Csurgó and Somogy are on board! Go, Zita Kelei!

We cannot allow such a risky person to come to power in Hungary—someone who would drag our country into the ranks of nodding along with a “Jawohl” policy. Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party simply would not be able, nor would they want, to say no to either Brussels or Ukrainian orders. For them, the expectations of foreign financiers matter more than the wallets of Hungarian families. If it were up to them, utility price cuts would be over, and the oil taps would remain shut. Péter Magyar’s political survival depends on Brussels, while the safety of Hungarians would be put at risk precisely because of him. They themselves admitted it: if they told everything, they would fail.

One thing, however, is absolutely certain: the national government will not give in to any form of blackmail. We must break the Ukrainian oil blockade ourselves, and we have the means to do so—that is what Viktor Orbán fought for in Brussels. We are making it clear: until there is oil for Hungary, there will be no money for Ukraine! We guarantee this, whether Kyiv and Brussels like it or not. For us, Hungary comes first, and we will not allow the Hungarian people to pay the price of a war that Brussels wants to drag us into.

In the weeks remaining until the election, the question is no longer only about the economy, but also about our sovereignty. Before and after April alike, we need a responsible prime minister who can say no to Western demands and break the oil blockade. And only Viktor Orbán is capable of doing that. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!

Main Narrative

👉 “Hungary is under external pressure”
👉 “The opponent does not serve Hungarian interests, but Brussels and Ukraine”
👉 “Economic security would also be at risk”
👉 “Only Viktor Orbán can protect the country”

➡️ Classic formula:
external enemy + internal proxy + fear + savior leader

Influence Techniques

1) Construction of an external enemy

Excerpt:
“Brussels and Ukrainian commands”
“to Kyiv and Brussels”
“Western demands”

Technique:
frames political debate as orders coming from foreign powers

Goal:
➡️ create the feeling that Hungary is under siege
➡️ portray domestic opponents as agents of external forces

Effect:
➡️ the reader no longer sees political competition, but national defense
➡️ strengthens the “us vs. them” divide

2) Suggesting loss of sovereignty of the opponent

Excerpt:
“a nodding ‘Jawohl’ policy”
“they could not and would not say no”

Technique:
depicts the opponent as subordinate and lacking independence

Goal:
➡️ present Péter Magyar not as an alternative leader, but as a puppet
➡️ judge competence based on loyalty rather than policy

Effect:
➡️ in the voter’s mind: opponent = weak, dependent, serving foreign interests

3) Economic fear-mongering

Excerpt:
“the wallets of Hungarian families”
“utility price caps would be abolished”
“the oil taps would remain closed”

Technique:
connects geopolitical conflict directly to everyday livelihood

Goal:
➡️ shift focus from high-level politics to personal fears
➡️ send the message: this is about your money, not abstract policy

Effect:
➡️ the reader starts fearing for their own financial security
➡️ political choice becomes an existential issue

4) Implication without evidence

Excerpt:
“They themselves admitted: if they told everything, they would fail.”

Technique:
vague, unverifiable claim that suggests much but proves little

Goal:
➡️ create suspicion
➡️ imply the existence of a hidden, serious truth

Effect:
➡️ the reader fills in the gaps themselves
➡️ implication becomes more powerful than concrete evidence

5) Leader glorification

Excerpt:
“this is why Viktor Orbán fought in Brussels”
“only Viktor Orbán is capable of this”

Technique:
condenses protection, strength, and competence into a single leader

Goal:
➡️ present Orbán not just as a politician, but as a defender
➡️ tie loyalty to a person rather than policies

Effect:
➡️ the leader appears irreplaceable
➡️ elections become about personal loyalty instead of programs

6) False dilemma

Excerpt:
“Only Viktor Orbán is capable of this. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!”

Technique:
frames the situation as if only two options exist:

Orbán = security
everyone else = danger

Goal:
➡️ narrow the scope of thinking
➡️ eliminate nuanced or middle-ground options

Effect:
➡️ the voter does not evaluate, but escapes the “worse option”
➡️ political pluralism disappears

7) War and siege language

Excerpt:
“blackmail”
“oil blockade”
“break it”
“will not yield”

Technique:
uses militarized, conflict-driven language for political/economic issues

Goal:
➡️ create a sense of emergency
➡️ legitimize aggressive and uncompromising behavior

Effect:
➡️ the reader feels urgency
➡️ compromise appears as weakness

8) Appropriation of national identity

Excerpt:
“For us, Hungary comes first”
“Hungarian people”
“Hungarian interests”

Technique:
equates a political position with the nation itself

Goal:
➡️ those who agree = “true Hungarians”
➡️ those who disagree can be framed as anti-national

Effect:
➡️ delegitimizes the opposition
➡️ emotional identification overrides rational debate

9) Maximizing the stakes of the election

Excerpt:
“it is no longer just about the economy, but about our sovereignty”

Technique:
frames the election as a historic, existential turning point

Goal:
➡️ mobilize voters
➡️ create the feeling that everything can be lost now

Effect:
➡️ increases political anxiety
➡️ rational comparison is pushed aside

What is the strongest propaganda element?

The strongest move in the text is that it compresses into a single narrative:

Brussels
Ukraine
utility costs
oil
war
family finances
sovereignty
Orbán himself

This is powerful because it creates one unified mental image:

opponent = foreign + danger + higher costs + war
Fidesz = protection + financial security + national sovereignty

This is the essence of propaganda:
not detailed argumentation, but emotional bundling.

Short Summary

This is a classic fear-based sovereignty propaganda text.

Main tools:

external enemy
internal proxy opponent
economic fear
leader glorification
false dilemma
appropriation of national identity

The goal is not to make the reader verify claims, but to make them feel:

👉 “There is danger, and only Orbán can protect us.”

We have extended the national petition until April 8, as Ukraine is still maintaining an oil blockade against Hungary.

