We’ll tear out your tongue and throw it to the dogs.” “Your blood will flow into the Danube before oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline.” — this is how the Ukrainian lieutenant general sent his message to Viktor Orbán.

Hryhoriy Omelchenko has once again issued a death threat against the Hungarian prime minister. All this came after Zelensky, and then this Ukrainian officer, had threatened Viktor Orbán, his children, and his grandchildren with death.

Just imagine: a country like this wants to join the European Union starting in January.

These are the people who fantasize about the death of a pro-peace prime minister and his family, or who have been blackmailing Hungary for more than a month.

And it is with this country and its leaders that the Hungarian left is cooperating.

Péter Magyar and his representatives in Brussels voted for unconditional support for Ukraine, or posed in blue-and-yellow shirts — that is how the Zelensky–TISZA tandem operates.

There is a line that Kyiv’s military leadership has crossed many times over. This is no longer just about Viktor Orbán. The threats made by Zelensky and his people are an open attack against all Hungarians, and we must reject them in the strongest possible terms.

On Sunday, come all of you to the biggest Peace March, and let us stand together for Hungary’s independence and security. Only Fidesz is the safe choice!

“Vitya, we’ll tear out your tongue and throw it to the dogs.” That is what the Ukrainian general said — the same one who had earlier issued a death threat against Viktor Orbán’s grandchildren.

The very last sentence in your text is heavily garbled, so it cannot be translated reliably word for word.

1️⃣ Shock effect built from a cropped quote (selective quote / distortion framing)

Excerpt
“…this Ukrainian officer issued a death threat against Viktor Orbán, his children and his grandchildren.”

Technique
The communication treats a disputed or partially cut source excerpt as an established fact. The uncertain or manipulated base information is not presented as a question but as a closed reality.

Goal
To provoke immediate outrage in the audience rather than doubt.

Effect
The reader does not weigh what exactly was said but is already pushed into a prepared emotional state:
➡️ “the prime minister’s family has been attacked.”


2️⃣ Turning a single person into an entire nation (collective blame)

Excerpt
“…such a country wants to join the European Union in January.”
“Zelensky’s threat is an open attack against all Hungarians…”

Technique
A statement from a retired, extreme-tone individual is reframed as the behavior of “Ukraine” as a whole. A personal remark is magnified into a collective national threat.

Goal
To build general hostility toward Ukraine.

Effect
The reader may feel:
➡️ “this wasn’t one extremist speaking — Ukraine itself is threatening us.”


3️⃣ Using family emotions for political mobilization (family fear framing)

Excerpt
“…Viktor Orbán, his children and his grandchildren…”
“…the death of the peace-supporting prime minister and his family…”

Technique
The text frames the political conflict as a family-protection issue. Instead of presenting it as a foreign policy or communication matter, it emphasizes threats involving children and grandchildren.

Goal
To trigger a strong instinctive reaction and reduce critical distance.

Effect
The reader does not see political communication but rather:
➡️ “an attack against a family.”


4️⃣ Moral demonization of the opponent (enemy demonization)

Excerpt
“…those who are envisioning the death of the peace-supporting prime minister and his family…”
“…the Kyiv military leadership…”
“…an open attack against all Hungarians…”

Technique
The opponent is not portrayed simply as a political rival but as morally corrupt, dangerous, almost inhuman.

Goal
To make calm interpretation or nuance impossible.

Effect
The reader is more likely to accept that with such actors there should be no debate, only total rejection.


5️⃣ Transferring guilt onto the opposition (guilt by association)

Excerpt
“The Hungarian left is cooperating with this country and its leaders.”
“…this is how the Zelensky–TISZA tandem works.”

Technique
Domestic opposition is linked to an external threat. The message is not that the opposition has a different foreign policy position, but that it cooperates with those threatening Hungarians.

Goal
To undermine the legitimacy of the opposition as a political actor.

Effect
The reader may conclude:
➡️ “they are not just thinking differently — they are acting against Hungarian interests.”


6️⃣ Dividing the world into “peaceful us” vs. “warlike them” (binary moral framing)

Excerpt
“…the peace-supporting prime minister…”
“Only Fidesz is the safe choice!”

Technique
The communication constructs a black-and-white moral world:

  • one side = peace, security, Hungary
  • the other side = threat, war, foreign interests

Goal
To turn the election into a moral loyalty test.

Effect
The reader feels they are not choosing between parties but between:
➡️ “peace and threat.”


7️⃣ Turning a threat into national victimhood (national victimhood framing)

Excerpt
“…an open attack against all Hungarians…”
“…we must reject it in the strongest possible way.”

Technique
A personal insult or threat is elevated into a collective national grievance.

Goal
To mobilize collective identity and enforce unity.

Effect
The reader may feel:
➡️ “if Orbán is attacked, all Hungarians are attacked.”


8️⃣ Packaging reality together with campaign mobilization (event-to-mobilization conversion)

Excerpt
“On Sunday, come all of you to the largest Peace March…”

Technique
The stirred-up emotion is immediately linked to concrete political action: attend, join, line up, show support.

Goal
To convert outrage into organized political energy.

Effect
The text does not merely provoke anger — it directs that emotion toward participation.


9️⃣ Authority inflation (inflating rank and status)

Excerpt
“Ukrainian lieutenant general”
“the Kyiv military leadership”

Technique
The speaker’s status is amplified so that the statement appears to be an official Ukrainian state threat. In reality, the situation is more nuanced, as Omelchenko is not a current state decision-maker.

Goal
To increase the perceived credibility and weight of the threat.

Effect
The reader perceives not a marginal figure speaking but a message seemingly coming from an entire state’s military-political leadership.


