🚨 The largest Ukrainian public-affairs influencer, who has 13 million followers, has outlined the six points of the “Zelensky plan,” which allegedly aims to replace Viktor Orbán with Péter Magyar.

  1. Every political reaction should “serve Orbán’s defeat.”
  2. Hungary should not be attacked directly; instead, pressure should be applied through Brussels.
  3. Péter Magyar should be allowed to freely criticize Ukraine, but this would only be a performance until the elections: “time must be given to Magyar to criticize us; we have to play along with him.”
  4. Influence Hungarian voters in Transcarpathia so that they either vote for Tisza or do not vote at all.
  5. Achieve the same among the Hungarian minority in Transylvania, together with the Romanian government, where there is already “experience in cooperation.”
  6. Conduct information warfare by amplifying anti-Orbán narratives, scandals, and fake news in the Hungarian public sphere.

Outrageous and scandalous. Tisza is deeply in the Ukrainians’ pocket. On April 12, we must defend our country’s independence and stand up for peace!

🟠 Only Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice!


One of the Ukrainian public influencers with the largest reach spoke about this six-point plan describing how they should coordinate with Péter Magyar’s camp. The information contains critical claims.

According to him, in order to create a situation where Hungary would have a Ukraine-friendly government instead of the current national government, this man openly says that Péter Magyar should be allowed during the election period—while implicitly coordinating with Ukraine—to criticize certain Ukrainian positions. But this would only serve the purpose of helping Péter Magyar come to power in Hungary.

After that, all the things that Viktor Orbán and the current government are currently blocking would supposedly be implemented together with Péter Magyar—for example allowing Ukraine to join the European Union from 2027, or sending Hungarian taxpayers’ money to Ukraine.

This is exactly what we do not want to allow.

1️⃣ Construction of a Conspiracy Narrative (conspiracy framing)

Excerpt

“Six points of the Zelensky plan… how to cooperate with Péter Magyar.”

Technique

The text claims the existence of a secret political plan in which:

  • foreign actors
  • an opposition politician
  • international organizations

are allegedly working together to replace the Hungarian government.

Problem

The text:

  • does not provide a specific source
  • does not quote a verifiable statement
  • does not present the full context

Goal

To create suspicion and distrust.

Effect

The reader may feel that

➡️ a secret international conspiracy is taking place against Hungary.


2️⃣ Building an External Enemy Image (external enemy framing)

Excerpt

“a Ukrainian-friendly government”
“they are in the Ukrainians’ pocket”

Technique

The political opponent is portrayed as representing foreign interests.

Goal

To transform the political debate into a national defense issue.

Effect

Voters may perceive that

➡️ the election is not a political competition
➡️ but rather “the defense of Hungary.”


3️⃣ Guilt by Association

Excerpt

“Tisza is deeply in the Ukrainians’ pocket.”

Technique

A political party is linked to a foreign power without evidence.

This is a common propaganda method:

  • “Brussels’ man”
  • “Soros’ man”
  • “Russian agent”
  • “Ukrainian puppet”

Goal

To question the loyalty of the opponent.

Effect

The reader may feel that

➡️ the opponent does not represent their own country.


4️⃣ Selective Information and Vague Source (vague source technique)

Excerpt

“the biggest Ukrainian influencer… with 13 million followers”

Technique

The text suggests credibility, but provides no:

  • name
  • precise quotation
  • link
  • full video
  • context

Goal

To make the source difficult to verify, while still appearing credible.

Effect

The reader may think:

➡️ “If such a big influencer said it, it must be true.”


5️⃣ Political Theater Narrative (strategic deception framing)

Excerpt

“Péter Magyar may criticize Ukraine, but it is only a performance.”

Technique

This is an immunizing propaganda tactic.

The logic:

  • if he criticizes → that is proof
  • if he does not criticize → that is also proof

Goal

To present every possible behavior of the opponent as manipulation.