Now more than ever, it is crucial that we express—by filling out the petition—that we will not give in to Ukrainian blackmail.

Let’s complete the national petition and send a clear message:
NO to further financing of the Russian–Ukrainian war!
NO to making us pay for the operation of the Ukrainian state over the next 10 years!
NO to raising utility prices because of the war!

Don’t forget—you can now fill it out not only on paper but online as well!

The oil blockade is still ongoing, which is why the government has extended the national petition until April 8. So if you haven’t done so yet, make sure to fill it out if you want to protest against Ukrainian blackmail in this way.

It is now available not only on paper but online as well. We can say no to three things:
We can say no to rising utility costs due to the war,
no to sending money to Ukraine,
and no to financing this war.

Say no as well—until April 8.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Hungary is under attack (oil blockade, Ukrainian blackmail)”
👉 “We are defending ourselves (petition = resistance)”
👉 “They want to make you pay for the costs of the war”
👉 “Now is the time to act (April 8 deadline)”

➡️ Classic formula:
threat + external enemy + financial fear + rapid mobilization

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Threat amplification (crisis framing)

“they are still keeping Hungary under an oil blockade”

Technique:

frames a complex/debatable situation as a direct attack
the word “blockade” creates a war-like perception

Goal:
➡️ immediate sense of danger
➡️ emotional reaction (not rational evaluation)

Effect:
➡️ the reader feels: “something serious is happening right now”

2️⃣ Simplification of the enemy image

“Ukrainian blackmail”

Technique:

reduces the entire conflict to a single label
an entire country = “the blackmailer”

Goal:
➡️ create a clear enemy
➡️ trigger anger and resistance

Effect:
➡️ no nuance, no complexity
➡️ black-and-white thinking

3️⃣ Activation of financial fear

“rising utility costs”, “they will make us pay”

Technique:

pocketbook politics (strongest emotional trigger)
emphasizes future personal loss

Goal:
➡️ make politics personal
➡️ affect everyone → mass mobilization

Effect:
➡️ “this affects me” → stronger reaction

4️⃣ “We say NO” mantra (repetition + rhythm)

3× “WE SAY NO”

Technique:

chant-like, campaign-style repetition
simple, binary choice

Goal:
➡️ easy to remember
➡️ strengthen group identity

Effect:
➡️ reflex instead of thinking
➡️ “you’re either with us or against us”

5️⃣ False dilemma

“either you say no → or you pay / support the war”

Technique:

no middle ground
petition = the only action

Goal:
➡️ steer toward one specific action
➡️ exclude alternatives

Effect:
➡️ narrowed thinking

6️⃣ Urgency (deadline pressure)

“until April 8” (repeated multiple times)

Technique:

pressure through a deadline
FOMO (fear of missing out)

Goal:
➡️ immediate action
➡️ no time to think it through

Effect:
➡️ impulsive decision-making

7️⃣ Illusion of participation

“let’s fill it out”, “let’s send a message”

Technique:

petition = feeling of political action
low-threshold activism

Goal:
➡️ involvement
➡️ sense of activity

Effect:
➡️ the person feels: “I did something”

⚠️ Deeper propaganda structure

This text actually:

👉 does not inform
👉 but mobilizes + legitimizes

Structure:

crisis (oil blockade)
enemy (Ukraine)
personal loss (utilities, money)
simple solution (petition)
urgency (deadline)

➡️ this is a textbook campaign CTA (call to action)

🧨 Why it feels like “overcompensation”

1️⃣ Too much repetition

the same message repeated 4–5 times
➡️ sign of weakness (not strong enough on its own)

2️⃣ Overly direct mobilization

“fill it out”, “say no”, “now”
➡️ not trying to persuade, but to pressure

3️⃣ Oversimplified narrative

complex geopolitics → “Ukrainian blackmail”
➡️ reduces credibility

4️⃣ Petition as a “solution”

➡️ real impact is minimal
➡️ more like data collection / political signaling

5️⃣ Panic tone

“now more than ever”
➡️ classic late-campaign escalation

🎯 Summary (short)

This is a:

👉 fear-based mobilization message
👉 combining external enemy + financial threat
👉 pushing toward low-effort action (petition)

And yes:

➡️ it clearly shows urgency and overdrive
➡️ aimed more at activating the existing base than persuading new voters

👉 While I was continuing Fidesz’s nationwide tour in Csurgó, the Prime Minister was fighting for Hungarians in Brussels. Yesterday, Viktor Orbán did not give in to Ukrainian blackmail: once Ukraine restores oil deliveries and Hungary receives guarantees that this will not happen again, the money can be sent.

With this, we are not attacking Ukraine, but defending Hungarian interests. Europe cannot survive the global oil crisis without cheap Russian energy—this is something they still do not understand in Brussels.

We know that in Brussels they are openly working to make the national government lose the elections and to bring a pro-Ukrainian government to power—one that would provide financial and military support to Ukraine in line with Brussels’ expectations.

🟠 We ask everyone to stand up for Hungary on April 12, to unite against the war, and to say no to Zelensky’s candidates!

While we are here at this forum talking about what is at stake in the election, the Prime Minister has been fighting—and is still fighting—in Brussels. He is fighting against the Ukrainian and Brussels-based blackmail that we have experienced in recent weeks and months. And I believe he will be the only European leader at the end of this Brussels meeting who can return home having done what he promised. He may stand alone among European leaders.