🔟 Emotional fixation through repetition (repetition for emotional fixation)

Excerpt
“death threat”
“threatened”
“open attack”
“security”
“safe choice”

Technique
Repeating key phrases does not add new information but reinforces emotional conditioning.

Goal
To imprint the core feeling: there is danger, and there is only one protector.

Effect
The message becomes a simple, memorable campaign narrative.


Overall picture

This text is not informational but mobilizing propaganda. Its structure roughly follows this pattern:

  1. It starts from a disputed or manipulated claim.
  2. It magnifies that claim into a national-level threat.
  3. It connects the domestic opposition to that threat.
  4. Then it converts the whole narrative into a call for political participation.

The strongest manipulative element is that an entire emotional-political narrative is built on a cropped or distorted interpretation.
If the underlying claim weakens, the credibility of the entire narrative weakens with it.

fidesz, orban , alexandra , balazska is lying

In the interview he did indeed mention Orbán, as well as his children and grandchildren, but for it to sound like a threat the government media had to omit the other half of the sentence.

The words of the retired Ukrainian officer had to be cut so that it would appear as if he were threatening Orbán’s children.

“They had to cut the retired Ukrainian officer’s statement to make it seem like he was threatening Orbán’s children.”

The pro-Ukraine lawyer is also on the left-wing list!

TISZA is no longer even trying to hide which side they are on. Péter Magyar has placed Márton Melléthei-Barna in a rather prominent position on his election list — a man whose former workplace actively participated in creating the Ukrainian Development Fund and also represented George Soros.

But there is an even more serious issue here. A few years ago, the same firm represented Naftogaz in court — the very company whose president said just days ago, clearly and openly, that they have no intention whatsoever of restarting the Druzhba oil pipeline.

Yes, the chief legal officer of TISZA worked at a place like that. A place where NGOs are boosted to the highest level, where Zelensky’s closest allies operate, and where the energy security of Hungarian families is put at risk.

Péter Magyar has been exposed once again. Within his inner circle is a man who not only refuses to condemn the oil blockade but previously worked for those behind it — this is how the Kyiv–TISZA tandem operates.

As long as the national government remains in power, we will never yield to any pro-Ukraine force or to Zelensky’s pressure.

We will break the oil blockade and stand up for Hungarian interests — which is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

There is a major international law firm network called Freshfields. This is not just an ordinary law office, but a legal network that regularly appears in major political and economic cases. In Budapest there is an office called Oppenheim, whose own history is connected to Freshfields’ past in Hungary. A publicly available list of lawyers also lists Melléthei’s name together with Oppenheim — meaning the Budapest firm that is linked to this international legal network.

This is how the Kyiv–TISZA tandem works. TISZA would send to parliament a man who not only fails to condemn the shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline but previously worked on behalf of those responsible for it.

On the TISZA party list, Márton Melléthei-Barna is in 23rd place, and the party refers to him as its legal director. The Kyiv Post also reported that Zelensky appointed a man to lead the city of Lviv who had previously worked at Freshfields’ Paris office. In other words, the name Freshfields — the same international legal circle — officially appears in connection with the creation of one of Ukraine’s development funds.

Yes, the chief lawyer of TISZA came from such a circle. From a place where NGOs are propelled to the top, where Zelensky’s closest allies maneuver behind the scenes, and where the energy security of Hungarian families is put at risk.

That is already too many interconnected links for Hungarians not to realize what is going on.

Analysis of Alexa’s text – propaganda techniques

1️⃣ Enemy framing

Excerpt

“pro-Ukrainian lawyer”
“Kyiv–TISZA tandem”

Technique

The communication links an external enemy (Ukraine) with an internal enemy (the opposition).

➡️ Ukraine
➡️ TISZA
➡️ NGOs
➡️ international legal networks

All of these are merged into a single block.

Goal

To present the opposition as representatives of foreign interests.

Effect

Readers may develop the perception that:

➡️ “they are not on Hungary’s side.”


2️⃣ Guilt by association

Excerpt

“represented George Soros”
“represented Naftogaz”
“Freshfields legal circle”

Technique

The communication does not criticize a concrete action, but instead builds chains of associations.

The logical structure:

X worked at a company

The company represented someone

That someone is considered a political adversary

→ therefore X is also an adversary

This is a classic associational propaganda technique.

Goal

To discredit a political figure through indirect connections.

Effect

Readers are unlikely to examine:

  • what the actual work was
  • what the person’s role was

Instead they simply perceive:

➡️ “this person is part of a suspicious network.”


3️⃣ Conspiracy-style network narrative

Excerpt

“international legal network”
“NGOs being boosted to the top”
“Zelensky’s confidants”

Technique

The communication suggests the existence of an invisible network:

Freshfields
NGOs
Ukraine
the opposition

This is a classic deep-network framing technique.

Goal

To portray the political conflict as an international conspiracy.

Effect

Readers may feel that:

➡️ “this is an organized foreign intervention.”


4️⃣ Activation of energy-security fears

Excerpt

“Druzhba oil pipeline”
“oil blockade”
“the energy security of Hungarian families”

Technique

The text invokes a very concrete everyday fear:

➡️ energy
➡️ household costs
➡️ supply security

This is a powerful emotional trigger.

Goal

To connect geopolitical conflict to the everyday security of families.

Effect

Readers may feel:

➡️ “this is not politics anymore — this affects my livelihood.”


5️⃣ Narrative simplification (binary framing)

Excerpt

“pro-Ukrainian forces”
“national government”

Technique

The communication divides the world into two camps:

CampMeaning
FideszHungarian national interest
OppositionUkrainian interest

There is no middle position.

Goal

To create a simple decision framework for voters.

Effect

In the reader’s mind it becomes:

➡️ “either you are with us, or against us.”