Effect

For the reader:

➡️ there is no information that could disprove the narrative.


6️⃣ Information Warfare Rhetoric (information warfare framing)

Excerpt

“information warfare with anti-Orbán narratives”

Technique

Political criticism is framed as warfare.

Goal

To elevate political debate into a security issue.

Effect

The reader may feel that

➡️ criticism is not democratic debate
➡️ but rather an attack.


7️⃣ Electoral Mobilization (electoral mobilization framing)

Excerpt

“on April 12 we must defend the independence of our country”

Technique

The entire narrative ends in an electoral call to action.

This is a classic campaign structure:

  1. presenting a threat
  2. identifying an enemy
  3. offering a solution

Solution

“Only Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice.”


📊 The Overall Propaganda Formula of the Text

The communication follows this logic:

1️⃣ foreign conspiracy
2️⃣ opposition = foreign puppet
3️⃣ secret plan against Hungary
4️⃣ information warfare
5️⃣ election = defense of the country

This structure is one of the most common narratives in modern campaign propaganda.


Important note

A propaganda analysis does not claim that a statement is true or false.

Instead, it examines:

➡️ how the text attempts to influence the reader.

alexa

The death threat from Zelensky is outrageous.

After Hungary has provided every possible form of assistance to its neighboring country for five years, the Ukrainian president responds with an oil blockade and a life-threatening threat against our country’s prime minister. We know that Zelensky wants a change of government here, because he would like to place a pro-Ukrainian puppet in power who would not be able to say no to these demands.

Viktor Orbán received these threats and we are being blackmailed simply because we are not willing to send either weapons or money into this senseless war. We are the only ones standing firmly for Hungarian interests, which is why Fidesz is the reliable choice.

I never thought that in this election campaign we would have to witness Ukrainians—whom we have been helping with humanitarian support for four years in this war—issuing death threats against the Hungarian prime minister. President Zelensky even said that he would give the address of the Hungarian prime minister to his armed forces so that they could “have a conversation with him.”

This is completely outrageous and unbelievable. And what did Viktor Orbán do to deserve this? Only one thing: he represents Hungarian interests rather than Ukrainian ones, just as a responsible Hungarian prime minister should.

The whole conflict stems from the fact that Zelensky does not like our response to their own decision to shut down the Druzhba oil pipeline. In response, we said that as long as they play such games against Hungarians, we will not be willing to support any decisions that favor Ukraine.

Let’s not be treated like fools or played with. On April 12, Hungarians will stand up for Hungarian interests—and they will continue to do so afterward. We see through what is happening, and we know who is standing with Hungarians in this situation, and who is cooperating with the Ukrainians even now. Because regarding the shutdown of the Druzhba pipeline, we know very well that it was discussed in Munich with the mediation of pro-war European politicians, together with the Ukrainians and the Tisza Party.

1️⃣ Claim without evidence (fabricated claim / unsupported assertion)

Excerpt

“Zelensky has issued a death threat against the Hungarian Prime Minister.”

Technique

The text begins with an extremely serious claim:

➡️ “death threat”

However, this is not a quotation, and it is not accompanied by:

  • a specific sentence
  • a source
  • the full context

The communication therefore presents an interpretation as if it were a fact.

Goal

  • a shocking opening
  • triggering an immediate emotional reaction
  • putting the reader into a defensive mindset

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ Hungary is under a direct life-threatening danger.

This significantly overrides rational interpretation.


2️⃣ Distortion of words (quote distortion)

Excerpt

“he will give the address of the Hungarian Prime Minister to his armed forces”

Technique

Propaganda often:

  • extracts a fragment of a sentence
  • assigns a new meaning to it

A diplomatic or political remark is then interpreted as if it were:

➡️ a military threat.

Goal

to portray the opponent as aggressive and irrational.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ Ukraine might even be preparing a physical attack against Hungary.


