Brussels has made it clear that with Péter Magyar, they would immediately ban cheap Russian energy, which would effectively mean the end of utility cost reductions.

An EU pact has been concluded under which, just three days after the elections, cheap Russian oil would be completely banned from Hungary.

If anyone still had doubts about the cooperation between Zelenskyy and TISZA, they have now definitively proven that they are working together against Hungarian interests.

If their plan were to come true and they came to power, oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline—which guarantees Hungary’s secure and predictable supply—would never resume.

Péter Magyar would have no intention of maintaining reduced utility costs, as the energy crisis increases the value of their Shell shares every single day.

As long as the national government remains in power, we will always stand on the side of the Hungarian people and guarantee low utility costs that protect families. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

If there is no Orbán, there is no oil. Brussels, Zelenskyy, and Péter Magyar do not want cheap Russian oil.

Just three days after the elections, Brussels put the complete ban on cheap Russian oil on the agenda. This is no coincidence. They are counting on Péter Magyar—because if TISZA wins, the Druzhba pipeline will never be restarted.

This would mean that Hungary would no longer have access to cheap energy.

Péter Magyar has neither the strength nor the intention to prevent this, as the energy crisis continuously increases the value of their Shell shares.

If it were up to them, our annual utility bills could rise from 250,000 forints to as much as 1 million forints. The price of a liter of fuel would become more expensive than a bottle of average-quality wine.

The equation is clear: either TISZA and a Ukrainian oil blockade, or Viktor Orbán and cheap energy.

We stand for national interests—that is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

1️⃣ False causal chain (distorting cause and effect)
👉 EU decision → Péter Magyar → higher utility costs → no oil
👉 Presented as if it were one single coordinated plan
🎯 Reality: these are separate processes with no proven direct link


2️⃣ Enemy coalition construction
👉 “Brussels + Zelenskyy + TISZA = common enemy”
👉 Multiple actors merged into one bloc
🎯 Goal: strengthen the “us vs them” mindset


3️⃣ Fear-mongering (existential panic)
👉 “1 million HUF utility bills”, “expensive fuel”, “no supply”
👉 Uses shocking numbers to create panic
🎯 Goal: stop thinking, trigger fear and reaction


4️⃣ False dilemma (illusion of two choices)
👉 “Either Orbán and cheap energy, or TISZA and disaster”
👉 Excludes all other possibilities
🎯 Reality: energy policy is not a binary choice


5️⃣ Leader = nation fusion
👉 “If there is no Orbán, there is no oil”
👉 Ties the country’s functioning to one person
🎯 Goal: create a leader = survival narrative


6️⃣ Assumptions presented as facts
👉 “it has been proven”, “it has been made clear”
👉 No concrete evidence behind these claims
🎯 Goal: shut down debate and exclude criticism


7️⃣ Repetition for imprinting (core propaganda tool)
👉 Same claim repeated in different forms:

  • no cheap energy
  • no Druzhba pipeline
  • no utility price cuts
    🎯 Goal: repetition → feeling of truth

8️⃣ Economic oversimplification
👉 Energy prices = result of a single political decision
🎯 Reality: global markets, infrastructure, EU rules, and companies → complex system


9️⃣ Scapegoating
👉 Péter Magyar framed as the main cause of a future crisis
🎯 Goal: assign complex problems to one person


🔟 Emotional escalation + moral framing
👉 “national interest”, “betrayal”, “we will not allow it”
🎯 Goal: replace rational debate with emotional alignment


🧠 Overall structure (very concise):
👉 EU energy policy
→ reframed as an “attack”
→ linked to domestic political actors
→ inflated into an existential threat
→ closed with a binary choice narrative

It is unacceptable that intelligence services are carrying out actions against the government in the interest of the Tisza Party and through the Tisza Party!

We have reached a crossroads: Europe is preparing for war, Ukrainians want to join the EU, and they are demanding that Hungary cut itself off from cheap Russian energy, send weapons and money to Ukraine, and join the ranks of countries at war. You will decide whether our country will have a national government or a Ukraine-friendly government supported by Brussels. Hungary cannot be blackmailed or humiliated. It is unacceptable that intelligence services are carrying out actions against the government in the interest of the Tisza Party and through the Tisza Party! We stand before a historic responsibility, therefore we must achieve a historic victory! Hungary cannot be blackmailed or humiliated!

