡️ illusion of personal connection

8️⃣ Hearsay legitimization

👉 Example:
“according to eyewitnesses…”

Technique:

  • unverifiable information
  • presented as fact

Goal:
➡️ keep narrative alive
➡️ reinforce without evidence

Effect:
➡️ “there must be something behind it” feeling

🧩 Overall picture

This is a textbook campaign post:

👉 scandal → quickly closed
👉 self-exoneration → via institutional reference
👉 focus shift → to geopolitical fear
👉 ending → mobilization (“national government”)

🔥 Short, raw conclusion

➡️ It’s not about truth
➡️ It’s not about the posters

👉 It’s about this:
“deflect + reframe + inject fear + force a side”