3️⃣ Construction of an external enemy (external enemy framing)

Excerpt

“the Ukrainians … are issuing a deadly threat to the Hungarian Prime Minister”

Technique

The communication designates a foreign enemy:

➡️ Ukraine
➡️ Zelensky

This is a classic mobilizing propaganda tool.

Goal

  • to elevate the political conflict into a national security issue
  • to place the government in the role of defender

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ this is not an internal political debate
➡️ but rather an attack against Hungary.


4️⃣ Linking internal opponents with an external enemy (dual enemy framing)

Excerpt

“they discussed it together with the Tisza Party in Munich”

Technique

The propaganda merges two actors into a single block:

external enemy
➡️ Ukraine

domestic political opponent
➡️ Tisza Party

Goal

to portray the opposition as serving foreign interests.

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ the opposition is not simply representing a different political view
➡️ but is “collaborating” with foreign actors.


5️⃣ Conspiracy narrative (conspiracy framing)

Excerpt

“they discussed it in Munich with the Ukrainians and the Tisza Party”

Technique

The text suggests a secret background deal.

What is missing:

  • evidence
  • a concrete event
  • documentation

Goal

  • creating suspicion
  • delegitimizing the political opponent

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ some kind of hidden background process is taking place.


6️⃣ Narrative of national identity (patriotic framing)

Excerpt

“Viktor Orbán represents Hungarian interests”

Technique

The political position is linked to national identity.

Implicit message:

➡️ those who disagree are acting against Hungarian interests.

Goal

  • turning a political debate into a moral issue
  • legitimizing the speaker’s side

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the election becomes a patriotic duty.


7️⃣ Threat narrative combined with electoral mobilization (threat-mobilization framing)

Excerpt

“the Hungarian people will stand up on April 12”

Technique

The communication connects the threat narrative with electoral mobilization.

Goal

to transform emotional reaction into voting motivation.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the election is part of defending the nation.


8️⃣ Hero narrative (leader hero framing)

Excerpt

“Viktor Orbán received threats because he defends Hungarian interests”

Technique

The leader is portrayed as a defender under attack.

Goal

  • personal legitimization
  • strengthening loyalty around the leader

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the leader is taking attacks on himself for our sake.


Summary

The text is not primarily information, but campaign communication combining several propaganda techniques.

Main elements:

1️⃣ threat narrative
2️⃣ distortion of quotations
3️⃣ construction of an external enemy
4️⃣ linking the domestic opposition with foreign actors
5️⃣ conspiracy framing
6️⃣ patriotic mobilization
7️⃣ leader-hero narrative
8️⃣ electoral mobilization

Core structure of the narrative:

➡️ external threat + internal betrayal + strong leader

This is one of the most common modern political propaganda structures.

The mood of the Hungarian economy and the confidence index have reached a two-year high — a result that even the left-wing media is forced to acknowledge.

This is thanks to the national government, which does not abandon Hungarian families, the elderly, or businesses even when Europe’s economy is weakening and the leaders in Brussels are preparing for war.

Here are just a few examples of what we can thank the government for:
home-creation subsidies, tax benefits, the armed forces bonus, and the 13th and 14th month pensions — these are not benefits that come automatically.

While the Tisza party puts Brussels’ and Ukraine’s interests first, we stand with the Hungarian people, even in a difficult global political situation.

That is why Fidesz is the safe choice on April 12.

Hold on, because I have news that even the left-wing press cannot ignore. The mood of the Hungarian economy has reached a two-year high. Yes, even they are forced to admit it. But why is it rising?

Because Hungarians can clearly see that despite the difficult international environment, we have a government that does not leave families and the elderly on their own.

Let’s look at the facts: tax benefits, home-creation subsidies, the armed forces bonus, the 13th and 14th month pensions — and we could go on.

While Tisza represents Brussels’ and Ukraine’s interests, we always stand with the Hungarian people. We have a government that puts the prosperity of Hungarians first, even in the most difficult global political circumstances.