Yesterday, the Tisza agent scandal erupted. It was revealed that Péter Magyar and his circle are cooperating with spies disguised as journalists, who are supported by intelligence services working against Hungary. The Tisza Party and foreign spies are jointly laying the foundations of a Ukraine-friendly foreign ministry. Brussels and Zelensky want an agent government in Hungary. But Hungarians want a national government! We will not allow it!

❗️The Tisza “agent scandal” has caused a huge uproar. ❗️
They have admitted that Péter Magyar and his circle are cooperating with spies posing as journalists, who are supported by intelligence services working against Hungary.

Tisza and foreign spies are jointly laying the foundations of a pro-Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the involvement of Anita Orbán.

Brussels and Zelensky want an agent government in Hungary.
But Hungarians want a national government! We will not allow this!

Good morning, Szandra! What are you doing, what are you preparing for? A committee meeting—but there is something much more important that broke yesterday.

The Tisza Party has been exposed: they teamed up with someone posing as a journalist—who is in fact a spy/agent—and together they would effectively hand Hungary over to foreign powers. This is because the Tisza Party is preparing to establish a Ukraine-friendly “agent government.”

And this is exactly what we must not allow. I believe Hungarians want a government that represents Hungarian national interests at the head of the country—not an agent government directed from Ukraine.


🔍 Main narrative

👉 “Tisza = foreign spy network”
👉 “Péter Magyar’s circle = treason”
👉 “Brussels + Zelensky = background power”
👉 “The election = nation vs foreign control”
👉 “Fidesz = protection / the only option”


🧩 Hidden formula (very clear propaganda logic)

an unproven claim
→ presented as fact (“they admitted it”, “they were exposed”)
→ external enemy (intelligence services, Ukraine, Brussels)
→ internal traitors (Tisza)
→ existential threat (“they would hand over the country”)
→ binary choice (“us vs them”)
→ mobilization (“we will not allow it”)

👉 This is classic: accusation → turned into fact → panic → electoral message


🧠 Influence techniques (detailed)

1️⃣ Labeling + demonization

“spies”, “agents”, “traitors”

👉 Goal:
not a political opponent → a national security threat

👉 Effect:
not a debate → moral rejection


2️⃣ Illusion of proof (core element of the lie)

“they admitted it”, “they were exposed”

👉 Reality: not proven
👉 Communication: presented as established fact

👉 Effect:
the audience doesn’t question → automatically believes it


3️⃣ Building a conspiracy network

Brussels + Zelensky + intelligence services + journalists + Tisza

👉 Goal:
a massive, all-encompassing enemy image

👉 Effect:
➡️ everything becomes connected
➡️ sense of threat increases


4️⃣ External enemy + internal traitor combo

👉 One of the strongest propaganda formulas

external: “Ukraine”, “Brussels”
internal: “Tisza”

👉 Effect:
➡️ “the country is under siege” feeling
➡️ internal opponent = traitor


5️⃣ Fear appeal (existential level)

“they would hand over Hungary”

👉 Not a concrete threat
👉 but a vision of total collapse

👉 Effect:
➡️ irrational decisions
➡️ defensive reflex


6️⃣ False dilemma (binary framing)

“national government vs Ukrainian agent government”

👉 No middle ground

👉 Effect:
➡️ oversimplifies the choice
➡️ “if not us → then betrayal”


7️⃣ Projection (very important)

👉 What they claim:

“serving foreign interests”
“handing over the country”

👉 This is often exactly the accusation
others make about them

👉 Effect:
➡️ confusion
➡️ narrative reversal


8️⃣ Patriotic framing

“the Hungarian people want a national government”

👉 implicit message:

if you’re not with them → you’re not “Hungarian”

👉 Effect:
➡️ identity pressure
➡️ exclusion


9️⃣ Propaganda disguised as conversation

“Good morning, Szandra!”

👉 Goal:
informality → sense of authenticity

👉 Reality:
a scripted political message


🔟 Repetition (key!)

