🟠 Strength in unity!

In any community, differences of opinion and smaller disagreements naturally exist, but one of Fidesz’s greatest strengths is that, for the sake of our country and our children’s future, we always come together and fight jointly for Hungary.

🤝 In the remaining 23 days until the election, we continue to work with the same momentum and teamwork for success, because only we can guarantee Hungary’s peace and security. Only together can we preserve the achievements we have made — that is why Fidesz is the sure choice.

Overall, one of the great secrets of Fidesz, both as a community and as a party, is that we have always been able to rise above everything. In such a large community, there may be differing opinions and even different interests, but what unites us is that we work for our country, we love our homeland, and we want to build a future together that our children and grandchildren can be proud of when they look back on us.

This has always been what drives us, and I believe this is where our strength lies — and this strength will show itself again on April 12.

🧩 Overall Picture

This text is not about concrete actions or policies, but about constructing an identity:

  • Fidesz = unity
  • Fidesz = the nation
  • Fidesz = the future of families
  • Fidesz = peace and security

➡️ Therefore, voting for Fidesz is framed as a moral obligation

In other words, this is identity-based and emotional propaganda, not rational argumentation.


🎯 In short: what makes it propaganda?

Because it doesn’t prove, it:

elevates political competition to a moral and national level

builds a positive self-image

appeals to emotions

links fear and security to voting

presents itself as the only viable option

The leader of Germany’s largest party, Alice Weidel, is rooting for Fidesz and Viktor Orbán!
She expresses solidarity with Hungarians and sends a message: we must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by either Brussels or Ukraine!
On April 12, Fidesz is the sure choice!

So, of course, we often have very different views from German politicians, such as Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and others. But what is far more interesting is how ordinary German people see what we are doing in Hungary—how they perceive our policies, not from the perspective of politicians, but from that of the people—especially regarding migration and other key issues.

What we are witnessing today resembles something we have seen before in the history of the Soviet Union: an increasingly centralized European Union. The EU is restricting debate, democratic discourse, and economic freedoms, and I believe this represents a significant and concerning shift across the continent.

I would like to wish Viktor Orbán every success in his efforts, because we, the AfD, share many similar goals. We believe that the voice of the people must remain central, and that open debate on key issues is essential.

Thank you all very much. Thank you!
A short break… and we will be back.


If you want, I can also make a short, punchy campaign-style version or a neutral/analytical translation without political tone.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “We have international support (Germany is with us too)”
👉 “We = protection of Hungarians, freedom”
👉 “They = Brussels + Ukraine → pressure”
👉 “EU = no longer democratic”
👉 “Orbán = a resistant/defiant leader”
👉 “Fidesz = the only safe choice”

➡️ Classic formula:
external legitimacy + enemy image + system criticism + savior + mobilization


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Use of foreign authority (authority transfer)

Excerpt:
“The leader of Germany’s largest party… supports us”

Technique:
➡️ involving an external (seemingly independent) actor
➡️ “it’s not just us saying it” effect

Goal:
➡️ increase credibility
➡️ persuade undecided voters

Effect:
➡️ “if even foreigners say this → it must be true”

⚠️ Reality: this is a political alliance, not an objective validation


2️⃣ “Us vs. Them” framing

Excerpt:
“we must not let ourselves be blackmailed by Brussels or Ukraine”

Technique:
➡️ simple emotional opposition
➡️ merging multiple actors into a single enemy

Goal:
➡️ trigger anger + defensive reflex

Effect:
➡️ complex politics → “they are attacking us”


3️⃣ Delegitimizing the EU

Excerpt (distorted but clear direction):
“the EU is no longer democratic”, “similar to the Soviet Union”

Technique:
➡️ historical analogy (Soviet Union)
➡️ exaggerated simplification

Goal:
➡️ erode trust in the EU
➡️ strengthen exit/resistance sentiment

Effect:
➡️ “this is no longer the system we once knew”


4️⃣ Threat narrative

Excerpt:
“blackmail”, “pressure”, “non-democratic functioning”

Technique:
➡️ constant construction of an external threat

Goal:
➡️ fear + group cohesion

Effect:
➡️ “we must decide now → or there will be consequences”


5️⃣ Exclusivity (“only us”)

Excerpt:
“Fidesz is the safe choice”

Technique:
➡️ elimination of alternatives
➡️ false dilemma

Goal:
➡️ stop critical thinking → force a choice

Effect:
➡️ gives uncertain voters a simple anchor


6️⃣ Chaotic, flawed text as a side effect of manipulation

The second part is:

  • linguistically incorrect
  • logically fragmented
  • repetitive (“various performances…” etc.)

This can mean two things:

➡️ poor translation / machine translation
➡️ or intentionally overcomplicated political messaging

Effect:
➡️ content becomes secondary → emotion dominates
➡️ works on a “feeling level”, not a logical one


🧩 Deeper Layer (what is actually happening)

This text does not aim to inform, but to:

👉 build an emotional block

  • us (Hungarians)
  • them (Brussels, Ukraine)

👉 provide external reinforcement

  • “even the Germans are with us”

👉 erode systemic trust

  • EU = bad / not democratic

👉 leave only one solution

  • Fidesz

⚠️ Summary (raw)

This is a classic campaign message where:

➡️ there is a foreign “witness” (Weidel)
➡️ there is an enemy (Brussels + Ukraine)
➡️ there is a threat (non-democratic EU)
➡️ there is a savior (Orbán)
➡️ and there is a single choice (Fidesz)

Moreover, the second half is so chaotic that:

👉 it doesn’t need to be understood → only felt

If Brussels doesn’t like what you say, they silence you immediately.
The essence of democracy should be that everyone can freely express their opinion on equal terms.