6️⃣ Repetition reinforcement

Several elements are repeated throughout the text:

  • Freshfields
  • NGOs
  • Zelensky
  • energy
  • TISZA

Technique

This is known as message reinforcement.

Goal

To embed the association in the reader’s mind.

Effect

Over time voters may automatically connect:

➡️ TISZA = Ukrainian interests.


7️⃣ Campaign closure

Excerpt

“therefore Fidesz is the safe choice”

Technique

This follows the classic propaganda structure:

1️⃣ threat
2️⃣ enemy
3️⃣ network
4️⃣ solution

The solution is always the communicating political force.

Goal

To convert fear into electoral support.

Effect

Readers may conclude that:

➡️ “only they can protect the country.”


Summary

The text is not a factual political critique, but a deliberately constructed propaganda structure built on the following elements:

1️⃣ enemy framing (Ukraine + opposition)
2️⃣ guilt by association
3️⃣ international network narrative
4️⃣ energy-security fear
5️⃣ “us vs. them” worldview
6️⃣ repetition-based persuasion
7️⃣ campaign closing message

This communication pattern is very typical in election campaigns, especially when topics such as

➡️ geopolitics
➡️ energy
➡️ national sovereignty

are brought to the forefront.

Tisza’s lies vs. reality.

Yesterday, Zelensky himself spoke about an approaching global catastrophe. The Ukrainian president literally said things like “a world war could happen,” that “we are very close” to it, and that “ground forces” would also be needed.

Meanwhile, Péter Magyar’s party ally, Ruszin-Szendi, claims that “there is no war.” So how exactly would Tisza keep Hungary out of the war?

This is an age of danger: war is raging in our neighborhood and in the Middle East as well. At a time like this, there is no room for experimentation. Only an experienced, responsible leader can protect Hungary’s peace and security, which is why Fidesz is the safe choice!

Tisza’s war-denying lies versus the real threat of war coming from Ukraine.

“There is no war. There is no war. There may be a world war. Do you think that is possible? Yes, it is certainly possible. Do you think it is very close? Yes, I think it is very close. There is no need to fear war. Because a world war would not be only drones and missiles. Somehow ground forces would also be needed; they must not allow threatening positions. This hot war always comes back. There is no need to fear war. There is no war. There is no war. There is no war. It is always possible. It may be that ground forces… They must not allow threatening positions. And then a global pause.”

The text is a classic attempt at political narrative inversion. Its core mechanism is that the original accusation (panic-mongering / war rhetoric) is shifted onto the opponent, while the speaker’s own communication is framed as “realism” or “reality.”

Below are the influence techniques used in the text, listed point by point.


Alexa’s text – influence techniques

1️⃣ Narrative inversion (accusation inversion)

Excerpt

“Tisza lies vs. reality.”

Technique

The communication decides the debate already in the title:

  • one side = lies
  • the other side = reality

This creates a pre-framed debate.

Goal

To establish in the audience’s mind from the very beginning that:

➡️ “one side is lying, the other is telling the truth.”

Effect

Readers are less likely to examine the actual claims, because the frame has already been set.


2️⃣ Appeal to authority

Excerpt

“Zelensky himself spoke yesterday…”

Technique

The argument relies on the statement of an authority figure.

Instead of examining the claim itself, it says:

➡️ “the Ukrainian president himself said it.”

Goal

To make the information appear more credible.

Effect

Readers may be more likely to accept the claim without verifying it.


3️⃣ Contrast framing

Excerpt

“Zelensky talks about world war.”
“Ruszin-Szendi says there is no war.”

Technique

Two statements are placed next to each other as if they directly contradict each other.

In reality, these statements are often made in different contexts.

Goal

To make the opponent’s position appear absurd or naïve.

Effect

Readers may conclude:

➡️ “then Tisza is completely unrealistic.”


4️⃣ Fear framing

Excerpt

“an age of dangers”
“war is raging in the neighborhood”
“global conflagration”

Technique

The communication emphasizes existential threats.

Key elements:

  • world war
  • regional wars
  • global instability

Goal

To trigger an emotional reaction.

Effect

Readers may feel:

➡️ “this is not a time to take risks.”


5️⃣ Stability vs. experimentation framing

Excerpt

“In such a situation there is no room for experimentation.”

Technique

Political competition is framed as:

  • opposition = experiment
  • government = stability

Goal

To portray the opponent as risky and unreliable.

Effect

The electoral choice becomes a security decision rather than a policy debate.


6️⃣ Leader as protector (protector framing)

Excerpt

“only an experienced leader can protect Hungary’s peace.”

Technique

The leader’s role is presented not as political, but as protective.

The classic structure:

leader = shield
country = under threat

Goal

To present the political leader as a guarantee of security.

Effect

The choice appears to voters as:

➡️ “protection or risk.”


7️⃣ Black-and-white framing

The text creates two opposing camps.

Us

  • peace
  • experience
  • reality

Them

  • lies
  • war denial
  • irresponsibility

Goal

To create a simple political worldview.

Effect

The gray zone disappears.


Core logic of the communication

The message is built on three main narratives:

1️⃣ War threat

The world is dangerous.

2️⃣ The opponent denies the threat

“There is no war.”

3️⃣ Only the current leadership can protect the country

This is a classic security-based campaign narrative.

Oh, these assembly-line politicians…

In Central and Eastern Europe, we see the same pattern strikingly often. Out of nowhere, a new political actor suddenly appears. There is nothing behind them, yet overnight they become nationally known. Social media, foreign support, and suddenly the “savior” is ready.

As if they were being produced somewhere on a conveyor belt.

In Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili became the country’s leader after the 2003 “Rose Revolution,” with strong support from Western political networks and Soros-linked organizations. In Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky became a political phenomenon almost overnight, stepping from a television series straight into the presidency. In Slovakia, Zuzana Čaputová rose from a “civil” activist to head of state in a short time. In Bulgaria, Kiril Petkov and his movement also emerged from Soros-connected circles. And in Romania, we see similar scenes year after year.

Hungary has seen something similar as well. Four years ago, pro-war forces in Brussels and the then-incumbent Biden administration tried to gain power through illegal campaign financing and by handing over the personal data of Hungarian citizens to foreign actors (Dávid Korányi, Action for Democracy, the “rolling dollars and euros”), backing Péter Márki-Zay.

Now we see the same pre-written script in the case of Péter Magyar—this time with a strong Ukrainian thread added.

Péter Magyar has repeatedly said that he “needs 20 billion forints,” and meanwhile Ukrainian gold convoys keep appearing in Budapest through indirect routes, with similar amounts of cash…

Western foundations, NGO networks, foreign multinationals, and European party families actively support liberal and pro-Ukrainian political directions across the region. In Hungary, this is stronger than ever—because our country does not support the war, does not support banning cheap Russian energy, and does not support Ukraine’s EU accession. And that runs counter to German, British, and Brussels interests.

The final question is: whose interests do those represent who come to power with foreign support?

The one who pays the bill chooses the music.

We often take it for granted that the fate of a country is decided by the people who live there. But reality is far more complicated.

That is why politicians who appear suddenly and receive massive media backing and international attention in a short time are risky. What they say now may not be what they do once in government. If they seize power, the financiers will come to collect their bill.

That is what Weber, Ursula, and Zelensky are preparing together with the Tisza party.

That is why the April election is decisive. Western pro-war elites want changes in Hungary on issues that cannot be reversed four years later. You cannot remove Ukraine from the EU, you cannot send migrants away once they arrive, you cannot easily restore cheap energy, and you cannot simply withdraw from financing the war.

The candidate of Brussels and Ukraine is Péter Magyar, who would represent their interests in government.

Viktor Orbán, on the other hand, is the candidate of the Hungarian people. He fights only for Hungary’s interests—that is why they want to bring him down from Kyiv and Brussels.

In an age of dangers, when we are not simply choosing a government but a destiny:

Fidesz is the safe choice.

1️⃣ “Politicians produced on an assembly line” framing

Excerpt:
“It’s as if they were being produced somewhere on an assembly line.”

Technique:
Political actors are portrayed not as independent, legitimate politicians, but as products manufactured by external forces.

Goal:

  • to delegitimize new political actors
  • to suggest that they do not have genuine social support
  • to make spontaneous political rise appear suspicious

Effect:
The reader is more likely to believe that these actors are not authentic, but rather “project politicians.”


2️⃣ Construction of a conspiracy-like pattern

Excerpt:
“In Central and Eastern Europe we see the same pattern appearing remarkably often.”

Technique:
The text connects examples from several countries as parts of one large hidden system. This is a political narrative built on pattern recognition.

Goal:

  • to suggest that these are not isolated cases
  • to create the impression of geopolitically coordinated intervention
  • to present the Hungarian situation as part of a larger “script”

Effect:
Readers may begin to feel that everything is happening according to the same plan, meaning the threat appears systemic.


3️⃣ Identification of an external enemy

Excerpt:
“Western political and Soros networks,”
“pro-war Brussels forces,”
“the Biden administration,”
“a Ukrainian connection”

Technique:
The text names many external actors and treats them as a unified threat. This is a classic external enemy construction.

Goal:

  • to frame domestic political conflict as an international attack
  • to portray political opponents as serving foreign interests
  • to mobilize support through national identity

Effect:
The political debate shifts from “government vs opposition” to “Hungary vs foreign forces.”


4️⃣ Guilt by association

Excerpt:
“Soros networks,” “NGO networks,” “pro-Ukrainian political directions,”
“Weber, Ursula and Zelensky together with Tisza”

Technique:
Instead of listing clearly proven actions, the text highlights networks of connections that create suspicion by themselves.

Goal:

  • to discredit the opponent through indirect connections
  • to imply that anyone appearing within these networks is already suspicious
  • to merge different actors into one unified bloc

Effect:
Readers may begin to see these actors not individually, but as a single threatening group.


5️⃣ Suggestion instead of proof

Excerpt:
“Now with Péter Magyar we see the same pre-written script.”
“Ukrainian gold convoys keep appearing in Budapest through indirect routes…”

Technique:
The text often hints, implies, and connects elements without fully presenting the chain of evidence. This is the technique of insinuation.

Goal:

  • to create a strong sense of suspicion
  • to activate the reader’s imagination
  • to form conviction while allowing the reader to fill in the missing evidence themselves

Effect:
The audience may conclude that “something must be going on in the background,” even without clear proof.


6️⃣ The “who pays the bill calls the tune” narrative

Excerpt:
“Whoever pays the bill calls the tune.”

Technique:
A simple proverb-like framing that turns political financing automatically into political dependence.

Goal:

  • to simplify complex political-financing questions
  • to deliver a moral message: those funded from abroad cannot be independent
  • to question the sovereignty of the political opponent

Effect:
Because the phrase carries strong emotional and moral weight, readers may accept the conclusion without detailed evidence.


7️⃣ National sovereignty framing

Excerpt:
“whose interests they represent,”
“Viktor Orbán is the candidate of the Hungarians”

Technique:
The political choice is framed as a matter of national loyalty rather than policy differences.

Goal:

  • to elevate the election into a question of moral and national loyalty
  • to push opponents outside the national community
  • to create emotional identification with the “national side”

Effect:
The political contest appears not as a competition between legitimate alternatives, but as a conflict between patriotic and foreign-serving forces.