For example, the German Chancellor, who only yesterday spoke tough in the German parliament about how they would break us Hungarians, will likely return empty-handed—with nothing to show and a broken promise—because once again, they will not succeed in breaking us or Viktor Orbán.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Viktor Orbán is fighting for Hungarians in Brussels”
👉 “Ukraine and Brussels are blackmailing Hungary”
👉 “Without cheap Russian energy, Europe will collapse”
👉 “The opposition = a pro-Ukrainian puppet government”
👉 “The election = national defense vs. submission”

➡️ Classic formula:
external enemy + blackmail + heroic leader + final choice

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Hero-building (leader as savior)

Excerpt:
“the Prime Minister fought… and is still fighting”

Technique:

continuous “battle” narrative
single active actor: Orbán
personifies the country

Goal:
➡️ leader = protection
➡️ strengthen loyalty

Effect:
➡️ criticism feels like “betrayal”

2️⃣ “Blackmail” framing

Excerpt:
“Ukrainian and Brussels blackmail”

Technique:

simplifies a complex political situation
presents negotiation as a threat

Goal:
➡️ create moral superiority
➡️ delegitimize the opponent

Effect:
➡️ no “compromise,” only “resistance”

3️⃣ False dichotomy (black-and-white world)

Excerpt:
“we are not attacking Ukraine, we are defending Hungarian interests”

Technique:

excludes alternative positions
presents only two options

Goal:
➡️ narrow the thinking space

Effect:
➡️ any criticism = “against Hungarian interests”

4️⃣ Fear narrative (energy + war)

Excerpt:
“Europe cannot survive without cheap Russian energy”

Technique:

exaggerated, absolute claim
turns an economic issue into an existential one

Goal:
➡️ create urgency
➡️ trigger fear

Effect:
➡️ rational debate is pushed aside

5️⃣ Conspiracy-style framing

Excerpt:
“in Brussels they openly work to make the government lose the elections”

Technique:

external forces manipulating domestic politics
presented as fact without evidence

Goal:
➡️ build distrust
➡️ create a “siege mentality”

Effect:
➡️ all criticism = external attack

6️⃣ Blending the enemy

Excerpt:
“pro-Ukrainian government”, “Zelensky’s candidates”

Technique:

opposition = foreign interests
linking domestic actors to external enemies

Goal:
➡️ delegitimize the opposition

Effect:
➡️ not political debate → “national vs. foreign”

7️⃣ Mobilization through fear

Excerpt:
“stand up for Hungary… say no”

Technique:

election framed as a battle
presented as a moral duty

Goal:
➡️ increase turnout

Effect:
➡️ not voting = “not standing up for the country”

8️⃣ National exceptionalism / isolation

Excerpt:
“he will be the only European leader”

Technique:

“everyone else is wrong”
we are the only correct path

Goal:
➡️ justify a separate path

Effect:
➡️ isolation appears as a virtue

⚙️ Deep Structure (what the text actually does)

This text functions as an emotional decision machine:

Threat
→ Ukraine + Brussels + energy + war

Hero
→ Viktor Orbán

Traitor / danger
→ opposition (“pro-Ukrainian”)

Choice = survival
→ not a political decision, but “defense”

🎯 Overall Effect

➡️ strong emotional reaction (fear + anger)
➡️ reduced critical thinking
➡️ maximized loyalty
➡️ voter mobilization

🧠 Why it makes you feel “sick”

This is a completely understandable reaction, because the text:

does not inform → it directs
oversimplifies a complex reality
relies on constant enemy construction
pushes emotions instead of arguments

The brain often detects this as manipulation, which can trigger a physical discomfort reaction.

It is outrageous — Ukrainians are threatening ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia with imprisonment!

A former Ukrainian politician and soldier said that after the elections, Hungarians who display the Hungarian flag or sing the national anthem should be jailed.

Why should a country that treats its citizens like this have a place in the European Union? Why should we accept violations of Hungarians’ rights?

If Péter Magyar came to power, there would be nothing to stop Ukraine from being admitted to the EU, and our money would be sent to a country that treats Hungarians this way.

However, the national government is capable of protecting Hungarian interests and saying no to Ukrainian pressure.

We will not allow Ukrainians to threaten Hungarians beyond our borders or to set foot in the EU! That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

A former Ukrainian politician and soldier made a truly shocking statement regarding the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia. He said that — but only after the elections — Hungarians who sing the national anthem or display the Hungarian flag should be imprisoned.

So this is how Ukrainians are threatening the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia.

This is a problem that cannot be ignored. We do not believe that a country that treats its citizens this way should have a place in the European Union — certainly not by 2027.

We will do everything in our power to ensure that Ukraine cannot set foot in the European Union, and we will also do everything to make sure that violations against Hungarians are stopped as soon as possible, because this is completely unacceptable.

If, however, Péter Magyar were to come to power, we can be certain that Ukraine would join the EU by 2027, and all the corruption, the terrible treatment, and the pressure we have seen from the Ukrainian side in recent weeks and months would be multiplied and extended across the entire European Union — including Hungary.

What is happening in this text, in short?

The logic of the text is:

Ukrainian threat → Transcarpathian Hungarians in danger → the EU is also dangerous → Péter Magyar would allow this → only Fidesz can protect us

This is the classic formula:

external enemy + internal traitor/weak opponent + fear + savior leader

Main narrative

1. “Ukrainians are threatening Hungarians”

The text highlights a shocking statement and presents it as if it reflects the essence of the entire Ukrainian side.

Technique:

generalization from a single extreme statement
suggestion of collective guilt
building a national threat from an individual remark

Goal:

to evoke fear and anger in the reader
to turn Ukrainians into a homogeneous enemy

Effect:

a single case becomes “all Ukrainians are like this”
the distinction between one person’s statement and a country’s policy disappears

2. “Therefore, Ukraine does not belong in the EU”

The next leap is that if something outrageous was said or happened, it immediately leads to the conclusion that Ukraine has no place in the EU.

Technique:

turning moral shock into a political conclusion
black-and-white framing
reducing a complex geopolitical issue to a moral slap

Goal:

to prevent nuanced thinking about EU law, accession criteria, minority rights
to leave only an emotional reflex: “such a country does not belong among us”

Effect:

the reader does not analyze details
the issue turns into moral panic

3. “If Péter Magyar comes to power, he would let Ukraine in”

Here, the internal political opponent is linked to the external threat.