Today, however, European politics is dying. If you don’t agree with the West and don’t repeat what they want to hear, your reach is immediately reduced in the online world.

They openly demand and work for a change of government, because the national government bothers them. They want change in Hungary, and they already have their person for it—Péter Magyar—who is known to be unable to say no to pro-Ukraine directives.

The national government will resist pressure from Brussels both before and after April, which is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

Let’s speak plainly. European democracy is dying. It is dying because it is unsuccessful economically. It is dying because it has been entangled in political censorship. It is dying because Brussels has a rapid-response NGO network to censor social media. If they don’t like what you say, they reduce your reach.

And democracy in Europe is dying because Brussels directly interferes in national elections and financially supports federalist forces. Brussels does not uphold the treaties—it betrays them.

And this is exactly what is happening now, before the April elections, here in Hungary as well. They openly demand a Brussels- and Ukraine-friendly government in Hungary.

Well, my friends—that will not happen.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Democracy is under threat (because of Brussels)”
👉 “Those who disagree are being silenced”
👉 “External forces are interfering in Hungary”
👉 “They already have their chosen ‘man’ (Péter Magyar)”
👉 “The national government is the only protection”

➡️ Classic formula:
fear + oppression + external enemy + internal traitor + savior


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Censorship narrative (“they silence you”)

Excerpt:
“they silence you immediately”, “they throttle you in the online space”

Technique:
➡️ exaggerating an invisible, hard-to-prove phenomenon
➡️ turning it into a personal experience (“this can happen to you too”)

Goal:
➡️ create distrust toward all media
➡️ unify the supporter base

Effect:
➡️ if someone disagrees → “it’s because of censorship”


2️⃣ Repetition: “Democracy is dying”

Excerpt:
“dying… dying… dying…”

Technique:
➡️ repetition (mantra-like)
➡️ emotional amplification

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of urgency
➡️ maintain a constant crisis narrative

Effect:
➡️ rational thinking is pushed aside, emotions dominate


3️⃣ Building an external enemy (Brussels)

Excerpt:
“Brussels interferes”, “NGO network”, “censors”

Technique:
➡️ simplifying complex systems into a single actor
➡️ creating a centralized enemy image

Goal:
➡️ trigger anger and resistance
➡️ externalize internal problems

Effect:
➡️ “us vs. them” thinking


4️⃣ Conspiracy framing

Excerpt:
“rapid-response NGO network”, “they fund it”

Technique:
➡️ linking multiple actors (EU + NGOs + tech platforms)
➡️ forming a coherent narrative without concrete evidence

Goal:
➡️ make all events interpretable as part of a larger plan

Effect:
➡️ difficult to refute due to flexibility of the narrative


5️⃣ Identifying an internal enemy

Excerpt:
“they already have their man… Péter Magyar”

Technique:
➡️ tying external influence to a specific person
➡️ delegitimization (not an independent actor)

Goal:
➡️ discredit the opponent
➡️ simplify the election choice

Effect:
➡️ debate shifts from policies to loyalty


6️⃣ Exclusive solution

Excerpt:
“that is why Fidesz is the safe choice”

Technique:
➡️ eliminating alternatives
➡️ binary framing: good vs. bad

Goal:
➡️ shut down critical thinking
➡️ guide undecided voters

Effect:
➡️ election framed as risk vs. security


7️⃣ Emotional escalation + speaking style

Excerpt:
“Let’s speak plainly… That will not happen, my friends.”

Technique:
➡️ direct, “speaking to the people” tone
➡️ strong, decisive closing

Goal:
➡️ build trust (“honest speech”)
➡️ demonstrate strength

Effect:
➡️ stronger identification among supporters


🧩 What is actually happening (meta level)

This text does not primarily convey information, but:

👉 frames reality

Specifically like this:

  • all criticism = censorship
  • all opponents = foreign interests
  • all uncertainty = danger
  • only solution = current leadership

⚖️ Critical note (important)

Several claims in the text are:

  • unproven (e.g. direct EU interference in elections)
  • generalized (e.g. “they silence you”)
  • emotionally exaggerated (“democracy is dying”)

➡️ This is not accidental, but intentional campaign logic


🧠 In short

👉 This is a mobilizing text built on fear and identity
👉 It strongly polarizes (us vs. them)
👉 It closes debate rather than opening it
👉 Its goal is not necessarily to be true
👉 But to have an impact

Viktor Orbán is not intimidated by threats. Even though Zelensky’s side has allegedly threatened the lives of the prime minister’s children and grandchildren, he will not abandon the fight. He is a brave man who has proven for decades that he stands up for the interests of Hungarians even in the toughest debates and against the strongest headwinds—just as he did at Thursday’s EU summit. That is why he and Fidesz are the safe choice.

After the many threats reportedly coming from Ukraine and directed at his entire family, I found it courageous how he responded when asked about continuing the nationwide campaign tour and how seriously these threats should be taken. It started with Zelensky using very harsh language, saying he would even give his address to his soldiers so they could “have a talk” with him. Then came Lieutenant General Zukan, who went further, allegedly threatening his children and grandchildren, saying they know how many children and grandchildren he has, what he does, when and where he is. Brutal.