8️⃣ Fear based on irreversible consequences

Excerpt:
“this cannot be undone in four years”
“Ukraine cannot be removed from the EU, migrants cannot be sent away…”

Technique:
This is a classic irreversibility fear appeal. It suggests that a wrong electoral choice would be a permanent turning point.

Goal:

  • to create a sense of urgency
  • to push voters toward cautious, defensive decisions
  • to reduce experimentation or protest voting

Effect:
Readers may feel that this is not a normal election, but a historic and irreversible decision.


9️⃣ Dramatic framing: “we choose fate, not a government”

Excerpt:
“In an era of dangers, when we choose not a government but our fate.”

Technique:
The political decision is elevated into an existential drama. This relies on strong pathos and a sense of historical gravity.

Goal:

  • to maximize the perceived stakes of the election
  • to mobilize uncertain voters
  • to frame support for one side as a moral obligation

Effect:
Readers may feel that neutrality or abstention would be irresponsible.


🔟 Binary “us vs them” worldview

Excerpt:
“Péter Magyar is the candidate of Brussels and Ukraine”
“Viktor Orbán is the candidate of the Hungarians”

Technique:
The text divides political reality into two opposing camps, leaving no room for intermediate positions.

Goal:

  • to simplify complex political dynamics
  • to eliminate nuanced evaluation
  • to unify supporters through identity

Effect:
The choice appears as if there are only two options: the national side or foreign interests.


1️⃣1️⃣ Accumulation of examples to create credibility

Excerpt:
Georgia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, then Hungary

Technique:
Listing many countries and names creates the impression of strong evidence, even though the historical and political contexts differ significantly.

Goal:

  • to create the appearance of intellectual grounding
  • to elevate the narrative into an “international pattern”
  • to make readers feel that this phenomenon has already been proven many times

Effect:
Because of the number of examples, the narrative may appear more confident, systematic, and revelatory.


1️⃣2️⃣ Final mobilizing slogan

Excerpt:
“Fidesz is the safe choice.”

Technique:
After building a narrative of threats and enemies, the text concludes with a simple solution sentence.

Goal:

  • to convert emotional tension into political action
  • to give a clear direction for decision-making
  • to close the argument with a ready-made conclusion

Effect:
The reader not only perceives danger but is immediately given a “safe” option.


Overall picture

The text mainly relies on:

  • external enemy framing
  • conspiracy-like pattern construction
  • sovereignty fears
  • emphasis on irreversible consequences
  • “us vs them” polarization
  • emotional mobilization toward the election

In other words, the text functions less as rational policy argumentation and more as a political mobilization narrative built on threat perception, suspicion, loyalty, and historical stakes.

As a mother, I had to hold on when I heard the death threats from Ukrainians directed at Viktor Orbán’s children and grandchildren.

A Ukrainian lieutenant general would reportedly send Zelensky’s “death squad” after Viktor Orbán and his family if he does not change his position regarding Ukraine and the war.

I cannot even imagine what a parent must feel in such a situation. At the same time, I know exactly that Viktor Orbán cannot be intimidated from representing Hungarian interests.

He stood up for Hungary even when no one else did. And Hungarians cannot be blackmailed.

So no matter the death threats, the Brussels-Tisza-Ukrainian cooperation against Hungarians: Viktor Orbán will not surrender, and neither will the Hungarian people.

This is what we must also show at Sunday’s Peace March. Enough of Ukrainian blackmail, enough of the charade by Péter Magyar and Zelensky!

Let us stand up for peace and show that Hungary will not be pushed around!

This video may be a bit more personal than the ones I usually make, but today’s news brought out the mother in me rather than the politician. Perhaps it is also because my daughter is at camp and I have not seen her for five days, and she is finally coming home today, which makes me even more sensitive to news like this.

But when I read that Ukrainians had threatened not only Viktor Orbán personally, but also his five children and six grandchildren, something in me snapped. It is simply unbelievable that in politics there seem to be no red lines left that someone has not crossed in recent weeks or months—whether on the Ukrainian side or among the Hungarian opposition.

If one thinks about why people enter public life, I believe there is only one good answer: to leave something behind for the next generation and to build something that will make their lives better, easier, and safer.

All of us who take part in public life should keep this in mind. For example, in my own office I always keep a few small things my daughter gave me—perhaps a little Christmas message, or one of her first tiny shoes, and many photographs. They constantly remind me that I took on public life because of her, with all its beauty and all its difficulties.

I cannot imagine what it must feel like when the Prime Minister of Hungary reads that his grandchildren and children are being threatened from Ukraine. And why? Simply because he stands up for Hungarian interests and refuses to pursue a pro-Ukrainian policy that would harm Hungary.

Nor can I imagine what it must feel like, as the leader of a country, to face the fact that his challengers—the Tisza party led by Péter Magyar—are allies of the very people who threaten him. Because that is what is happening now.

What is happening is that the Tisza party is cooperating with Ukraine in order to remove the national government and replace it with a pro-Ukrainian government imposed on Hungarians.

When I see videos like this, I cannot help but feel that there are no limits to what Ukrainians would do to bring their preferred candidate, Péter Magyar, to power in Hungary.

I can only hope that love—however sentimental that may sound—is stronger than this kind of hatred.

And I trust that we Hungarians cannot be diverted from what matters to us and what our goal is, not even by such brutally harsh threats.

Our goal is for Hungary to remain a sovereign country—one that we can proudly pass on to our children and grandchildren.

And I believe that at the upcoming Peace March we will show that we cannot be intimidated and cannot be threatened.

We are proud to stand up at the Peace March for Viktor Orbán—the man who has always kept Hungarian interests in mind and who has never been intimidated when it came to representing the interests of the Hungarian people.