Technique:

guilt by association
presenting conditional scenarios as facts
stating unproven consequences with certainty

Key logic:
“If he comes to power → nothing would stop it → Ukraine joins → our money goes there”

Goal:

to portray the opponent not just as wrong, but dangerous
to elevate the election into an existential risk

Effect:

the reader does not evaluate based on programs or performance
but feels: “if they come, things will go wrong”

4. “Only the national government can protect us”

This is the closing element of the propaganda structure: first build the threat, then offer the only solution.

Technique:

savior-leader narrative
false dilemma
exclusivity

Form:

not “we are better”
but “only we can protect you”

Goal:

to turn voting from a political preference into self-defense

Effect:

not voting for them feels like supporting the threat
political debate turns into tribal loyalty

The strongest manipulation techniques in the text

1. Fearmongering

Keywords:

“threatened with prison”
“violations of rights”
“blackmail”
“horrible treatment”
“threatening Hungarians beyond the border”

Why is it effective?
Because it does not argue—it immediately creates a sense of physical and moral danger.

Why is it propaganda?
Because the goal is not accurate description, but emotional shock.

2. Collective enemy construction

The text speaks as if:

one former politician’s statement = “the Ukrainians”
certain grievances = the essence of the whole country
all Ukrainian actors want the same

Effect:
It becomes easier to build hatred or rejection if the opponent is not an individual, but an entire group or nation.

3. False causal chain

The text suggests:

a former Ukrainian politician’s extreme statement
→ Ukraine as a whole is like this
→ their EU accession is dangerous
→ Péter Magyar would support this
→ therefore only Fidesz should be voted for

This is not proof, but an emotional chain.

4. Moral panic

The text does not simply criticize—it constructs a moral emergency.

Message:
“If you don’t act now, Hungarians will be oppressed, your money will be taken, and Ukraine will be forced upon you”

This is a typical campaign technique:
it’s not enough to persuade—you must alarm and frighten.

5. False dilemma

The final claim of the text is essentially:

either Fidesz
or Ukrainian pressure, EU blackmail, money transfers, rights violations

This is manipulation because it eliminates all middle positions:

one can demand minority rights protections without supporting Fidesz
one can be pro-EU but critical of Ukraine’s accession
one can criticize the government while rejecting rights violations against Hungarians

The text deliberately destroys this space.

6. Simulation of certainty

Phrases like:

“we can be absolutely sure”
“nothing would stand in the way”
“Ukraine would join the EU”

Technique:
assumptions are presented as facts

Effect:
the reader does not question it because it sounds confident

7. Emotional overload

The text is full of highly charged expressions:

shocking
prison
threat
rights violations
blackmail
horrible treatment

This is no longer information, but emotional saturation.

This is what creates the “nauseating” feeling.
Because the text does not leave space to think—it bombards the reader with stimuli.

Why is this text so repulsive?

1. Because it weaponizes human fears

minority status
national grievances
external threats
financial loss
loss of identity

These are real sensitivities—and the text builds on them.

2. Because it agitates instead of clarifying

It does not explain:

what exactly was said
who said it
how relevant it is
whether there are official consequences

Instead, it jumps straight to political mobilization.

3. Because it always ends in the same place

The entire emotional structure leads to:
“therefore only Fidesz is the safe choice”

In other words, outrage is turned into a campaign tool.

Summary judgment

This text is strongly propagandistic because it:

turns a single statement into a collective threat
generates fear and disgust
merges Ukraine, the EU, and the domestic opponent into one
presents unproven future scenarios as facts
offers only one political solution

In short, the formula:

fear + enemy construction + national grievance + political coercion + savior leader

That’s why it doesn’t feel like a “text” — but like pressure.

If you want, I can also turn this into your usual format:

Narrative → technique → goal → effect, plus SEO title, focus keyword, slug, meta description.

We cannot entrust the country to them: people from Tisza who joke in such a disgusting way have no place in public life!

It is outrageous how disgustingly Magyar Péter’s party colleague, Zsolt Judák, spoke during the Tisza campaign tour. This is not how you talk about or describe women and girls! The Tisza candidate, Zsolt Judák, then gave a very weak excuse, saying he is not used to public appearances—but that is no justification.

We cannot entrust the country to such people, especially in times of danger. They would not be able to say no to migration, Ukraine’s accession, or pressure from Brussels, and it is clear they lack any moral sense.

Hungary needs a leader who protects Hungarian interests, who does not give in to blackmail, and who respects both voters and those who disagree with him. That is why Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the only safe choice.

“The little *** raped the prime minister,” began the disgusting joke of the Tisza candidate, while Magyar Péter was also on stage. Do you think there is still a place in public life for them after this? How? That “little *** raped our beloved prime minister”? Clearly not. Yet there are many people around Magyar Péter who, in my opinion, should have already left public life long ago.

Let us not forget Zsolt Tárkányi, Tisza’s candidate in Debrecen, who was seen in a video making a Nazi salute—something he himself and the party also acknowledged. And then there is this latest incident: this kind of degrading language about women and girls, followed by an extremely awkward excuse that the candidate is not used to speaking in public because he is “just a gardener.”

And these are the people we are supposed to entrust with the country? They would be the ones deciding on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union? They would be the ones protecting Hungary from migration? Absolutely not.

These incompetent individuals simply cannot be trusted with the country in such a risky time. They are dangerous and completely immoral.