Of course, I also thought that what the Magyar Alem Institute represents can anger quite a lot of people—even, one might say, a mafia-like state. He is a brave man, that’s all I can say. And I sincerely hope that those responsible for his protection are paying attention, watching over him, and keeping him safe in this situation. But the truth is, the prime minister is not the kind of person who would hide behind walls or move around in bulletproof vehicles. You know what he’s like—he wants to be out there among the people. That’s what drives him. He works for you, and nothing can hold him back, nor do we want to stop him from campaigning.

I trust that everything will be fine. And I also believe that in politics, beyond ability and knowledge—and a fair amount of luck—there is also something like the hand of God. I hope that this protective hand is still over the country, and thus over him as well, as it has been in previous years. I truly hope everything will be alright this time too, and of course, those whose responsibility it is will do everything they can to ensure that.

❗ 1. What is being claimed

  • “a Russian scenario for an attack against Orbán”
  • “intelligence services confirmed it”
  • “a deliberately staged self-attack”

👉 These are very serious claims, but:

  • there is no publicly verifiable, credible evidence for them
  • such narratives often appear in political communication

🧠 2. What is actually happening in the text (rhetorically)

The text you brought is a classic case of campaign and propaganda construction:

🔹 Main narrative

👉 “The leader is threatened → there is danger → he still stands firm → therefore he must be supported”


🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Hero framing

“a brave man”, “he is not afraid”

  • Technique: emphasizing personal courage
  • Goal: emotional attachment
  • Effect: leader = protective figure

2️⃣ Dramatization of threat

“his children and grandchildren are being threatened”

  • Technique: bringing danger to a personal level
  • Goal: shock and fear
  • Effect: strong emotional reaction (defensive instinct)

3️⃣ Identifying an external enemy

“Zelenskyy”, “Ukrainian soldiers”

  • Technique: naming a concrete enemy
  • Goal: provide a simple explanation
  • Effect: “us vs. them” thinking

4️⃣ Protective narrative

“they are watching over him, protecting him”

  • Technique: unseen forces working in the background
  • Goal: maintain a sense of security
  • Effect: combination of tension + reassurance

5️⃣ Invocation of fate / divine protection

“God’s hand is over him”

  • Technique: transcendental legitimization
  • Goal: place him beyond criticism
  • Effect: strengthening irrational trust

⚠️ 3. The “self-attack” narrative

This is a separate category:

👉 “staged attack”, “self-attack”

Typically this is:

  • a conspiracy framework
  • very difficult to prove
  • often rooted in political distrust

📌 In short

  • The text does not present evidence, but builds an emotional narrative
  • The “scenario” and “self-attack” claims are currently unverified
  • The communication very consciously uses fear + hero-building

helyen.

❗Since the outbreak of the war, Viktor Orbán has been the only leader in all of Europe who has consistently stood for peace and has been able to say no to Ukrainian demands as well.
This is what irritates Brussels and Kyiv, which is why they want a change in Hungary.

They would like to impose someone on us who would, without objection, allow Ukraine into the European Union or vote for billions of euros to continue the war—because Péter Magyar would not be able to say no anyway.

❗In an era of dangers, we must place our trust in a responsible and experienced leader who can guarantee Hungary’s peace and security even in the most difficult times. That is why only Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice.

Viktor Orbán was the only European leader who had the foresight and the courage to say what no one else dared to say at the time—and Hungary has benefited greatly from it. I believe something similar is happening again now, as we are almost the only country in Europe firmly saying no to funding Ukraine with our own money, no to sending weapons into this war and thereby getting involved in it, and no to Ukraine becoming a member of the European Union by 2027.

Because make no mistake—despite attempts to deny it, this effort is indeed underway. And at present, one of the main obstacles preventing this—such as approving multi-billion-euro loans to Ukraine, even while Ukraine has blocked the Druzhba pipeline toward Hungary—is Viktor Orbán himself.

They know that over the past 16 years, Orbán has never given up even a single inch of Hungarian interests, and they know this will remain the case in the future. That is why forces in Brussels, together with their allies in Hungary, have formed an alliance to remove the sovereign national government—if necessary through manipulation, pressure, tricks, interference, force, or threats.

Because they know exactly that as long as Viktor Orbán is Prime Minister, it will never be Ukraine’s or Brussels’ interests that come first—but yours. Your interests will always come first.

🔍 Main Narrative (briefly)

👉 “We = peace, security”
👉 “They = war, Brussels, Ukraine”
👉 “Orbán = the only obstacle”
👉 “If he’s gone → trouble comes”

➡️ Classic formula:
fear + external enemy + savior leader + exclusive choice


🧠 Persuasion Techniques

1️⃣ Exclusivity (“only him”)

Example:
“the only leader in all of Europe…”

Technique:
➡️ delegitimizing all other options
➡️ creating a false “no alternative” scenario

Goal:
➡️ shut down critical thinking
➡️ don’t compare, just choose

Effect:
➡️ gives uncertain voters a sense of certainty


2️⃣ Constructing an external enemy

Example:
“Brussels and Kyiv… want change”

Technique:
➡️ framing political debate as foreign interference
➡️ oversimplifying complex realities

Goal:
➡️ create a “us vs. them” mindset
➡️ trigger emotional identification

Effect:
➡️ increases distrust toward all opponents


3️⃣ Fear appeal (future fear)