I hope that the campaign—although this may be a naive hope—will move toward somewhat calmer waters in the coming thirty-something days.

And to the political actors on the other side at home, I ask them to think carefully about whether they truly want to push the cart of a Ukraine that issues threats like this against the country and the Hungarian Prime Minister—against his grandchildren and his children—and whether they want to represent such a Ukraine in the Hungarian Parliament after the elections.

1️⃣ Activating family emotions (maternal emotional framing)

Excerpt

“As a mother I had to hold on to something…”
“his five children and six grandchildren…”

Technique

The political conflict is placed into a mother–child emotional frame.

The focus is no longer on politics, but on:

  • children
  • grandchildren
  • family

This is one of the strongest emotional triggers in communication.

Goal

  • evoke empathy
  • emotionally involve the reader
  • reduce critical thinking

Effect

The reader no longer perceives it as a political issue, but rather as:

➡️ “an attack against a family.”


2️⃣ Shock threat narrative (fear shock framing)

Excerpt

“death threat”
“death squad”

Technique

The communication relies on an extreme threat narrative.

Key words:

  • death
  • liquidation
  • threats against family members

This produces an immediate emotional reaction.

Goal

  • shock effect
  • fear generation
  • political mobilization

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ “this is no longer politics — it is a matter of life and death.”


3️⃣ Leader = nation fusion (leader–nation fusion)

Excerpt

“Orbán Viktor is being threatened”
“Hungarians cannot be blackmailed”

Technique

The communication merges together:

  • Orbán Viktor
  • Hungary
  • the Hungarian people

Thus the narrative becomes:

An attack on Orbán = an attack on Hungary

Goal

To frame criticism of the political leader as an attack on the nation itself.

Effect

Readers may begin to think:

➡️ “Anyone who is against Orbán is against Hungary.”


4️⃣ Enemy coalition narrative (enemy coalition framing)

Excerpt

“Brussels, Tisza, and Ukrainian collusion”

Technique

Different actors are merged into a single hostile alliance:

  • Ukraine
  • Brussels
  • the Hungarian opposition
  • the Tisza party

This is a classic propaganda technique.

Goal

To create one large, unified enemy image.

Effect

The reader may perceive that:

➡️ “everyone is working against us.”


5️⃣ Hero leader narrative (hero leadership framing)

Excerpt

“Orbán Viktor cannot be intimidated”

Technique

The leader is presented as a brave defender.

Narrative elements:

  • he stands firm despite threats
  • he protects the nation
  • he refuses to bow to pressure

Goal

To strengthen the legitimacy and authority of the leader.

Effect

➡️ “He is the only one who can protect us.”


6️⃣ Moral framing (good vs evil framing)

The worldview presented in the text:

Good sideBad side
HungariansUkrainians
peacewar
OrbánBrussels
national governmentopposition

This is a black-and-white political framing.

Goal

To simplify a complex geopolitical conflict.


7️⃣ Political mobilization (mobilization framing)

Excerpt

“We must show this at Sunday’s Peace March”

Technique

At the end of the emotional narrative, the text calls for concrete political action.

Structure:

  1. shocking story
  2. emotional identification
  3. enemy construction
  4. mobilization

This is a typical campaign communication template.


8️⃣ Delegitimizing the opposition (traitor framing)

Excerpt

“the Tisza party is collaborating with Ukraine”

Technique

The political opponent is portrayed as serving foreign interests.

This is a core technique in populist political communication.

Goal

To weaken the legitimacy of the opposition.

Effect

➡️ “They do not represent Hungarian interests.”


Rhetorical structure of the text

The communication follows a classic propaganda sequence:

1️⃣ Shock
“death threat”

2️⃣ Emotional identification
“as a mother…”

3️⃣ Enemy identification
Ukraine + Brussels + opposition

4️⃣ Hero presentation
Orbán

5️⃣ Mobilization
Peace March


In short

The text simultaneously uses:

  • fear appeals
  • family emotions
  • enemy construction
  • a heroic leader narrative
  • electoral mobilization

This is textbook campaign communication.

According to Zelenskyy, World War III is very close. The Ukrainians are trying ever more desperately to drag Europe into their war. It has never been more important for us to stay out of it. Péter Magyar is assisting the pro-war plans coming from Brussels — we are NOT. Fidesz is the safe choice!

According to Zelenskyy, World War III is very close. And in their war, the Ukrainians are increasingly trying to pull us in as well, in an ever more desperate way. That is exactly why it is so important, in this situation, to do everything we can to stay out of the war. This cannot be expected from Péter Magyar, behind whom the entire pro-war Brussels elite has lined up. That is why the only safe choice is Fidesz.

1️⃣ Activating fear of a world war (fear framing)

Excerpt

“According to Zelensky, the Third World War is very close.”

Technique

The communication builds on the strongest possible political fear:

  • world war
  • global catastrophe
  • immediate threat

This is a fear-triggering narrative that provokes an immediate emotional reaction.

Goal

  • create a sense of urgency
  • dramatize the electoral choice

Effect

The reader may feel:

➡️ “This is no longer politics — it’s about survival.”


2️⃣ The “they are dragging us into the war” narrative

Excerpt

“The Ukrainians are increasingly desperately trying to drag Europe into their war.”

Technique

The conflict is framed as if:

  • Ukraine is actively trying to pull Europe into the war

This is external threat framing.

Goal

  • portray Ukraine as a threatening actor
  • simplify the conflict

Effect

The reader may interpret it as:

➡️ “If we help Ukraine, we will automatically end up in the war.”


3️⃣ False dilemma

Excerpt

“We must stay out of the war.”

“The only safe choice is Fidesz.”