Same pattern as in previous texts:

spies
Tisza
Brussels
treason
nation

👉 This is deliberate:
➡️ repetition = it gets embedded in the mind


⚠️ Overall picture

This is no longer simple campaigning, but:

👉 full reality distortion + emotional manipulation

Main goal:

don’t think
don’t verify
feel (fear + anger)
and choose


🎯 In short (essence)

👉 This communication is not about what is true
👉 it is about:

who the enemy is
who to hate
who to vote for

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


🧠 Influence Techniques (detailed)

1️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)

Excerpt:
“collaborating with foreign intelligence services”
“Soros-linked journalist”

Technique:
➡️ merging multiple enemies into one block
➡️ linking global forces with domestic actors

Goal:
➡️ maximize perceived threat

Effect:
➡️ “this is no longer politics, but an attack on the country”


2️⃣ Suggesting guilt without evidence

Excerpt:
“admitted cooperating with intelligence services”

Technique:
➡️ presenting claims as facts without proof
➡️ audio recording = illusion of unquestionable evidence

Goal:
➡️ shut down debate

Effect:
➡️ the audience stops asking: “is this actually true?”


3️⃣ Guilt by association

Excerpt:
“Anita Orbán’s friend → journalist → intelligence services”

Technique:
➡️ relationships used instead of evidence
➡️ chain: friend → network → espionage

Goal:
➡️ discredit an entire political side

Effect:
➡️ “anyone connected to them is suspicious”


4️⃣ False dilemma

Excerpt:
“two very different paths lie ahead”

Technique:
➡️ only two options presented:

  • Orbán = security
  • Tisza = foreign control

Goal:
➡️ eliminate middle-ground positions

Effect:
➡️ forced choice

👉 This is one of the strongest manipulations in the text


5️⃣ Fear appeal (existential level)

Excerpt:
“they will release data”
“they will fire people”
“a government controlled from abroad”

Technique:
➡️ concrete, personal consequences
➡️ not abstract politics, but “what happens to you”

Goal:
➡️ trigger anxiety

Effect:
➡️ “this is dangerous for me personally”


6️⃣ Projection (mirror technique)

Essence:
➡️ accusations of “foreign ties” are shifted onto the opponent

Technique:
➡️ preemptively neutralizing criticism of one’s own side

Effect:
➡️ “they are the spies, not us”


7️⃣ Generating moral outrage

Excerpt:
“shock”, “outrage” repeated multiple times

Technique:
➡️ emotion as a guiding signal
➡️ if it’s outrageous → it must be true

Goal:
➡️ suppress critical thinking


8️⃣ Silence = guilt (argument from silence)

Excerpt:
“Péter Magyar is silent → did not comment”

Technique:
➡️ lack of response = admission

Goal:
➡️ reinforce accusations without evidence

Effect:
➡️ “if he doesn’t deny it, it must be true”


9️⃣ “People vs outsiders” framing

Excerpt:
“Hungarian interest vs foreign interest”

Technique:
➡️ identity-based conflict

Goal:
➡️ turn political choice into identity

Effect:
➡️ “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”


🔟 “Only solution” narrative

Excerpt:
“Fidesz is the only safe choice”

Technique:
➡️ total exclusion of alternatives

Goal:
➡️ pull in undecided voters

Effect:
➡️ “there is no other option”


⚠️ Overall Picture (brief)

This text:

👉 does not prove
👉 does not nuance
👉 does not analyze

but instead:

👉 constructs enemies
👉 generates fear

👉 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!

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Tisza + journalists = foreign spy network”
👉 “Péter Magyar = agent of foreign interests”
👉 “The government = national defense”
👉 “The election = treason vs patriotism”


🧩 Hidden Formula

a disputed / unproven case
→ forced interpretation (“espionage”)
→ external enemy (intelligence services, Soros, Ukraine)
→ internal traitors (Tisza, journalist)
→ moral panic (“the country is in danger”)
→ political mobilization (“Fidesz is the solution”)

👉 This is classic: scandal → betrayal → fear → votes


🧠 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.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Brussels wants to control Hungary”
👉 “Tisza = a tool of Brussels”
👉 “The veto = the last line of defense”
👉 “The election = sovereignty vs subordination”
👉 “Orbán = the only protector”