Example:
“continuation of the war”, “billions for war”, “drag us in”

Technique:
➡️ presenting negative future scenarios as certain
➡️ removing nuance and uncertainty

Goal:
➡️ provoke anxiety
➡️ force quick, emotional decisions

Effect:
➡️ emotional rather than rational decision-making


4️⃣ Enemy + internal traitor combo

Example:
“their parachuted agents in Hungary”

Technique:
➡️ portraying the opposition as servants of foreign powers
➡️ moral delegitimization

Goal:
➡️ discredit the opponent
➡️ replace debate with character attacks

Effect:
➡️ increased polarization


5️⃣ Savior leader myth

Example:
“the main obstacle is called Viktor Orbán”

Technique:
➡️ building everything around a single person
➡️ “without him → collapse” narrative

Goal:
➡️ create personal loyalty
➡️ shift focus away from systems or policies

Effect:
➡️ emotional attachment to the leader


6️⃣ “We came out well” – retrospective justification

Example:
“we Hungarians came out of this very well”

Technique:
➡️ framing the past as a success (without evidence)

Goal:
➡️ legitimize current decisions

Effect:
➡️ “it worked before → it will work again” thinking


7️⃣ Total threat narrative

Example:
“with tricks, blackmail… they will remove them”

Technique:
➡️ quasi-conspiracy framing
➡️ stacking negative terms (emotional overload)

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of paranoia / threat

Effect:
➡️ reduces critical thinking


🧩 Overall picture (very briefly)

This text:

👉 does NOT aim to inform
👉 aims to create an emotional state

Specifically:

  • fear
  • threat
  • loyalty
  • exclusion

🧠 Quick “vaccine” against it

Next time you see something like this, just check:

👉 Are there concrete facts? (usually no)
👉 Is there evidence? (no)
👉 Is it mostly emotion? (yes)

➡️ Then it’s propaganda.

How Anti-Swedish Rhetoric Is Used in Political Propaganda to Mobilize Voters

Stay with the meatballs instead!

A Swedish MEP is telling Hungarians to “behave” and accept that Ukraine will become part of the EU.
Do you hear that? “Behave”!

As if we were dogs or misbehaving children.

I could go on at length about what I think of this, but perhaps it’s enough to say this: show more respect to Hungarians.

The European Union is not a charity. Every Western European country benefits massively from this setup. They put a bit of money into the “common pot,” and in return, we opened our markets to them and their companies.

They take the profits out—of course not all of it, since over the past 15 years, Viktor Orbán has kept 15,000 billion forints from foreign multinationals in Hungary, which we use to fund family support, pensions, and utility protection.

That’s also why they want to remove him. Maybe that’s why this unhinged Swedish representative is so irritated—but I have to disappoint her. No one can blackmail Hungarians, no one can speak to us like this, and I’m sure that just as I don’t know her name now, no one will know it later either—while Viktor Orbán is still governing Hungary.

On April 12, we can also say no to this condescending, dismissive tone. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.


First of all, I want to say to everyone: Ukraine is Europe. But do you want the European Union to become some kind of money-making machine? If you want to be part of the European Union community, then certain limits must be set. It’s that simple.

We do not accept this insolent, arrogant, condescending lecturing—from the European Union or from anywhere else. Especially not from an EU that refuses to defend two of its own member states, Slovakia and Hungary, when a non-EU country is blackmailing us.

Ukraine has been pressuring Hungary with an oil blockade for weeks now.

First, no matter how the MEP speaks as if Ukraine were already an EU member—the reality is that it is not. And after the mafia-style methods they are using against us—blackmail and threats—I believe they have no place in the European Union.

Second, they also know perfectly well that if it were up to us, Ukraine would not become an EU member anytime soon.

Third, what exactly is the representative talking about when she claims that we treat the EU like an ATM? The same EU that is withholding funds that rightfully belong to us as a form of political pressure?

Let’s be clear: there is an agreement between us. We opened our markets to EU member states, from which foreign countries have profited significantly—and in return, we receive EU funding. This is not charity. This is something we are entitled to.

Yet these funds are being withheld because we say no to migration, no to gender ideology, and no to bringing war—together with Ukraine—into the European Union.

So I ask the representative to choose her words carefully when speaking about Hungary. This arrogant, condescending tone has no place in the European Union. And I believe Hungarians think the same—and they will express that on April 12 as well.

No one in Hungary wants this colonial, patronizing, insulting lecturing.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “They look down on us and lecture us from abroad”
👉 “Hungary is being blackmailed (EU + Ukraine)”
👉 “We won’t give in, we will defend ourselves”
👉 “Orbán = protection, opposition = vulnerability”
👉 “The election = national dignity vs. humiliation”

➡️ Update compared to earlier narratives:

no longer just fear (energy, migration)
but dignity + grievance + national pride


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Personalization of the external enemy

Example: “Swedish MEP”, “Brussels”, “Ukraine”

Technique:

specific person/country → easier to direct anger at
complex EU politics → framed as “they are attacking us”

Goal:
➡️ focus anger
➡️ strengthen “us vs. them”

Effect:
➡️ the audience sees not a system, but an enemy


2️⃣ Humiliation narrative (key element!)