And the confidence index shows that you also value stability and predictability.

Let’s continue on this path. Only Fidesz is the safe choice.


1️⃣ Selective statistics

Excerpt

“Hungarian economic sentiment and the confidence index are at a two-year high.”

Technique

The message highlights a single positive indicator from the economy.

For example, it does not mention:

  • inflation
  • real wage developments
  • the budget deficit
  • economic growth

Goal

To create a positive image of the economy based on a single data point.

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the economy is performing well overall.


2️⃣ Building an external enemy narrative (external enemy framing)

Excerpt

“Brussels leaders are preparing for war.”

Technique

The political debate is framed as an external threat.

The word “Brussels” functions here as a political symbol, not as a specific institution.

Goal

  • to present the government’s position as defensive
  • to frame the conflict as an issue of national sovereignty

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ Hungary is being threatened by external forces.


3️⃣ Delegitimizing the internal opponent (internal enemy framing)

Excerpt

“Tisza puts Brussels and Ukrainian interests first.”

Technique

The political opponent is portrayed as representing foreign interests.

Goal

  • to frame the political conflict as patriotic vs. foreign interests
  • to delegitimize the opponent

Effect

The reader may feel that:

➡️ the opposition does not represent Hungarian interests.


4️⃣ Listing benefits (benefit listing)

Excerpt

“Tax benefits, home-creation subsidies, weapon bonuses, 13th and 14th month pensions.”

Technique

A list of social and financial benefits is presented.

Goal

  • to recall concrete advantages
  • to connect government policies with positive emotions

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ the government directly supports ordinary people.


5️⃣ Message repetition

The same ideas appear several times in the text:

  • “does not leave families alone”
  • “we stand with the Hungarian people”
  • “security and stability”

Technique

Repeating the same message multiple times.

Goal

To reinforce the message in the audience’s mind.


6️⃣ “Us vs. them” narrative (polarization framing)

The text divides politics into two blocks.

Us

  • Hungarians
  • the national government
  • stability

Them

  • Brussels
  • Ukraine
  • Tisza

Goal

To divide the political landscape into two opposing camps.


7️⃣ Electoral mobilization (mobilization framing)

Excerpt

“That is why Fidesz is the safe choice on April 12.”

Technique

The entire message ultimately pushes the reader toward a specific voting decision.

Goal

  • to gain political support
  • to mobilize voters.

Summary

The text is a classic campaign communication message that combines several techniques:

  • highlighting a positive economic indicator
  • building external and internal enemy narratives
  • emphasizing social benefits
  • repetition and emotional messaging
  • electoral mobilization

The goal is not to present the full economic situation, but to construct a simple political narrative:

➡️ stable government
➡️ external threats
➡️ opposition danger
➡️ therefore the “safe choice.”

Let’s meet on March 15 at the LARGEST Peace March! ❗️🇭🇺💪🏻

In recent weeks, unprecedented events have taken place. The President of Ukraine first attempted to blackmail Hungary and then openly threatened our country.

President Zelensky is demanding that Hungary join the financing of the war, approve Ukraine’s fast-tracked accession to the EU, and permanently give up cheap Russian energy.

These demands go against Hungary’s interests! We do not want to go to war, we do not want to spend Hungarian taxpayers’ money on Ukraine, and we do not want to pay higher utility and fuel prices.

Meanwhile, a war not seen for decades has also broken out in the Middle East, threatening all of Europe with an even more severe migration and energy crisis.

In such a situation, it is even more unacceptable that President Zelensky has shut down the Druzhba pipeline, which is crucial for Hungary, threatened the Hungarian Prime Minister with a Ukrainian military action, and declared that he wants to see a pro-Ukrainian government in power in our country.

All of this is an unprecedented attack against Hungary’s sovereignty! Hungary cannot be blackmailed or intimidated! We reject the Ukrainian demands, we will defend Hungary’s interests, and we will break the Ukrainian oil blockade.