🧩 Underlying Formula

EU institutional explanation
→ simplification + dramatization
→ external enemy (Brussels)
→ internal “agent” (Tisza)
→ existential stakes (“last bite”, “end of sovereignty”)
→ savior (Orbán)
→ electoral mobilization

👉 This is textbook: fear appeal + savior narrative


🧠 Influence Techniques (detailed)

1️⃣ Fear Appeal (existential level)

Key sentence:
“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)

Reality:
EU decision-making = multiple mechanisms (not just veto)

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

Reality:
➡️ EU = complex system of member states + institutions

Goal:
➡️ simplify the conflict

Effect:
➡️ “us vs them” framing


4️⃣ Internal Traitor Narrative

Claim:
👉 “Tisza = Brussels’ people”

Technique:
➡️ delegitimizing the political opponent
➡️ not a disagreement, but “serving foreign interests”

Goal:
➡️ discredit the opposition

Effect:
➡️ polarization, distrust


5️⃣ Slippery Slope

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

Technique:
➡️ skipping intermediate steps
➡️ automatic collapse narrative

Goal:
➡️ dramatize the threat

Effect:
➡️ exaggerated sense of danger


6️⃣ Authority + Historical Legitimization

Element:
“this was the intention of the founders…”

Technique:
➡️ the past legitimizes the present position

Goal:
➡️ “it has always been this way → therefore it is right”

Effect:
➡️ makes criticism harder


7️⃣ Savior Narrative (leader framing)

Key:
👉 “This person is Viktor Orbán”

Technique:
➡️ reduces a complex system to one individual

Goal:
➡️ attach security to a person

Effect:
➡️ strengthens loyalty


8️⃣ False Dichotomy (two choices only)

👉 “sovereignty OR Brussels’ control”

Technique:
➡️ excludes all middle options

Goal:
➡️ force a binary choice

Effect:
➡️ oversimplified decision-making


⚠️ What is the core trick?

👉 real elements + distorted conclusions

Real:
✔️ veto exists
✔️ unanimity decisions exist

Distortion:
❌ “no veto = end of the country”
❌ “Brussels wants to replace the government directly”


🧠 In short (brutally concise)

👉 fear + simplification + enemy image + savior


💥 Your phrasing translated into analysis

What you wrote:

“they’re flailing, lashing out, everyone is to blame except them”

In professional terms:

👉 defensive propaganda reaction

  • shifting responsibility
  • searching for external enemies
  • minimizing own role
  • turning into counter-attack

Péter Magyar and his allies are working with foreign agents to wiretap members of the government. No one has ever been exposed this clearly before!

Colluding with foreign intelligence services is perhaps one of the most serious crimes a person can commit against their own country.

Now an audio recording proves that Szabolcs Panyi, a “journalist” from Direkt36, actively participated in the wiretapping of Péter Szijjártó.

Moreover, he speaks proudly about how, if Tisza comes to power, he would gain access to confidential foreign affairs information, and how he would decide who should be fired from the ministry and who could continue working there. His liaison in this would be his good friend, Anita Orbán from Tisza.

Such a person is called an agent—but the politicians who cooperate with agents in the interest of other countries are no better.

It is absolutely astonishing what a broad international intelligence operation is underway to ensure Hungary has a pro-Ukrainian government.

The next 20 days will be tough—everyone should fasten their seatbelts, because Tisza will stop at nothing, and all the sleeper agents have been activated for their success.


“What do you think, Szabolcs Panyi, after hearing the news this morning? I gave us two numbers. They said they also had those two numbers. Maybe I asked for your numbers. You shared your number and Péter’s as well. And in your opinion, what kind of people are those who are now being promoted? Like that ‘captain,’ and Orbán—well, someone you might be on good terms with?”

“Well, I don’t know the captain, but they wouldn’t say bad things. Anita is my friend. I found myself in a situation where I can suggest to her who she should keep and who she should fire. There are services, foreign services, that support this. It’s quite shocking. Essentially, it contains things people had already suspected earlier. That this journalist supporting Tisza is in contact with foreign services. But what is even more shocking from this recording is that he channels these connections toward Anita Orbán, a frontline politician of the Tisza party. To such an extent that he says they are very close—so close that it already pushes or crosses the boundaries of journalistic ethics. In the event of a change of government, under a Tisza administration, this journalist would, as I understand it, have easy access to all kinds of documents. In fact, he even mentions that he could tell Anita Orbán who should remain working in the ministry and who should be dismissed. I assume the criterion would be how pro-Brussels or pro-Ukrainian someone is. This is exactly what we are talking about when we say that the Tisza party does not represent the interests of the Hungarian people, but rather foreign interests—Brussels and Ukrainian interests.”