Example: “behave”, “as if we were dogs”

Technique:

one word (“behave”) → heavily overinterpreted
emotional framing: not a debate → but an insult

Goal:
➡️ trigger a sense of offense
➡️ activate identity defense

Effect:
➡️ the reader feels personally attacked

👉 This is one of the strongest manipulative elements in the entire text


3️⃣ Activation of national pride

Example: “more respect for Hungarians”

Technique:

appeal to collective identity
criticism → framed as an “anti-Hungarian attack”

Goal:
➡️ close ranks within the group
➡️ delegitimize criticism

Effect:
➡️ anyone who disagrees → “not defending Hungarians”


4️⃣ Simplification of the economic narrative

Example: “they profit, we only get a little money”

Technique:

oversimplification of how the EU works
mutual economic system → reframed as “exploitation”

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of injustice
➡️ build resentment toward the EU

Effect:
➡️ complex economics → emotional narrative


5️⃣ Hero–enemy framing (classic)

Example: “Orbán kept the money here”, “that’s why they want to remove him”

Technique:

leader = protective hero
foreign actors = hostile forces

Goal:
➡️ strengthen loyalty
➡️ simplify political choice

Effect:
➡️ personal attachment replaces rational evaluation


6️⃣ Blackmail narrative (Ukraine + EU)

Example: “oil blockade”, “they withhold funds”

Technique:

disputed situations → framed as deliberate attacks
“blockade”, “blackmail” → strong emotional wording

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of threat
➡️ trigger defensive reflex

Effect:
➡️ urgency + fear


7️⃣ Moral superiority

Example: “this style has no place in the EU”

Technique:

not just political disagreement → moral judgment

Goal:
➡️ legitimize own side
➡️ delegitimize the other side

Effect:
➡️ black-and-white thinking


8️⃣ Electoral mobilization (closing)

Example: “on April 12 we can say no”

Technique:

emotional peak → political action

Goal:
➡️ drive voter turnout

Effect:
➡️ emotion → action


🧩 Overall Picture (very important)

This text represents a higher-level phase of propaganda:

🔺 Earlier phase:
fear (war, energy, migration)

🔺 Current phase:
grievance + dignity + national pride

👉 This is more powerful because:

  • more personal
  • harder to debate (“don’t talk to us like that”)
  • mobilizes faster

⚠️ Key Observation

This is no longer just a political message, but:

👉 identity-based mobilization

It doesn’t say: “this is a bad decision”
It says: “they are humiliating us”

This has a much deeper impact.


🎯 Short Summary

👉 External enemy (EU, Sweden, Ukraine)
👉 Sense of humiliation (“behave”)
👉 Activation of national pride
👉 Amplification of economic grievances
👉 Orbán = protector
👉 Election = dignity vs. subordination

Many still remember the time when young people could barely find work. Before 2010, if you graduated from university and finally got a job, state contributions took away one half of your salary and high utility costs took the other.
People had to live from month to month: there were no low taxes, no utility price cuts, and no meaningful wage growth.

Then the Orbán government came, and we changed that too.
We created one million new jobs, reduced employers’ tax burdens, and introduced personal income tax exemptions for young people under 25, mothers under 30, and women under 40 with two children. We made progress in every area so that everyone could move closer to their dreams.

But now the old world is knocking on our door again.
If the TISZA Party came to power, it would raise taxes on workers and give up cheap energy as well. That would quickly lead to factory closures, layoffs, and high unemployment.

Hungarians do not want that ever again.
As long as there is a national government, everyone has the opportunity to work and the chance to move forward in life. This is what we are working for, and this is what we will continue to stand for in the future.
That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

Just imagine graduating from university, wanting to work, but finding nowhere to go. No money, no jobs, and even if you do find work, the state immediately takes half your salary. This is not a bad dream — it was the reality before the Orbán governments. This hopelessness is what we have eliminated over the past years. We created one million new jobs and introduced, among other things, tax exemptions for those aged 20 to 25. Today, everyone who wants to work can do so, and everyone can move closer to their goals. But we must be careful, because this security can easily be lost. Tisza would raise taxes and cut off cheap energy, which would lead to factory closures and layoffs. Doubling personal income tax would also mean less net pay for you. In April, we are not just putting an X in a box — we are deciding about our livelihood as well. Choose certainty, choose Fidesz.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “The past was bad (before 2010)”
👉 “We fixed it (Orbán)”
👉 “Now danger is coming (TISZA)”
👉 “If they win → collapse”
👉 “Only we can guarantee security”

➡️ Classic formula:
demonizing the past + success story of the present + fear of the future + exclusive solution


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Nostalgic fear appeal (dramatizing the past)

Excerpt:

“Before 2010… there were hardly any jobs… the state took half your salary”

Technique:

  • oversimplifying and negatively exaggerating the past
  • complex economic reality → “bad era” narrative

Goal:
➡️ activate emotional memory
➡️ trigger the “we must not go back there” reflex

Effect:
➡️ irrational rejection of all alternatives


2️⃣ Hero-building (Orbán as the savior)

Excerpt:

“we created one million jobs”

Technique:

  • attributing all positive changes to a single actor
  • ignoring global / EU / market processes

Goal:
➡️ leader = stability
➡️ strengthen personal loyalty

Effect:
➡️ criticism feels like an attack on the system


3️⃣ False causality

Excerpt:

“TISZA → tax increases → factory closures → unemployment”

Technique:

  • assumption presented as certainty
  • skipping intermediate factors

Goal:
➡️ build a simple, frightening chain

Effect:
➡️ “if they come, things will definitely go wrong” mindset


4️⃣ Black-and-white framing (false dilemma)