For us, Hungary’s peace comes first!

Let us stand together for Hungary at the Peace March on March 15! 🇭🇺💪🏻

103-year-old Aunt Klári is likely one of — if not the oldest — participants in the anti-war gatherings. Yesterday in Debrecen I had the chance to exchange a few words with her and thank her for joining us.

She belongs to a generation — sadly fewer and fewer remain among us — who lived through the Second World War, communism, 1956, the socialist era, and who after all this also experienced the free world.

She is part of a generation that knows what war truly means.
Let us not turn our own generation into one that has to learn this the same way.

1️⃣ Presentation of a Credible Witness (testimonial framing)

Excerpt

TISZA and Kyiv are playing the same tune, working together against Hungarian interests!

Péter Magyar and his Brussels representatives have voted at least six times to abolish the utility price reduction scheme. Most recently, Eszter Lakos pressed the button against cheap Russian energy.

Earlier, Gabriella Gerzsenyi also openly attacked the utility price reduction that protects Hungarian families.

All of this perfectly aligns with the Ukrainian political pressure that has led Zelenskyy to block our oil supply for more than a month.

Péter Magyar has remained silent about all of this. He is not willing to say a single word in defense of the Hungarian people, because he simply would not be able to say no to orders coming from Brussels and Kyiv.

For them it is just a “humbug,” but for us it is our fate and our future. In April, let us choose the safe option: Fidesz!

I have a simple question. If a country’s energy supply is under threat, whose side should a politician stand on? With Hungarian families, or against them?

Péter Magyar and his allies in Brussels have already voted at least six times against the utility price reduction. Meanwhile, Ukraine has shut down the pipeline, playing with the energy security of the entire region.

Yet in this situation, the Tisza Party does not defend Hungarians but instead votes against cheap Russian energy.

If Hungarian interests truly came first, they would condemn energy blackmail. Instead, they remain silent.

But the choice is simple: not Brussels, not Kyiv — Hungary.

That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

1️⃣ Linking an external and an internal enemy (dual enemy framing)

Excerpt

“TISZA and Kyiv are playing the same tune, working together against Hungarian interests.”

Technique

Two separate actors are merged into a single hostile bloc:

  • an external actor (Ukraine / Kyiv)
  • and an internal political opponent (TISZA / Péter Magyar)

Goal

  • to portray the political opponent as serving foreign interests
  • to transform a domestic political debate into a national defense issue.

Effect

Voters may come to feel that:

➡️ the opposition is not simply representing a different political view,
➡️ but is cooperating with external forces against Hungary.


2️⃣ Scapegoating and personalized enemy (scapegoating)

Excerpt

“Péter Magyar remains completely silent about all of this.”

Technique

A complex geopolitical and economic issue is reduced to a single individual.

Goal

  • to create an easily identifiable political enemy
  • to establish a simple narrative for voters.

Effect

In the listener’s mind, the perception may emerge that:

➡️ the problem is caused by a specific politician,
➡️ the conflict becomes a question of personal responsibility.


3️⃣ Economic fear framing

Excerpt

“Ukraine is blocking our oil supply.”

“it is playing with the energy security of the entire region.”

Technique

The political message is connected to a threat affecting everyday life, particularly energy prices and household utility costs.

Goal

  • to trigger a strong emotional reaction
  • to create a sense of insecurity among voters.

Effect

The audience may feel that:

➡️ the country’s energy supply is under direct threat,
➡️ therefore a strong and stable government is necessary.


4️⃣ Moral framing

Excerpt

“For them it is just ‘humbug’, for us it is our fate and our future.”

Technique

The political debate is reframed as a moral issue.

Goal

  • to portray one side as irresponsible or cynical
  • to present the speaker’s side as defenders of national interests.

Effect

Voters may perceive that:

➡️ one side protects Hungary’s future,
➡️ while the other does not take the threat seriously.