🔍 Main narrative

👉 “The opponent (Tisza + journalists) = foreign agents”
👉 “An intelligence conspiracy is unfolding against Hungary”
👉 “The government = victim / protector”
👉 “The election = national sovereignty vs treason”
👉 “An extraordinary situation → all means are justified”


🧩 Hidden formula

scandal (Szijjártó case)
→ narrative reversal
→ enemy image (agents, foreign forces)
→ fear + paranoia
→ mobilization (“3 weeks left, buckle up”)

👉 This is classic damage control turned into offense


🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Projection (mirror technique – very strong here)

Actual situation:
➡️ accusation: government member → Russian ties / leak

Communication:
➡️ “not us → they are working for foreign powers”

Goal:
➡️ redirect attention

Effect:
➡️ the scandal “disappears,” replaced by a new enemy


2️⃣ Maximizing the enemy image

Keywords:

  • “agent”
  • “intelligence services”
  • “international operation”
  • “sleeper agents”

Technique:
➡️ elevates it from political debate to spy-thriller level

Goal:
➡️ create moral panic

Effect:
➡️ “this is no longer a disagreement, but treason”


3️⃣ Illusion of evidence (“audio recording proves it”)

Technique:
➡️ refers to concrete evidence
➡️ but without context or verification

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of credibility

Effect:
➡️ people stop questioning → “if there’s a recording, it must be true”


4️⃣ Guilt by association

Example:

  • journalist → intelligence services
  • journalist → Tisza → foreign powers → Ukraine

Technique:
➡️ linking separate actors into one chain

Goal:
➡️ delegitimize the entire opposition


5️⃣ Fear + urgency

“Hard 20 days are coming”
“everyone fasten your seatbelts”

Technique:
➡️ sense of imminent crisis

Goal:
➡️ immediate mobilization

Effect:
➡️ reduced rational thinking


6️⃣ Moral framing (treason vs homeland)

Claim:
➡️ “cooperating with foreign services = one of the gravest crimes”

Technique:
➡️ moral absolutism

Goal:
➡️ exclude the opponent from legitimate politics


7️⃣ Informal “exposé” tone (dialogue section)

At the end, the conversation:

➡️ “as if it were a secretly leaked discussion”

Technique:
➡️ dramatization + reality effect

Goal:
➡️ “this is not propaganda, this is proof”


⚠️ What is actually happening (meta level)

Your sentence captures it perfectly:

“the problem is not what happened, but that it became public”

👉 The essence of this communication:

  • not managing the scandal
  • but reversing the narrative

🧠 Strategic level (very important)

This is no longer “normal propaganda,” but:

👉 ELECTION ENDGAME COMMUNICATION

Characteristics:

  • extreme claims (agents, intelligence services)
  • rapid escalation
  • emotional overload
  • “war-like” atmosphere

👉 Goals:

  • maximize own base
  • scare undecided voters
  • delegitimize the opponent

🔥 In short (brutally honest summary)

This message:

➡️ is not trying to prove anything
➡️ is not clarifying facts

👉 instead:

it builds a spy-movie narrative where the opponent = a traitorous network

There is a growing view that a truly high quality of life is not found in big cities, but rather outside them.

We love Budapest, as it offers a wide range of cultural opportunities and has well-developed infrastructure. However, if the city is to become truly family-friendly, much more needs to be done—especially to increase green spaces and improve air quality.

One thing is certain: we at Budapest Fidesz will do everything we can to make our capital more livable.

What concrete steps could be taken to make Budapest more livable for families? I was born in Budapest and have lived here my whole life. Yet I often think about whether, given the direction urban life has taken in recent years, it will still be considered desirable in the long term. There is an interesting parallel here with the dominance of the digital world and the idea of returning to a more analog way of life.