Excerpt:

“Fidesz = jobs and security / TISZA = crisis”

Technique:

  • no middle ground
  • no nuance

Goal:
➡️ simplify the choice

Effect:
➡️ anyone not supporting Fidesz = automatically “risk”


5️⃣ Repetition (mantra technique)

Same elements repeated:

  • “one million jobs”
  • “tax increases”
  • “cheap energy will disappear”

Technique:

  • repetition creates a sense of truth

Goal:
➡️ reinforce key messages

Effect:
➡️ accepted as “facts” without scrutiny


6️⃣ Personal identification (“imagine this”)

Excerpt:

“Imagine you have no job…”

Technique:

  • abstract politics → personal life situation

Goal:
➡️ internalize fear

Effect:
➡️ emotional decision-making


7️⃣ Security vs. collapse framing

Excerpt:

“this security can easily be lost”

Technique:

  • present = stable
  • future (with opponent) = dangerous

Goal:
➡️ defend the status quo

Effect:
➡️ fear of change


⚠️ Distortions and Misleading Elements

1️⃣ “One million jobs”

✔️ Partly true
❗ But:

  • demographics (emigration)
  • role of public work programs
  • EU economic cycle

➡️ not solely government performance


2️⃣ “Everything was bad before 2010”

❗ Strong distortion

  • there was a global economic crisis (2008) → yes
  • but not a uniform “era of hopelessness”

➡️ historical oversimplification


3️⃣ “TISZA would raise taxes”

❗ Speculation / campaign claim

  • not supported by a clearly proven program

➡️ assumption presented as fact


4️⃣ “Cheap energy would disappear”

❗ Highly simplified

  • energy prices = global markets + geopolitics

➡️ not controlled by a single party


5️⃣ “Anyone who wants can work”

❗ Not entirely true

  • regional disparities
  • structural unemployment

➡️ idealized narrative


🧩 Overall Picture (short)

This text is:

➡️ not informational, but
➡️ emotional mobilization

Main tools:

  • past → fear
  • present → success
  • future → threat
  • choice → simplification

🎯 Final Conclusion

This is a textbook campaign message that is:

✔️ simple
✔️ emotional
✔️ repetitive
✔️ fear-based

AND

❗ designed for persuasion, not for proof or factual argumentation

🌐 No matter how much the online world tries to spin things against us, in reality, we are the majority!

By now, it has become clear that Brussels, in collusion with foreign tech companies, is restricting right-wing content, thereby supporting Péter Magyar’s pro-Ukraine campaign.

👉 However, facts are stubborn things, and the Hungarian people have already made their decision. While Viktor Orbán is greeted by huge crowds and packed town squares at every stop of his nationwide tour, fewer and fewer people are interested in the leader of the left.

But we cannot stop here. There are still 23 days left until April 12, and we must work relentlessly until then. On to victory—go Fidesz!

Algorithms and fake profiles cannot go out into the streets. Over the past years, guidelines and expectations have been set from Brussels toward Meta that effectively required certain topics to be hidden from users. This means that content critical of migration, or of LGBTQ and gender issues, has practically been suppressed on Facebook and hidden from users. What we are seeing now is the same type of intervention.

And I believe that anyone who attended the Peace March or has been present at the Prime Minister’s nationwide events can clearly see what reality is—and what the distorted image of the online space looks like. Algorithms and fake profiles cannot appear in the streets; this is also clearly visible at Péter Magyar’s events.

In contrast, at the Prime Minister’s events, real, freedom-loving Hungarian people continuously stand up against the foreign pressure and coercion directed at us.

I also believe it is outrageous that there are attempts—at this level and in this way—to interfere in Hungarian elections in order to remove a national and sovereign government. A government which, even now, is preventing Hungarian money from being sent to Ukraine, blocking Ukraine’s accession to the European Union from 2027, and preventing the country from being dragged into the war.

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “They want to silence us (Brussels + tech companies)”
👉 “But in reality, we are the majority”
👉 “There is a strong leader (Orbán)”
👉 “There is a weak / artificial opponent (Péter Magyar)”
👉 “The election = reality vs. manipulation”

➡️ Classic formula:
external conspiracy + oppression + majority identity + mobilization


🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Conspiracy narrative (Brussels + tech companies)

Excerpt:
“Brussels is colluding with foreign tech companies…”

Technique:

  • invisible, unprovable background force
  • linking multiple actors (EU + Meta)
  • presented as fact without concrete evidence

Goal:
➡️ create distrust toward all information
➡️ criticism = manipulation

Effect:
➡️ the follower doesn’t question, but “exposes”


2️⃣ “We are the majority” (false consensus)

Excerpt:
“in reality, we are the majority”

Technique:

  • illusion of majority
  • social pressure (“everyone thinks this”)

Goal:
➡️ pull in the undecided
➡️ reinforce group identity

Effect:
➡️ anyone who disagrees → “minority”, “wrong”


3️⃣ Online vs. reality contrast

Excerpt:
“the online world distorts… reality = crowds”

Technique:

  • creating two separate realities
  • delegitimizing online criticism

Goal:
➡️ neutralize negative comments
➡️ own camp’s experience = “real reality”

Effect:
➡️ strengthening the echo chamber


4️⃣ Dehumanizing the opposition (“fake profiles”)

Excerpt:
“algorithms and fake profiles”

Technique:

  • the opponent is not even a “real person”
  • portrayed as artificial

Goal:
➡️ destroy the opponent’s legitimacy

Effect:
➡️ no need for debate → “they don’t even exist”


5️⃣ Crowd scenes as “proof”

Excerpt:
“crowded main squares”

Technique:

  • visual evidence = political truth
  • cherry-picking (only own events)

Goal:
➡️ create the feeling that “victory is already decided”

Effect:
➡️ bandwagon effect (“join the winners”)


6️⃣ Threat + protection narrative

Excerpt:
“foreign pressure and blackmail”

Technique:

  • external enemy
  • country “under attack”

Goal:
➡️ fear + group cohesion

Effect:
➡️ criticism = “helping the enemy”


7️⃣ Mobilization (campaign mode)

Excerpt:
“23 days… we must work relentlessly”

Technique:

  • urgency
  • activation

Goal:
➡️ passive supporter → active campaigner

Effect:
➡️ emotional escalation, reduced rational thinking


⚙️ Deeper pattern (what bothers you too)

The point of the text is not whether it is true, but that:

➡️ it shuts down thinking

Because if:

  • all criticism = censorship
  • all opponents = fake
  • all data = manipulated

then:

👉 there is no information that could disprove it

This system protects itself.


🧩 Why followers “buy into it”

Not because they are “stupid”, but because it works:

✔️ 1. Simple worldview

  • good vs. bad
  • no uncertainty

✔️ 2. Emotional satisfaction

  • “we are the majority”
  • “we see the truth”

✔️ 3. Group identity

  • you belong somewhere

✔️ 4. Cognitive protection

  • no need to doubt

🎯 In short

This text:

➡️ does not inform
➡️ but frames + mobilizes + immunizes

In Brussels, it has been made clear that in the coming years migration pressure, the energy crisis, and the risk of war escalation will only increase. On top of that, they want to force Ukraine into the European Union on us.

Now it will be decided who represents the interests of the Hungarian people: the national government, which protects the country and can say no to harmful Brussels plans, or Tisza, which would carry out foreign demands without question.

Let’s not take risks! Right now, peace and security are the only viable path. Let’s be wise and choose certainty—choose Fidesz!

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “A dangerous world is coming (migration + energy + war)”
👉 “Brussels and Ukraine want to force this on us”
👉 “There is a defensive force (the government)”
👉 “There is a compliant opponent (Tisza)”
👉 “The choice = security vs. risk”

➡️ Classic formula:
global threat + external pressure + internal traitor + savior leader


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Fear stacking

Excerpt:
“migration pressure + energy crisis + war escalation”

Technique:

  • multiple crises layered on top of each other
  • no details → only creates a feeling

Goal:
➡️ overload rational thinking
➡️ trigger emotional response (anxiety)

Effect:
➡️ the reader doesn’t analyze, but “moves toward safety”


2️⃣ Deterministic future framing

Excerpt:
“will only increase”

Technique:

  • future = निश्चितly negative
  • no alternatives, no uncertainty

Goal:
➡️ shut down debate (“this is already decided”)

Effect:
➡️ the choice becomes a “forced situation”


3️⃣ Construction of an external enemy

Excerpt:
“Brussels… want to force it on us”

Technique:

  • EU framed as an aggressive actor
  • “force on us” = coercive framing

Goal:
➡️ evoke sovereignty fear
➡️ create “us vs. them” thinking

Effect:
➡️ stabilizes the enemy image


4️⃣ Ukraine as a threat focal point

Excerpt:
“They want to force Ukraine on us”

Technique:

  • simplifies a complex EU enlargement issue
  • Ukraine = source of the problem

Goal:
➡️ direct negative emotions toward a single target

Effect:
➡️ easily identifiable “enemy”


5️⃣ False dilemma (black-or-white framing)

Excerpt:
“national government vs. Tisza”

Technique:

  • only 2 options presented
  • no middle ground

Goal:
➡️ narrow the perceived choices
➡️ simplify decision-making

Effect:
➡️ if you’re not with them → you’re “wrong”


6️⃣ Delegitimizing the opposition

Excerpt:
“would carry out foreign demands without question”

Technique:

  • opponent = puppet / subordinate
  • no independent agency

Goal:
➡️ undermine credibility
➡️ create distrust

Effect:
➡️ not an alternative → but a threat


7️⃣ Savior-leader narrative

Excerpt:
“protects the country”

Technique:

  • government = active protector
  • implicit: others are incapable

Goal:
➡️ strengthen loyalty
➡️ leader = security

Effect:
➡️ emotional attachment


8️⃣ Activation of risk aversion

Excerpt:
“Let’s not take risks!”

Technique:

  • loss aversion
  • preference for the status quo

Goal:
➡️ reject change

Effect:
➡️ “stick with what feels safe”


9️⃣ Simple emotional closure

Excerpt:
“peace and security” / “choose the safe option”

Technique:

  • positive keywords
  • no concrete content

Goal:
➡️ emotional closure
➡️ reinforce the decision

Effect:
➡️ memorable, easy-to-repeat message


⚙️ Overall Mechanism

This is how the message works:

  1. Builds fear (global crises)
  2. Defines an enemy (Brussels + Ukraine)
  3. Identifies an internal threat (opposition)
  4. Offers a solution (government)
  5. Simplifies the decision (risk vs. security)

➡️ This is a classic “protection vs. threat” campaign model

If Tisza wins, Zelensky will never reopen the Druzhba pipeline.