🔍 Core Narrative

👉 “The opponent (Tisza) is immoral and incompetent”
👉 “These are dangerous times → we cannot afford mistakes”
👉 “They wouldn’t be able to protect the country (EU, Ukraine, migration)”
👉 “Only Viktor Orbán = safety”

➡️ Classic formula:
moral scandal + incompetence + fear + savior leader

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Maximizing moral outrage

Excerpt:
“disgusting”, “this is not how you talk about women”

Technique:
➡️ triggering moral shock
➡️ not debate → immediate rejection
➡️ emotional trigger (protecting women)

Goal:
➡️ make the reader angry
➡️ prevent nuanced thinking

Effect:
➡️ the entire party becomes framed as immoral

2️⃣ One case → total generalization

Technique:
➡️ one person’s statement → “these kinds of people”
➡️ one story → characterization of the entire party

Goal:
➡️ create collective guilt

Effect:
➡️ individual responsibility disappears
➡️ “they are all the same”

3️⃣ Incompetence narrative

Excerpt:
“not used to public speaking” → “not suitable”

Technique:
➡️ one weakness → total incompetence
➡️ individual → national leadership level

Goal:
➡️ “these people couldn’t govern”

Effect:
➡️ distrust
➡️ fear of mistakes

4️⃣ Fear framing (high stakes)

Excerpt:
“in dangerous times”, “Ukraine, migration, Brussels”

Technique:
➡️ elevates the decision to an existential level
➡️ political debate → survival issue

Goal:
➡️ emotional decision-making
➡️ “we cannot take risks”

Effect:
➡️ dramatizes the election
➡️ narrows thinking

5️⃣ Moral delegitimization

Excerpt:
“they have no moral sense”

Technique:
➡️ not just wrong → bad people
➡️ moral exclusion

Goal:
➡️ prevent identification with them
➡️ eliminate possibility of compromise

Effect:
➡️ deepens “us vs. them” divide

6️⃣ Savior leader (solution frame)

Excerpt:
“only Viktor Orbán…”

Technique:
➡️ presenting a single solution
➡️ excluding alternatives

Goal:
➡️ simplify the choice

Effect:
➡️ black-and-white thinking

⚠️ Key distortions

👉 One event = judgment of an entire party
👉 Strong language = emotion instead of evidence
👉 Oversimplification of complex political issues (Ukraine, EU)
👉 Constant emphasis on “danger” → pressure on the audience

🧩 Overall picture

This text does not aim to inform, but to:

➡️ provoke outrage
➡️ generate fear
➡️ build an enemy image
➡️ push toward a specific decision

💬 Short, honest evaluation

👉 If such a statement was indeed made, it is obviously problematic.
👉 But the text does not stop there — it uses it to:

judge an entire party
and present a single political choice as “safety”

➡️ This is classic campaign propaganda, not a balanced evaluation.

They shamelessly lie straight to the faces of Hungarians—but nobody believes them. In Brussels and Kyiv, they cozy up to pro-war forces, and if they came to power, they would drag our country into war, because they are unable to say no. Viktor Orbán can. Just as he did today. That’s why he is the safe choice!

Good morning to the pro-war Tisza politicians applauding in Ukrainian attire!

Hungarian women—led by female politicians and supporters of Fidesz—have been standing firmly against the war with all their strength since it began more than four years ago. The founding principle of the Women’s DPK is peace, which is why we launched the “Women Against War” petition months ago. With our dove-of-peace pins, we also signal to the world in everyday life: we, Hungarian women and mothers, do not want war.

In recent years, I have spoken with many mothers from Transcarpathia whose sons were forcibly conscripted by the Zelensky regime and later returned home in coffins. Meanwhile, representatives of Péter Magyar pledged support for the war in Brussels and remain under the direction of Manfred Weber, who can hardly wait to send European soldiers—including Hungarians—to the front under the leadership of the European People’s Party.

Thus, the call by a Tisza politician to oppose the war is highly two-faced, shameless, and merely a political stunt lacking credibility. Everyone sees through them and knows: Fidesz and Viktor Orbán are the reliable choice. Only we can guarantee Hungary’s peace and security—as we have already proven.

Imagine this, Szandra! You said that Ágnes has just realized—at one of the NB’s forums—that Fidesz women should stand up for peace and clearly say they reject war. What do you think about that? I call on female Fidesz politicians to distance themselves from this and to state clearly that they do not want war and do not want to send Hungarian soldiers into any armed conflict.

These statements are coming from those who, by 2027, want Ukraine admitted into the European Union—bringing the war along with it—and whose European People’s Party allies, wherever they are in government, are issuing draft notices and preparing for war. And let’s not forget: their direct leader, Comrade Weber, is dreaming about European Union-uniformed soldiers marching into Ukraine. So let’s be serious.

If I take the call from the Tisza representative seriously for a moment, I would return the ball: we have a “Women Against War” petition, and I suggest she sign it too. This petition is open regardless of party affiliation, so we hope Péter Magyar will not shout Ágnes down if she also stands up for peace instead of war.

Ágnes, we are waiting for your signature!

Yes — in light of this, the text becomes even more visibly propagandistic and self-contradictory.

Because today Gergely Gulyás did in fact say at the Government Info briefing that if Donald Trump requested military assistance from Hungary regarding the Strait of Hormuz, it would be “considered”; at the same time, he added that this is a hypothetical scenario and that the Hungarian army is not suited for naval operations anyway. Meanwhile, several European NATO members have openly stated they do not want to provide military assistance in such a case.

This matters because the core claim of the post is:

“We are the only credible representatives of peace”
while
“the opposition is pro-war, hypocritical, and dangerous.”

However, if a leading government figure openly states that military participation would be considered upon a U.S. request, then the text is not simply propaganda — it is projection-based propaganda: it assigns to the opponent a charge that the government’s own statements have already partially opened up.

Main narrative

👉 “We = peace, mothers, Hungarian women, moral purity”
👉 “They = pro-war, pro-Ukraine puppets under Brussels control”
👉 “Only Fidesz can guarantee peace”

But in this new context, the narrative starts to crack — because the moral posture of “never any war under any circumstances” is hard to reconcile with a response to a Trump request that is not rejection, but: we would consider it.