It seems to me that this is not only a Hungarian phenomenon but a broader trend across Western societies: while for decades big-city life represented quality, more and more people are now beginning to question this. Increasingly, a different perspective is emerging—one that suggests a truly high quality of life may not be found in the big-city environment at all.

This raises an important question. I don’t want to go too deeply into it here, but it’s something I reflect on often: it’s not certain that in 10–20 years most people will still see urban life—with its density, air pollution, and pressures—as the ideal. Yes, cities offer immense cultural diversity and choice, but is that truly what defines quality of life? Or could that instead be found in smaller towns or rural environments?

It is very difficult to make large cities truly family-friendly, because families often start at a disadvantage for the reasons mentioned. There are fewer green areas than outside cities, air quality is worse, and infrastructure is often not optimized for family life. And when we talk about a family-friendly city, we should not think only of families with children, but also of the elderly.

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “Urban life (Budapest) is declining and not ideal for families”
👉 “Real quality of life is rather found in rural areas”
👉 “We (Fidesz) are working to make it more livable”
👉 “The problem is real, but manageable – with us”
👉 “The question is open → we involve the audience”


🧩 Hidden formula

subtle dissatisfaction + sense of trend + problem framing + identity (rural vs urban) + promise of solution + engagement

➡️ This is no longer harsh propaganda, but “soft framing + guided thinking”


🧠 Influence techniques (in detail)

1️⃣ “Innocent” trend framing (soft agenda setting)

Excerpt:
“this view is becoming more widespread…”

Technique:
➡️ no concrete data
➡️ yet it sounds like a social fact
➡️ creates a “everyone thinks this” feeling

Goal:
➡️ normalize a political narrative

Effect:
➡️ the audience doesn’t question it → “yes, I feel this too”


2️⃣ Subtle anti-urban framing

Excerpt:
“crowding, air pollution, families are at a disadvantage”

Technique:
➡️ highlights real problems
➡️ pushes positives into the background
➡️ implicit contrast: city = worse

Goal:
➡️ frame Budapest’s current state as problematic
➡️ (implicitly criticize the opposition-led city leadership)

Effect:
➡️ increases dissatisfaction, but not aggressively


3️⃣ “I’m thinking about it” – credibility trick

Excerpt:
“I’ve been thinking about this a lot…”

Technique:
➡️ imitates personal reflection
➡️ not stating → “just thinking”

Goal:
➡️ increase authenticity
➡️ disguise propaganda as opinion

Effect:
➡️ feels less like a political message


4️⃣ False dilemma (city vs countryside)

Excerpt:
“it’s not certain that urban life represents quality…”

Technique:
➡️ sets two models against each other
➡️ suggests a forced choice

Goal:
➡️ steer value shift (urban → rural)

Effect:
➡️ creates doubt about the benefits of city life


5️⃣ Problem framing → ownership of solution

Excerpt:
“we at Budapest Fidesz are doing everything…”

Technique:
➡️ first dramatizes the problem
➡️ then presents itself as the solution

Goal:
➡️ build a sense of competence

Effect:
➡️ “they are working on it → we should trust them”


6️⃣ Engaging question (pseudo-dialogue)

Excerpt:
“What concrete steps could be taken?”

Technique:
➡️ question directed at the audience
➡️ appearance of involvement

In reality:
➡️ guided thinking

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of participation → increase acceptance

Effect:
➡️ the audience “joins” the narrative


7️⃣ Use of universal values

Keywords:
➡️ family
➡️ elderly
➡️ air quality
➡️ green spaces
➡️ quality of life

Technique:
➡️ uses unquestionable positive concepts

Goal:
➡️ minimize resistance

Effect:
➡️ hard to oppose → easy to accept


⚠️ What’s the trick in this message?

👉 It does not rely on outright lies
👉 It relies on selected truths + framing

This is the most effective type because:

  • it cannot be easily attacked directly
  • it appears as “common sense”
  • it slowly shapes opinions

🧠 Summary

This text is:

➡️ not classic propaganda
➡️ but subtle narrative tuning (narrative-building)

Core logic:

  • urban life → problematic
  • rural life → gaining value
  • Fidesz → working on the solution

➡️ It does not push aggressively, but guides thinking step by step