Technique

The communication narrows reality down to two options:

1️⃣ Fidesz → peace
2️⃣ opposition → war

In reality, however, there are many more political options.

Goal

  • simplify the electoral decision

Effect

The reader may feel:

➡️ “If I don’t vote for Fidesz, then I am supporting war.”


4️⃣ Building an enemy coalition (enemy coalition framing)

Excerpt

“The entire pro-war Brussels elite has lined up behind Péter Magyar.”

Technique

The opponent is presented as part of an international coalition:

  • Brussels
  • EU elites
  • pro-war politicians

This creates a conspiracy-like political framing.

Goal

  • delegitimize the opponent
  • elevate the conflict to an international level

Effect

➡️ “He is not just a political opponent, but someone serving foreign interests.”


5️⃣ Ignoring NATO reality

This is one of the most interesting aspects of the narrative.

Hungary

  • is a NATO member
  • is part of collective defense
  • belongs to a shared security structure

Despite this, the message suggests that:

➡️ Hungary can independently decide whether to “stay out of the war.”

Technique

This is strategic omission.

Goal

  • create a simpler political message
  • avoid complex geopolitical realities

Reality

NATO membership means that:

  • Hungary is part of an alliance system
  • security policy is not entirely autonomous

6️⃣ Political decision = security issue (securitization)

Excerpt

“It has never been more important that we stay out of the war.”

Technique

The election is elevated to an existential security issue.

This is a political communication strategy known as securitization.

Goal

  • magnify the importance of the election
  • mobilize voters

Effect

➡️ “This is not just an election — it is about the fate of the country.”


7️⃣ Reinforcement through repetition (propaganda repetition)

The message repeatedly emphasizes:

  • world war
  • being dragged into war
  • staying out
  • the safe choice

This is a classic propaganda technique.

Goal

Make the message memorable and easily internalized.


Summary

Alexa’s communication uses a very typical election propaganda structure:

1️⃣ fear of world war
2️⃣ external enemy (Ukraine, Brussels)
3️⃣ internal enemy (the opposition)
4️⃣ false dilemma (peace vs war)
5️⃣ omission of NATO reality
6️⃣ election framed as a national security issue

The final political framing becomes:

➡️ “Fidesz = peace”
➡️ “Opposition = war.”

🟠 On Sunday we are preparing for the largest Peace March ever – we need you there too!

This is not only a fantastic community experience, but also a clear stand for Hungary’s sovereignty and peace. This unity is especially important now, as Péter Magyar is aligning himself with Volodymyr Zelensky – the same Zelensky who refuses to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline – all while energy prices are already rising dramatically due to the conflict involving Iran.

Let us say no to the pressure from Brussels and Kyiv, and show that we stand with the national government, which time and again stands up for Hungarian interests and for peace!

🇭🇺 Let’s meet at the Peace March on March 15!

Have you never tried it before? Then it’s about time you joined your very first Peace March this Sunday. The atmosphere is always fantastic – there are always huge crowds, everyone is cheerful, and we take a good long walk as well, so it even counts as a bit of cardio.

You’ll see plenty of groups of friends, families, and also people who come alone but quickly feel at home in the community. So don’t let the fact that you might arrive alone hold you back from joining the Peace March.

This time it carries special significance, because by participating we can stand up for Hungary, for our sovereignty, and for our freedom, and we can say no to the pressure coming from Ukraine.

This is especially important because it is particularly outrageous that Péter Magyar and his allies have sided with Zelensky – the same Zelensky who cut off oil shipments heading toward Hungary – precisely at a time when global energy prices are soaring due to the situation in the Middle East.

The fact that Péter Magyar’s camp has chosen to side with Ukraine and Brussels – forces that are currently working to put Hungary in the worst possible position during this difficult period, hoping this will help them win elections in April – says everything about them.

So if you want to stand up for Hungary, for Hungarian sovereignty, and say no to the pressure from Brussels, we will see you there on Sunday.

Let’s be as many as possible! 🇭🇺

1️⃣ Total “us vs. them” worldview (polarization)

Excerpt

“Let’s say no to the blackmail of Brussels and Kyiv.”
“Péter Magyar is playing together with Zelensky.”

Technique

The communication creates two completely opposing camps:

Us

  • Hungarians
  • the national government
  • peace
  • sovereignty

Them

  • Brussels
  • Kyiv
  • Zelensky
  • Péter Magyar
  • the opposition

This is binary political framing.

Goal

  • to create a simplified worldview
  • to turn a political conflict into a moral struggle

Effect

The reader may develop the feeling that:

➡️ “whoever is not with us is against us.”

This is why it can feel as if everyone is an enemy.


2️⃣ Threat narrative (threat framing)

Excerpt

“blackmail coming from Ukraine”
“oil shipments have been cut off”
“energy crisis”

Technique

The text constructs an existential threat:

  • energy shortage
  • foreign blackmail
  • economic crisis

Goal

  • activate fear
  • increase mobilization

Effect

People are more likely to take action (for example attend a demonstration) if they feel:

➡️ “the country is in danger.”


3️⃣ Portraying the political opponent as a foreign ally

Excerpt

“Péter Magyar is working together with Zelensky.”

Technique

This is known as foreign agent framing.

The opponent is not presented simply as a political rival, but as someone who:

➡️ serves foreign interests.

Goal

  • undermine the legitimacy of the opponent
  • construct the image of betrayal

Effect

The reader does not see a normal political debate, but rather:

➡️ “the national side vs. foreign interests.”


4️⃣ Marketing the event as a community experience

Excerpt

“the atmosphere is fantastic”
“groups of friends”
“it’s not bad for cardio either”

Technique

The political event is communicated as if it were a festival-like gathering.

This is social proof + community framing.

Goal

reduce the psychological barrier to participation.