5️⃣ False dilemma

Excerpt

“The choice is simple. Not Brussels, not Kyiv, but Hungary.”

Technique

A complex political situation is reduced to two mutually exclusive choices.

Goal

  • to simplify a complicated geopolitical issue
  • to frame the election as a patriotic decision.

Effect

Voters may feel that:

➡️ anyone who does not support the government is serving foreign interests.


6️⃣ Rhetorical question as persuasion

Excerpt

“If a country’s energy supply is threatened, whose side should a politician stand on?”

Technique

A question is asked that implicitly suggests only one ‘correct’ answer.

Goal

  • to actively involve the audience in the argument
  • to make them feel they reached the conclusion themselves.

Effect

The audience may feel that:

➡️ the political choice is obvious and self-evident.


Summary

The text follows a classic campaign communication structure:

  1. Identifying enemies – TISZA + Ukraine + Brussels
  2. Building a threat narrative – energy supply at risk
  3. Moral framing – “us vs. them”
  4. Offering a simple choice – Fidesz as the “safe option”.

Core narrative

👉 national defense against both external and internal enemies.

Who will repay the loans sent to Ukraine?

Brussels has already sent 193 billion dollars to Ukraine. In addition, another 90 billion has already been approved, and a 1.5 trillion-dollar war loan is also on the table.

In return, they expect the abolition of utility price caps or even the elimination of the 13th and 14th month pensions. That is why Hungarians must not elect a pro-Ukrainian Tisza government or Péter Magyar, but instead a government that is able to say no to pro-Ukrainian demands.

Let us not allow the future of our children and grandchildren to be sent to Ukraine. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

Who will repay that 90 billion euros? It is 90 billion now. But there is already an 800-billion-dollar Ukrainian welfare program on the table, as well as a 700-billion-dollar armament program. All of this is financed by loans. Who will pay it back?

Our children and grandchildren will.

So the elderly are right to worry. If we allow Hungary to be drawn into the war, to support Ukraine, and to give away our money, then the country will become poorer in the future. No matter how hard the older generation worked, and no matter that they want to leave their children a chance and an opportunity, the country’s growing debt will ruin the lives of our children and grandchildren.

That is the truth.

This is why their concerns are justified: the next government must not be pro-Ukrainian, and the prime minister must not be pro-Ukraine. Otherwise, the future of our children and grandchildren will be handed over to Ukraine in the form of money.

This must be prevented.

1️⃣ Economic Fear Framing

Excerpt

“Who will repay the loans sent to Ukraine? … Our children and our grandchildren.”

Technique

The political message is linked to the image of future generations being burdened with debt.

Objective

  • to trigger a strong emotional reaction
  • to create a sense of financial threat among voters

Effect

The listener may feel that:

➡️ supporting the war is a personal financial risk
➡️ their own family’s future is in danger


2️⃣ Intergenerational Burden Framing

Excerpt

“They will give the future of our children and grandchildren away to the Ukrainians in money.”

Technique

Political decisions are connected to the fate of future generations.

Objective

  • to give moral weight to the political decision
  • to place the voter in the role of a “responsible parent”

Effect

➡️ the election appears as a moral duty
➡️ anyone supporting the other side is seen as “endangering children’s future”


3️⃣ External Enemy Framing

Excerpt

“pro-Ukrainian orders”
“Brussels has already sent … to Ukraine”

Technique

Two external actors are linked together:

  • Brussels
  • Ukraine

Objective

To frame the conflict as a matter of national sovereignty.

Effect

➡️ Hungary appears to be under external pressure
➡️ the government appears as a defender of the nation


4️⃣ Internal Enemy Framing

Excerpt

“a pro-Ukrainian Tisza government”
“the pro-Ukrainian Péter Magyar”

Technique

The political opponent is portrayed as representing foreign interests.