After all, the European Commission plans to permanently ban Russian energy just three days after the Hungarian elections.

And Tisza’s “Shell-linked” politicians want to break away from Russian energy.
Zelensky wants this too.

So Péter Magyar would have no power or influence to force the reopening of the pipeline.

As a result, fuel prices would rise to 1,000 forints, we could say goodbye to utility price caps forever, and our annual utility bills would increase from 250,000 to 800,000–1,000,000 forints.

Only Viktor Orbán has the strength to break this oil blockade.

If Viktor Orbán wins, the oil will flow again.

No Orbán, no oil. But what does that actually mean?

It means that if Viktor Orbán does not remain Hungary’s prime minister, we will effectively have to say goodbye forever to cheap Russian energy.

In Brussels, they are counting on being able to push us out of our position through various forms of intervention and pressure.

That is why they scheduled, for April 15—just three days after the Hungarian elections—a debate in the European Union about permanently eliminating all Russian energy sources across all member states, including Hungary.

But we must be clear about what this means for us.

It means there will be no alternative but to purchase much more expensive raw materials instead of gas and crude oil.

This would be reflected in the wallets of every Hungarian household. Instead of the current utility cost levels, families would have to pay two to three times as much.

And it would affect all our spending—not just 1,000-forint fuel, but also the prices we pay in shops, as these higher costs would be built into everything.

That is why it is crucial that on April 12 we choose the Hungarian path, and not the Brussels or Ukrainian one.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “If Orbán doesn’t stay → Russian energy disappears → prices collapse”
👉 “External forces (Brussels + Ukraine) are controlling the process”
👉 “The opposition (Tisza) serves this agenda”
👉 “Orbán = the only guarantee of cheap energy”

➡️ Classic formula:
external pressure + economic fear + internal enemy + savior leader


🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Deterministic future framing (“if they win, this will definitely happen”)

Excerpt:
“Zelensky will never reopen it…”
“we can say goodbye forever…”

Technique:
➡️ assumption presented as fact
➡️ no uncertainty, no alternatives

Goal:
➡️ shut down critical thinking (“this is inevitable”)

Effect:
➡️ the reader accepts instead of evaluates


2️⃣ Total causal chain (false oversimplification)

Logic in the text:

Tisza wins → Zelensky decides → pipeline stays closed → energy becomes expensive → everything becomes expensive → collapse

Technique:
➡️ complex geopolitics reduced to a one-dimensional chain
➡️ everything traced back to a single cause

Goal:
➡️ create a simple, understandable “blame logic”

Effect:
➡️ reality becomes simplified and easier to manipulate


3️⃣ External enemy + internal collaborator

Excerpt:
“Brussels”, “Zelensky”, “Tisza”

Technique:
➡️ combining external pressure with an internal “traitor”
➡️ delegitimizing the political opponent

Goal:
➡️ “they do not serve national interests”

Effect:
➡️ moral rejection instead of rational debate


4️⃣ Shock with extreme price claims

Excerpt:
“1000 HUF fuel”, “800,000–1,000,000 HUF utility bills”

Technique:
➡️ specific, shocking numbers
➡️ worst-case scenario presented as certainty

Goal:
➡️ trigger immediate fear

Effect:
➡️ emotional decision-making (not rational calculation)


5️⃣ False exclusivity (“only Orbán”)

Excerpt:
“Only Viktor Orbán has the power…”
“No Orbán, no oil”

Technique:
➡️ presenting a single solution
➡️ all alternatives = catastrophe

Goal:
➡️ narrow the perceived choice

Effect:
➡️ forced political loyalty


6️⃣ Timed threat (3 days after the election)

Excerpt:
“3 days after the election…”

Technique:
➡️ specific timing → urgency
➡️ “you must decide now”

Goal:
➡️ mobilization

Effect:
➡️ panic-driven voter behavior


⚠️ Reality vs. Claims (Critical Points)

Here’s the key part you’re pointing out:


🔎 1. “Zelensky opens/closes the Druzhba pipeline”

➡️ not true in this form

  • the pipeline is a multi-actor system (Ukraine transit, Russian supply, EU regulation)
  • not a single politician’s decision

👉 manipulation: personalization/oversimplification


🔎 2. “The EU will ban Russian energy in 3 days”

➡️ heavily distorted

  • the EU is working on a long-term phase-out strategy
  • there is no “everything ends in 3 days” decision

👉 manipulation: timed panic framing


🔎 3. “Only Orbán guarantees cheap energy”

➡️ not provable

  • prices are determined by global markets
  • alternative sources and contracts exist

👉 manipulation: exclusivity claim


🔎 4. “The EU is also helping rebuild Ukrainian infrastructure”

➡️ this is a real element that the text completely omits

👉 meaning:

  • it’s not “just a blockade”
  • but parallel reconstruction + diversification efforts

👉 manipulation: omission of context


🎯 Conclusion (Key Point)

This text:

➡️ does not aim to inform
➡️ aims to trigger a fear-based decision


Formula:

👉 economic fear (utilities, fuel)
👉 external enemy (EU, Ukraine)
👉 internal enemy (Tisza)
👉 savior (Orbán)

➡️ classic: fear-based energy propaganda


🧩 In short — what you’re saying (and you’re right)

👉 yes, the EU is actively working on infrastructure recovery
👉 yes, the situation is far more complex
👉 yes, there is clear simplification and distortion here
