It’s not Bors that should be banned, Peti.
What should be banned is the TISZA tax and the TISZA austerity package!
Or perhaps Zoltán Tarr as well…

Anti-war rally, Szeged.

– It’s not Bors that should be banned, Peti. The Tisza tax and the Tisza austerity package should be banned. But if you absolutely insist on banning someone, then ban Zoltán Tarr! He’s the one who said that after the election, anything goes—and that if everything is said out loud, you’ll collapse. Ban Zoltán Tarr!

fidesz propaganda

(0:00) What was the book burning like in Brussels?
(0:02) Oh, it’s indescribable. I’d only ever seen something like that on TV before.
(0:06) It was as if you’d stepped into a war movie.

(0:08) The police practically appeared among us without any prior warning or announcement,
(0:14) and crowd dispersal began immediately. They were hitting and beating anyone they could reach.

(0:18) What would happen if, in 2026, Péter Magyar were prime minister and a Tisza majority formed the government?
(0:23) Immediately,
(0:28) we would give up a very small piece of sovereignty.

(0:28) We saw this giving up of a small piece of sovereignty in Brussels; we experienced their democracy.

(0:33) How do you think this would affect farmers?
(0:36) They would cut our budget by nearly 186 billion, and almost the same amount—
(0:41) in fact a bit more, 100 billion—
they want to give to Ukraine as support.

(0:45) And then they say this has nothing to do with each other.
(0:47) If I take money away from one place as a baseline and give it to another,
(0:50) especially to a non-EU member, then of course it does have something to do with it.

200 vs 600 HUF: How Hungarian Propaganda Engineers Fear

(0:00) Which one would you choose?
(0:03) The answer seems obvious, but in Brussels they decided that this is what you must choose.
(0:09) This is because the European Parliament would, through an unlawful resolution, ban all member states from purchasing Russian gas and oil.
(0:16) For Hungary, this would mean the end of the utility cost reduction scheme.

(0:20) If it were up to Brussels, the utility costs of every Hungarian household could rise to as much as three times their current level.
(0:25) At the vote, representatives of Fidesz fought to protect the low utility prices that safeguard Hungarian families.
(0:32) Representatives of the Tisza Party, however, chose the most cowardly path: they sneaked away and did not even take part in the vote, because they cannot vote against Brussels’ plans.

(0:41) If it were up to them, would they let Brussels wipe out cheap utilities in Hungary with a single stroke of the pen?
(0:47) Does such a Hungarian person really exist who would want this?
(0:50) Yes: Bód and Krisztina.

What is this 200 HUF vs. 600 HUF “water” shown under the video?

Short answer: it’s a classic propaganda and psychological conditioning trick, not information.

1. A false choice is created

The video opens with:

“Which one would you choose?”

You see two prices:

  • 200 HUF
  • 600 HUF

Your brain reacts instantly:
“Obviously the cheaper one.”

➡️ This is not reasoning — it’s an automatic reflex.


2. Emotional conditioning (price → politics)

That instinctive choice is then emotionally transferred onto a political issue:

  • water price →
  • utility bills →
  • Russian gas →
  • Brussels →
  • political enemy

The implied message is:

“If you don’t support us, you want the 600 HUF option.”

⚠️ This is emotionally effective but logically false.


3. Deliberate oversimplification (infantilization)

The real topic is complex:

  • energy diversification,
  • EU legal competences,
  • sanctions,
  • long-term price effects.

Instead, it’s reduced to a supermarket-style choice between two bottles of water, so the viewer:

  • doesn’t think,
  • only reacts emotionally.

4. Legal distortion

The video claims:

“The European Parliament would, through an unlawful resolution, ban all member states from buying Russian gas and oil.”

In reality:

  • the European Parliament
    cannot unilaterally ban member states from purchasing gas,
  • there is no EP resolution that automatically ends Hungary’s utility price scheme.

➡️ This is political narrative, not legal fact.


5. Scapegoating with a name

At the end:

“Yes: Bódos Krisztina.”

This is a textbook scapegoating technique:

  • personalizes the “enemy,”
  • provokes anger,
  • diverts attention from real decision-making mechanisms.

One-sentence summary

The 200 vs. 600 HUF water is not evidence — it’s an emotional lure designed to steer viewers toward a pre-selected political conclusion.

Comment Control and Cult Behavior in Hungarian Politics

Dezse-Zelenka Dóra, journalist

Unfortunately, we had to restrict comments again. You know how it goes: if we dare write anything negative about Péter, they immediately fire up the sect, who can hardly wait to defend their beloved leader from the nasty, evil publicists. The same faces comment everywhere — it’s a very funny phenomenon 😀
So I’m waiting for sensible comments from my dear followers, and if you’re not following yet, make sure you do ❤️❤️