Objective

  • to delegitimize the opponent
  • to turn the election into a question of national loyalty

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ this is not a normal political debate
➡️ but rather “the national side vs. foreign interests”


5️⃣ Numerical Amplification

Excerpt

“193 billion dollars… 90 billion… 1500 billion…”

Technique

A sequence of very large numbers is listed one after another.

Objective

  • to dramatize the perceived scale of the costs
  • to create a shock effect for the audience

Effect

➡️ the voter feels that the costs are unimaginably large

(regardless of what the numbers actually represent)


6️⃣ “Only Safe Choice” Framing

Excerpt

“That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.”

Technique

Political competition is narrowed down to a single safe option.

Objective

  • to create the image of stability
  • to appeal to uncertain voters

Effect

➡️ the government represents security
➡️ the opposition represents risk


Summary

The speech is built around three core narrative layers:

1️⃣ Economic fear – “the country will be pushed into debt”
2️⃣ External threat – “Brussels and Ukraine are putting pressure on Hungary”
3️⃣ Internal betrayal narrative – “the opposition serves those interests”

This follows a classic campaign structure:

threat → assigning responsibility → offering a single solution.

Hungary does not want the violent world of Zelensky and Péter Magyar! We will show at the Peace March and on April 12 that the majority stands on the side of peace and common sense.

Hi Dad! Five weeks left. How is the campaign going? How are you holding up? Things are going well here in North Pest. More and more young people are joining, even though it has been a brutal week. Zelensky issued a life-threatening threat against the Hungarian Prime Minister, and through him against Hungary. Then there is this story about the Ukrainian money transport. Who knows where it came from, where it went, where the money would have gone, and whom they would support with it.

And then yesterday, one of Eszter Vitályos’s volunteers was shot at in Szentendre. Here on Women’s Day, Tisza supporters shouted that “the old bags should already die,” referring to Fidesz volunteers.

So day after day we are confronted with the violent world of Zelensky and Péter Magyar. Hungary — and North Pest — does not want any part of it.

1️⃣ Building an External Enemy Image (external enemy framing)

Excerpt

“Hungary does not want the violent world of Zelensky and Péter Magyar.”

Technique

Two actors are merged into a single “hostile world” image:

  • external actor (Ukraine / Zelensky)
  • internal political opponent (Péter Magyar)

Goal

  • to turn the political conflict into a national defense issue
  • to portray the opponent as a representative of foreign interests

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ Hungary is threatened by external forces
➡️ the domestic opposition is cooperating with them


2️⃣ Threat Narrative (threat amplification)

Excerpt

“Zelensky made life-threatening threats against the Hungarian Prime Minister.”

Technique

The conflict is framed as a life-threatening danger.

Goal

  • to elevate the political dispute into a security issue
  • to trigger a strong emotional reaction

Effect

The audience may feel that:

➡️ Hungary is in direct danger
➡️ therefore strong leadership is necessary


3️⃣ Suggestive Accusation (insinuation)

Excerpt

“Who knows where the money would have come from, where it would have gone…”

Technique

Suggests the possibility of corruption or hidden influence without concrete evidence.

Goal

  • to raise suspicion
  • to imply that the opponent may be linked to foreign funding

Effect

The audience may develop:

➡️ a feeling that “something is not right”
➡️ distrust toward the opponent


4️⃣ “Violent World” Narrative (moral contrast)

Excerpt

“the violent world of Zelensky and Péter Magyar”

Technique

Creates a moral contrast:

  • they → violence
  • we → peace

Goal

  • to create a simple moral choice
  • to frame the political decision as a moral issue

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ one side represents peace
➡️ the other side represents conflict


5️⃣ Victimhood Narrative (victimhood framing)

Excerpt

“a volunteer was shot at”
“the old bags should already die”

Technique

Portrays the speaker’s political community as victims of attacks.