Deep propaganda structure

1. Moral appropriation: “peace = us”

Examples:

“Hungarian women… stand with all their strength against war”
“we, Hungarian women and mothers, do not want war”
“only we can guarantee Hungary’s peace”

Technique:

peace is framed not as a political stance, but as moral ownership
anyone not aligned with them is implicitly placed on the side of war
the message is legitimized through maternal and caregiving roles

Goal:

build moral superiority
delegitimize the opponent without debate

Effect:

the audience no longer asks what is true, but who is “good”
“peace” becomes a party brand

In this context, the contradiction is stronger: if the same side does not categorically exclude even considering military participation, then “only we are pro-peace” looks more like branding than a consistent principle.

2. Projection

The text claims that:

Tisza is hypocritical
Tisza is pro-war
Tisza would send Hungarian soldiers
Weber and his allies want to send troops to the front

Technique:

shifts the vulnerable point of one’s own side onto the opponent
classic political projection:
“we are not the ones explaining — you are”

Goal:

preemptive defense
cover internal contradictions by louder accusations

Effect:

the audience focuses on the opponent’s alleged wrongdoing, not the government’s statement
the debate shifts:
not “what did Gulyás say?” but “who is more pro-Ukraine?”

In this sense, the post is no longer just offensive propaganda — it is also damage-control propaganda.

3. External enemy + internal traitor structure

Examples:

“Zelensky regime”
“they swore allegiance to war in Brussels”
“under the direction of Manfred Weber”
“they want to send European troops to the front, including Hungarians”

Technique:

constructs external threats: Ukraine, Brussels, Weber
designates an internal agent: Tisza
turns a political opponent into an executor of foreign interests

Goal:

trigger sovereignty anxiety
mobilize emotionally

Effect:

the election becomes “defense of the homeland,” not policy choice
voting for the opposition is framed as serving external pressure

This structure is especially useful when the government side has made an uncomfortable statement — attention can be redirected to familiar enemies.

4. The hollowing out of the word “peace”

In the text, “peace” is not a concrete foreign policy principle but a rhetorical shield.

Because if peace were a consistent principle, the logic would be:

we do not send troops
we do not support military involvement
we do not leave the door open to participation upon great-power requests

Instead, the public answer was: we would consider it.
This shows that “peace” here is not an absolute principle, but a campaign keyword — valid until it conflicts with geopolitical alignment.

5. Motherhood as a political weapon

Examples:

“Hungarian women and mothers”
“I spoke with mothers from Transcarpathia”
“their sons… returned in coffins”

Technique:

invokes maternal grief and moral authority
emotional authentication
dramatizes anti-war messaging through personal tragedy

Goal:

make criticism of the message morally risky
anyone questioning it may appear to be questioning mothers’ suffering

Effect:

strong emotional identification
reduced fact-checking

This is a powerful propaganda tool: it ties a political claim to human tragedy, then draws partisan conclusions from it.

6. False exclusivity

Example:

“Only we can guarantee Hungary’s peace and security”

Technique:

monopoly claim over competence and responsibility
excludes the possibility that others could also pursue peace

Goal:

lock in undecided voters
simplify the choice:
Fidesz = peace, everyone else = risk

Effect:

eliminates nuanced evaluation
voters decide based on fear, not policy

The problem: this “only us” claim is weakened by the government’s own statement, which was not a firm refusal but a conditional openness.

The core contradiction

The essence of the post:

“Tisza is shamelessly lying about being anti-war, because they are actually pro-war.”

But today, a government statement enables the counter-argument:

“You are not absolutely pro-peace either — only until your alliance logic is activated.”

So in this context, the text becomes not just an attack, but a defensive counterattack:

quickly claims moral high ground
invokes women and mothers
points to Weber and Tisza
tries to preemptively neutralize criticism toward its own side

Summary

From a propaganda perspective, this post has now become even more transparent.

Its mechanism:

claims a monopoly on peace
while a government figure leaves military participation open
therefore amplifies accusations that the opponent is “pro-war”
wraps everything in maternal, national, and moral framing
and attempts to cover the internal narrative crack

The most precise description:

this is not a simple peace message, but morally packaged, projection-based crisis communication.

❗We’re in the lead again, but we need to strengthen it further!
According to the latest poll by the Nézőpont Institute, Fidesz stands at 46%, Tisza at 40%. But this can get even better!

We need a strong mandate from the Hungarian people, because we must resist pressure from Brussels and Ukraine.

On April 12, let’s show together that neither Zelenskyy, nor Brussels, nor Péter Magyar can blackmail us!
Fidesz is the only safe choice!

46–40 — would you sign off on that? No, 46 is not enough. They’re measuring 46 for us now and 40 for them, but I believe we need a very strong mandate, precisely because enormous forces are working against us at the European level to push us away from our goals. We need the strong support of the Hungarian people so that we can stand firm on April 12 against the pressure coming from Ukraine and Brussels.

This is a textbook campaign message built from multiple layered propaganda techniques. I’ll break it down the way you like: narrative → technique → goal → effect.

🔍 Core narrative

👉 “We are leading → but we are under threat”
👉 “External forces (Brussels, Ukraine) are blackmailing us”
👉 “The internal opponent (Péter Magyar / Tisza) is linked to them”
👉 “The election = resistance or submission”
👉 “Only Fidesz is the safe choice”

➡️ This is the classic:
winning position + threat + mobilization combination

🧠 Deep propaganda structure

1️⃣ “We’re leading, but it’s not enough” (dual message)

Example:
“We are leading again… but we need to strengthen further!”