It does not sound like a political demonstration, but rather like:

➡️ a community program.

Effect

People are more willing to attend.


5️⃣ Overemphasizing the “historic moment”

Excerpt

“the biggest ever”
“especially important now”

Technique

This is historic moment framing.

Goal

increase participation.

If something is presented as “historic,” people tend to feel:

➡️ “I have to be there.”


6️⃣ Merging multiple external enemies into one narrative

The text compresses several elements into a single storyline:

  • Ukraine
  • Zelensky
  • Brussels
  • Péter Magyar
  • energy prices
  • the Middle Eastern conflict

Technique

This is called an enemy coalition narrative.

It suggests that all of these actors are working together against Hungary.

Goal

simplify a complex geopolitical situation.

Effect

The reader may feel:

➡️ “everyone is against us.”

Exactly the feeling you described.


The overall narrative in short

The communication follows this structure:

1️⃣ external enemies threaten the country
2️⃣ a domestic political opponent cooperates with them
3️⃣ therefore the country is in danger
4️⃣ therefore people must stand with the government
5️⃣ therefore they should attend the Peace March

This is a classic mobilization campaign structure.


💡 Interesting paradox

While the narrative is about a “peace march,” the language relies heavily on words such as:

  • conflict
  • enemies
  • blackmail
  • betrayal

From a communication perspective this is common:

➡️ peace narratives are often built using conflict rhetoric.

Unacceptable! Former Ukrainian intelligence lieutenant general Grigory Omelchenko has threatened Viktor Orbán’s five children and six grandchildren with an “Ukrainian death squad” because the prime minister is defending the interests of the Hungarian people against Ukraine’s demands.

In an interview, he said that the unit created to liquidate Ukraine’s enemies knows everything about Viktor Orbán and his family, and that if he does not change his position, it could strike. He also added that he hopes for the victory of Péter Magyar.

Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in cooperation with the Tisza party and Brussels, is endangering Hungary’s energy security by blocking the Druzhba (Friendship) oil pipeline, while a former Ukrainian intelligence official openly threatens the Hungarian prime minister and his family.

Despite the pressure and blackmail, the national government says no to Kyiv’s demands. We will stay out of the war, we will not send money to Ukraine, and we will not give up cheap energy.

For us, Hungary comes first. Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice.

An absolutely shocking development has taken place. Viktor Orbán has now not only been threatened personally, but also his children and six grandchildren — with the message that if he does not stop blocking Ukrainian interests in order to defend Hungarian interests, they could become targets.

1️⃣ Shock threat narrative (fear shock framing)

Excerpt

“Orbán Viktor’s five children and six grandchildren were threatened by a Ukrainian ‘death squad’.”

Technique

The communication relies on some of the strongest emotional triggers:

  • children
  • grandchildren
  • a death threat
  • secret services

This creates a dramatic shock opening that immediately provokes an emotional reaction.

Goal

  • to trigger instant outrage in the reader
  • to disable critical examination of the information
  • to elevate a political conflict into an existential threat

Effect

Instead of asking:

➡️ “Did this really happen?”

the reader is more likely to feel:

➡️ “If his family is threatened, then the country itself is under attack.”


2️⃣ Leader = nation fusion

Excerpt

“the prime minister is defending the interests of the Hungarian people”

Technique

The narrative merges:

  • Orbán Viktor as a person
  • the interests of Hungary

The formula becomes:

Orbán = Hungary

Thus the logic turns into:

➡️ Attack on Orbán = attack on Hungary

Goal

to transform political criticism or conflict into a national attack.

Effect

The reader may interpret it as:

➡️ “Anyone who attacks Orbán is attacking the Hungarian people.”


3️⃣ Construction of an external enemy coalition (enemy coalition framing)

Excerpt

“Zelensky working together with Tisza and Brussels”

Technique

Three actors are placed into a single hostile block:

  • Ukraine
  • the EU / Brussels
  • the Hungarian opposition

This creates a conspiracy-like coalition narrative.

Goal

to portray political opponents as serving foreign interests.

Effect

The reader may feel:

➡️ “This is not a domestic political debate, but foreign interference.”


4️⃣ Activation of energy security fears

Excerpt

“endangering Hungary’s energy security by blocking the Druzhba oil pipeline”

Technique

The message connects the conflict to everyday concerns:

  • fuel prices
  • household energy costs
  • utility bills

This is economic fear framing.

Goal

to translate a geopolitical conflict into a household-level threat.

Effect

The reader may interpret it as:

➡️ “If they win, energy will become expensive.”


5️⃣ Political ultimatum narrative

Excerpt

“Despite the blackmail…”

Technique

The story follows a classic structure:

1️⃣ external threat
2️⃣ blackmail
3️⃣ a strong leader resisting

This creates a hero narrative.

Goal

to present the government as a protector.

Effect

The political choice becomes a moral one:

➡️ “Voting for the government means defending the country.”


6️⃣ Campaign closing mobilization

Excerpt

“Orbán Viktor and Fidesz are the safe choice!”

Technique

The campaign message appears at the end of the story.

This follows a classic propaganda structure:

1️⃣ threat
2️⃣ enemy
3️⃣ hero
4️⃣ political solution

Goal

to convert emotional tension into electoral mobilization.

Effect

The reader may feel:

➡️ “This is not the time to take risks.”


Summary – structure of the narrative

The text follows a typical campaign propaganda dramaturgy:

1️⃣ shocking threat
2️⃣ involvement of family
3️⃣ construction of an external enemy
4️⃣ linking the opposition to that enemy
5️⃣ energy security fear
6️⃣ strong leader narrative
7️⃣ campaign closing message

This is emotionally mobilizing communication, not investigative or fact-based reporting.