Goal

  • to generate solidarity
  • to portray the opponent as radical or aggressive

Effect

The audience may feel:

➡️ sympathy toward the speaker’s side
➡️ outrage toward the opponent


6️⃣ “Us vs Them” Identity Politics (ingroup–outgroup framing)

Excerpt

“Hungary and North Pest want no part of this.”

Technique

The speech divides society into two camps:

  • us → Hungary, peace, common sense
  • them → violence, foreign influence

Goal

  • to strengthen group identity
  • to mobilize voters politically

Effect

The voter may feel that:

➡️ the political choice is about belonging to a community


📊 Structure of the Overall Narrative

The communication logic of the speech:

  1. External threat (Ukraine / Zelensky)
  2. Internal enemy (Péter Magyar)
  3. Violent incidents (shooting, insults)
  4. Moral choice (peace vs violence)
  5. Mobilization (Peace March, election)

This is a classic campaign mobilization narrative.

I send a message to Péter Magyar: on Women’s Day, a single flower and a campaign photo are not enough. What matters is how a man speaks to women, how he treats his wife, his mother, and his colleagues even when there are no cameras around.

The leader of the Tisza Party belongs to those two-faced people who sing praises of women’s rights during the day, and in the evening humiliate or keep in fear those who are closest to them. Let it be clear: women are not decorations, not props for a political career. We women are everywhere — in public life, in offices, we work, run households, raise children, and yes, we see through hypocrisy.

Someone who abused his wife, blackmailed her, who spoke in a humiliating way to his former girlfriend, who again and again turned to his female colleagues in a condescending manner, has not a drop of credibility when he talks about respecting women and congratulates them on Women’s Day.

A flower may be picked only when its beauty is given sincerely and with love to another person. Péter Magyar’s Women’s Day flowers are only about himself, and that is why it was a waste to pick them.

So on Women’s Day, hypocrites should not hand out flowers — they should examine their own conscience.

1️⃣ Moral delegitimization (moral framing)

Excerpt

“Anyone who abused his wife… has not a drop of credibility.”

Technique

The political opponent is portrayed as a morally discredited person, rather than being criticized based on political positions.

Goal

  • to undermine the opponent’s moral character
  • to turn the political debate into a moral judgment

Effect

The audience develops the impression that
➡️ the opponent is “morally unfit.”


2️⃣ Hypocrisy narrative (hypocrisy framing)

Excerpt

“During the day they sing praises of women’s rights, and in the evening they humiliate…”

Technique

The opponent is depicted as a two-faced hypocrite.

Goal

  • to discredit the opponent’s public persona
  • to create a break of trust among voters

Effect

➡️ the politician’s words appear insincere and dishonest.


3️⃣ Mobilizing female identity (identity politics)

Excerpt

“We women are everywhere.”

Technique

The speaker constructs a collective female identity.

Goal

  • to emotionally mobilize female voters
  • to frame the conflict as women vs. a hypocritical man

Effect

➡️ female voters identify more easily with the speaker.


4️⃣ Personal attack (character attack / ad hominem)

Excerpt

“spoke in a humiliating way… acted condescendingly…”

Technique

An attack based on the opponent’s alleged past personal behavior.

Goal

  • to turn the political debate into a personal conflict
  • to damage the opponent’s character

Effect

➡️ the audience reacts emotionally rather than rationally.


5️⃣ Symbolic metaphor (symbolic framing)

Excerpt

“A flower should only be picked if its beauty is given sincerely…”

Technique

The flower functions as a symbol of respect and sincerity.

Goal

  • to portray the Women’s Day gesture as a hypocritical political performance

Effect

➡️ the campaign photo gains a negative symbolic meaning.


💡 Overall picture

The text is not about political programs, but serves three main communication goals:

  1. Morally discrediting Péter Magyar
  2. Emotionally mobilizing female voters
  3. Reframing the Women’s Day gesture into a negative narrative

This is a typical negative character campaign, where the conflict is framed as:

➡️ “a hypocritical man vs. respect for women.”