Technique:
➡️ suggests victory AND danger at the same time
➡️ prevents complacency

Goal:
➡️ activate own voters
➡️ avoid the “we’ve already won” mindset

Effect:
➡️ constant tension
➡️ higher turnout

2️⃣ Numbers as “proof” (46–40)

Technique:
➡️ specific numbers → illusion of credibility
➡️ highlighting a single poll (Nézőpont)

Goal:
➡️ create a “we are the majority” feeling
➡️ pull in undecided voters (bandwagon effect)

Effect:
➡️ conformity (“if they’re leading, that’s the side to join”)

⚠️ Reality:
➡️ polls are snapshots
➡️ results vary widely between institutes

3️⃣ Building an external enemy

Example:
“Brussels and Ukrainian blackmail”

Technique:
➡️ abstract actors (Brussels, Ukraine)
➡️ “blackmail” = strong emotional wording

Goal:
➡️ trigger fear and anger
➡️ dramatize the conflict

Effect:
➡️ “they are attacking us” perception
➡️ rational thinking pushed to the background

4️⃣ Linking internal opponent to external enemy

Example:
“neither Zelensky, nor Brussels, nor Péter Magyar”

Technique:
➡️ placing them in the same line
➡️ implicit: they are on the same side

Goal:
➡️ delegitimize the opponent
➡️ frame them as serving foreign interests

Effect:
➡️ polarization
➡️ stronger “us vs. them” mindset

5️⃣ Raising existential stakes

Example:
“we must resist”, “huge forces are working against us”

Technique:
➡️ war-like language
➡️ exaggerated threat

Goal:
➡️ frame the election as a survival issue
➡️ not just a normal political choice

Effect:
➡️ emotional escalation
➡️ reduced willingness to compromise

6️⃣ The “strong mandate” mantra

Technique:
➡️ repetition (“strong mandate”)
➡️ pre-justifying legitimacy

Goal:
➡️ frame a large victory as necessary
➡️ justify future decisions

Effect:
➡️ voters feel the need to “reinforce”
➡️ a smaller win may seem insufficient

7️⃣ False dichotomy

Hidden message:
➡️ either Fidesz
➡️ or blackmail / foreign control

Technique:
➡️ eliminating alternatives
➡️ oversimplification

Goal:
➡️ simplify decision-making
➡️ quickly steer undecided voters

Effect:
➡️ reduced critical thinking

⚙️ Overall mechanism

This text operates on four levels at once:

Bandwagon → “we are leading (46%)”
Fear appeal → “we are being blackmailed”
Enemy construction → Brussels + Ukraine + opposition
Mobilization → “it’s not enough, go vote”

➡️ This is a highly effective campaign formula because:

it doesn’t allow complacency (we lead, but there is danger)
it builds emotion (fear + pride)
it offers a simple choice

🧠 What you noticed (important)

“they never said that Tisza is leading”

👉 That’s also part of the communication strategy:

Technique:
➡️ highlight only favorable polls
➡️ ignore other data

Goal:
➡️ maintain a stable “we are leading” narrative

Effect:
➡️ keeps own voters motivated
➡️ projects strength toward undecided voters

🧩 In short

This is not just an opinion, but:

👉 a precisely constructed mobilizing propaganda message
👉 built on victory + threat + enemy + simple choice

❗After the Two-Tailed Dog Party announced that they would legalize marijuana, I told them to get lost. In response, their lead candidate, Dávid Nagy, replied.

🗣 You see, this is the huge difference in how we view the world. You treat this as a fact—indeed, you accept it… and so your child will do the same, because their father considers it inevitable.

I, on the other hand, sit down with my daughter and talk to her about never doing it, because it’s not worth it. Not even once.
– Just like it’s not worth drinking yourself unconscious, because it can lead to trouble.
– It’s not worth speeding at 200, because at that speed, if anything happens, it’s hard to get out of the car alive.
– It’s not worth driving under the influence either, even though nearly 10,000 people are caught on the roads every year.

These are just a few examples of things we must talk about with our children, and we should never resign ourselves to “they’ll do it anyway.”

But it’s very clear how you liberals see the world. There are things you consider normal. The fact is, you are in the minority on this… yet you still try to normalize and legalize them—because it would make your lives more comfortable.

This is what drug legalization is about, as well as pushing migration, forcing gender ideology onto the majority, or supporting war hysteria.

But the sober, peaceful majority rejects this—and rightly so.

On April 12, we will reaffirm this again—we, the sober, peaceful majority.

We are the safe choice.

Our children will most likely try marijuana. And then comes the argument: “oh, it’s a gateway drug.” The Dog Party’s lead candidate is basically telling me that I should accept that my daughter will definitely try weed. And he says this as a father himself. I honestly don’t understand how a normal adult parent can accept it as a given that their child will try drugs.

I’m sorry, but I am not willing to accept that my daughter will try weed. Maybe these dangers exist in the world, but I believe that as a parent I am capable of protecting her from them—and I expect the same from my government.

I refuse to accept that this is simply part of big-city life. Just like I refuse to accept many other kinds of nonsense that are being pushed in Western Europe. We’ve heard it before during the migration crisis—people said terrorism is just part of life in big cities; that statement even came from London.

Here in Hungary, we have shown that it is possible to say no to this kind of nonsense coming from the West. And drugs are a terrible form of nonsense that is poisoning Western societies one after another.

I would also recommend that the lead candidate take a look at what’s happening in American cities—how people wander the streets like zombies, piled on top of each other.

And I am not willing to accept the relativization that weed isn’t that harmful, that it’s not so bad, that it doesn’t necessarily lead to harder drugs. In my view, it’s a gateway you should never step through, because you don’t know what the consequences will be.

The fact that Hungary is still not where we want to be regarding the drug situation—that there are still people for whom drugs are a problem—does not mean we should accept it. We and the government are constantly working to eliminate this problem. Will this struggle ever end? I don’t think so—just like many other struggles, it requires daily effort.

But does that mean we should give up and accept that our children will use drugs, that they will try weed?

I am not willing to accept that.

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “We = responsible parents, the sober majority”
👉 “They = liberals who normalize danger”
👉 “The world is declining (the West), we are defending ourselves”
👉 “The election = protecting children vs. moral decay”

➡️ This is classic:
moral panic + parental fear + linking it to political choice

🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Maximizing parental fear

Example:
“your child will do it too”

Technique:
➡️ makes it personal (not an abstract debate)
➡️ puts the child at stake
➡️ deterministic framing (“it will happen anyway”)

Goal:
➡️ trigger emotional reaction (not rational debate)
➡️ activate protective instincts

Effect:
➡️ narrows thinking
➡️ “we don’t take risks → we ban”

2️⃣ False dilemma

Framing:
👉 accept it → your child will use drugs
👉 reject it → you protect them

Reality:
➡️ there are middle-ground options (prevention, education, regulated policy)

Goal:
➡️ oversimplify a complex issue
➡️ leave only one “correct” choice

3️⃣ Moral superiority framing

Key phrase:
“the sober, peaceful majority”

Technique:
➡️ own side = morally right
➡️ other side = irresponsible / corrupt

Goal:
➡️ identity building
➡️ “good people belong here”

Effect:
➡️ debate turns into a belief system
➡️ criticism = being on the “wrong side”

4️⃣ Bandwagon effect (majority illusion)

Example:
“you are in the minority”

Technique:
➡️ no evidence
➡️ presented as fact

Goal:
➡️ conformity
➡️ “don’t stay in the minority”

5️⃣ Slippery slope

Chain:
👉 weed → drugs → decay → Western chaos

Imagery:
“zombies on American streets”

Technique:
➡️ extreme examples
➡️ emotional shock

Goal:
➡️ fear
➡️ “if you allow this → this is what happens”

Reality:
➡️ heavily oversimplified, not a proven causal chain

6️⃣ Issue bundling

Grouped together:

drugs
migration
gender
war

Technique:
➡️ all “bad things” merged into one block
➡️ emotional transfer between issues

Goal:
➡️ reject one → reject all

7️⃣ Enemy image + culture war

Key idea:
“Western nonsense”

Technique:
➡️ external threat
➡️ narrative of cultural decline

Goal:
➡️ defensive identity
➡️ “us vs. them”

8️⃣ Personal experience = universal truth

Example:
“with my daughter…”

Technique:
➡️ personal story → general rule

Goal:
➡️ increase credibility
➡️ emotional identification

⚠️ Deeper contradiction (very important)

👉 It says both:

“we must not accept that it will happen”
BUT: “this is a continuous fight that will never end”

➡️ Meaning:

it actually admits the phenomenon exists and cannot be eliminated,
yet politically sells the narrative that
“zero tolerance = solution”

🎯 Overall picture

This text is not really about drugs.

➡️ It’s about:

political mobilization (“April 12”)

identity (“good parent vs. bad parent”)

fear (“your child is at risk”)

Now pay attention: Brussels is no longer even hiding that it wants to interfere in the Hungarian elections.

The U.S. House of Representatives had already warned earlier that the EU is trying to influence elections through online tools, just as it did during the 2024 European Parliament elections and in several member states’ elections as well.

And now it seems the same scenario is unfolding in Hungary.

A well-known figure from Elon Musk’s circle, Mario Nawfal, has spoken about how “fact-checking” networks linked to Brussels are filtering political content through Facebook.

Not all of it — only the content that gets in the way.

And who does this benefit?

Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party — those who serve the pro-war Brussels agenda.

Because Brussels doesn’t want those who argue — it wants those who execute.

They know that the national government would never carry out the demands of Brussels and Kyiv, so they want to bring a party to power that cannot say no to expectations imposed on Hungary. In return for their support, Tisza would send Hungarian money to Ukraine, phase out cheap Russian energy from Hungary, and approve Ukraine’s EU membership — thereby dragging our country into the war.

Let us not allow a puppet government from Kyiv to be placed on our necks! Hungary’s future must be decided only by Hungarians!

Only the national government can guarantee peace and the security of the Hungarian people!

For them, Ukraine comes first — for us, Hungary comes first! Fidesz is the safe choice!

🔍 1. “Brussels wants to interfere in Hungarian elections”

The European Union has no direct authority to conduct or manipulate national elections.

What it does: regulation (e.g. digital platforms, misinformation, transparency of political ads).

These are general rules applied to all member states, not targeted “interventions.”

👉 Conclusion: this claim is more of a political interpretation than a proven fact.

🌐 2. “The EU influences elections through online tools”

The EU does address disinformation (e.g. European External Action Service StratCom).

However, there is no credible evidence that it has specifically manipulated Hungarian elections.

In this context, “influence” usually means:

acting against false information
regulating political advertising

👉 This is not the same as election fraud or direct interference.

📱 3. “Fact-checkers filter content on Facebook”

Meta Platforms (Facebook) does use independent fact-checkers.

These are:

civil organizations
operating in multiple countries

There is no evidence that:

“Brussels controls them”
they target a specific Hungarian party

👉 Moderation is often debated, but a coordinated conspiracy is not proven.

🧑‍💼 4. “Mario Nawfal and Elon Musk’s circle”

Mario Nawfal is a known online influencer, but not an official source.

Being associated with Elon Musk does not guarantee credibility.

Such statements are often:

opinions
unverified claims

👉 Source criticism is essential here.

🇭🇺 5. “Péter Magyar / Tisza = Brussels puppets”

Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party are political actors.

Calling them “puppets” is a value judgment, not a factual claim.

There is no evidence that:

the EU wants to “install a government”
or bring a specific party to power

⚠️ 6. “Hungary would be dragged into war”

The EU supports Ukraine, but:

Hungary, as an EU and NATO member, makes sovereign decisions
there is no mechanism that could “force” Hungary into war

👉 This is a strongly fear-based narrative.

🧠 Overall picture (what kind of text is this?)

This is typically:

emotionally driven (fear, “external enemy”)
oversimplified
framed as “us vs. them”
lacking concrete, verifiable evidence

👉 In short: a political campaign message / propaganda, not an objective analysis.
