👉 Living in Hungary today is much safer than in Western Europe, as there is no wave of migrants here, no terrorism, and we can live in peace.

The contrast was experienced firsthand by Szilvia’s children, who studied abroad—one in Amsterdam and two in Manchester. The latter two both witnessed terrorist attacks.

🟠 As long as there is a national government, Hungary will not become a country of migrants, and we can live in safety.
That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!


They were there during two terrorist attacks. Okay. I have three children as examples in my own family—they also went abroad to study, which was good, but we let them go with the understanding that they would come home, and there was never any question about it—they all came back.

They saw what it was like—two studied in Manchester, one in Amsterdam—and they came home very quickly. In Manchester, two of them were there during two terrorist attacks. Early in the morning, the phone rang: “Mom, I’m okay.” I think it was after an Ariana Grande Manchester Arena bombing concert, if I remember correctly, and they called from there saying they were safe. At that point, I didn’t even know what had happened yet, because it was early morning.

So they really saw what it’s like there—and that it’s not as ideal as it might seem from the outside.

1️⃣ Personal story = illusion of credibility

👉 Excerpt:
“my three children… Manchester… Amsterdam… they were there during the attack”

👉 Technique:

  • builds on personal experience
  • “I saw it → therefore it’s true”

👉 Goal:
➡️ don’t question it
➡️ create emotional identification

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if it happened to them, then it must be general”


2️⃣ Rare event → presented as general reality

👉 Excerpt:
experience of a terror attack → “that’s what it’s like there”

👉 Technique:

  • generalizes a unique, extreme event
  • ignores proportions and context

👉 Reality:

  • terrorist attacks are very rare events
  • they do not describe everyday life in a city or country

👉 Effect:
➡️ distorted worldview (“the West = dangerous”)


3️⃣ Fear framing

👉 Core elements:
child + danger + mother’s fear

👉 Technique:

  • targets parental instincts
  • “your child is not safe”

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger a visceral emotional reaction
➡️ suppress rational thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ “better stay here, because it’s dangerous there”


4️⃣ Contrast narrative (abroad vs. Hungary)

👉 Implicit message:

  • “there = chaos”
  • “here = safety”

👉 Technique:

  • black-and-white framing
  • no nuance

👉 Goal:
➡️ reinforce political preference

👉 Effect:
➡️ simplified decision-making (“here good – there bad”)


5️⃣ “They came home quickly” = implicit proof

👉 Excerpt:
“they came home very quickly”

👉 Technique:

  • presents a decision as cause-and-effect
  • lacks real evidence

👉 Question:

  • did they really come home because of safety?
  • or for other reasons?

👉 Effect:
➡️ reinforces the narrative (“even they fled”)


⚖️ Legally, what is this?

It’s important to separate things:

👉 This is not a crime in itself.

  • opinion + personal story
  • part of political communication
  • even if it is distorted or manipulative

👉 It could become a legal issue if:

  • a provable false claim causes harm, or
  • it involves incitement or hate speech

👉 This text is rather:
➡️ a manipulative narrative, not a legal category


🧠 Why does this work on people?

Because it combines very powerful elements:

👉 child
👉 fear
👉 personal story
👉 external threat

Together this:
➡️ shuts down critical thinking


⚠️ The key point

Your anger is understandable, but:

  • messages like this cannot be addressed with force
  • instead, they should be handled with:
    • analysis
    • context
    • showing real proportions

💡 In short

👉 This is not a “description of reality,” but:

  • an emotional story
  • with political intent
  • based on distorted generalization

👉 The key is:

  • don’t react to the emotional trigger
  • recognize the technique behind it

Listen to your heart, watch your wallet, vote for Fidesz!

If Tisza were to come to power, they would implement their energy plan, cut us off from cheap Russian gas, and we would see triple utility prices and fuel costing 1,000 forints per liter.

But if it’s up to us, utility price cuts will remain, fuel will stay at protected prices, family support will continue, and everything else we have built over the past 16 years will be preserved. That’s why Fidesz is the only safe choice!

We’re out here in the countryside, in the fresh air. This is the smell of victory. What would you say to those who are still undecided about whether to go vote?

On the one hand, this is something we can only do once every four years—directly influence public affairs—so I think we should take advantage of it.

On the other hand, my message to everyone is to listen to your mind and your heart, and to pay attention to your wallet—and vote accordingly for Fidesz. Because if it’s up to us, low utility costs will remain, fuel will stay cheap, family support will continue, and the 13th and 14th month pensions will remain.

But if Tisza wants to give our money to Ukraine, then none of this will remain. So let’s not trust them—we’ve seen this before 2010, and we shouldn’t fall for it again.

Let’s vote for Fidesz, because that is the safe choice.

1️⃣ Repetition = “implanting” (core propaganda technique)

👉 Key phrases:
“1000 HUF fuel”, “triple utility costs”

👉 Technique:

  • the same numbers are repeated over and over
  • no evidence, no explanation
  • just repetition

👉 Goal:
➡️ to embed it in your mind as a “fact”

👉 Effect:
➡️ after a while:
“I don’t know where it came from, but it must be true”

📌 This is the classic:
illusory truth effect (repetition = perceived truth)


2️⃣ Simple, shocking numbers

👉 “1000 HUF fuel”
👉 “3x utilities”

👉 Technique:

  • concrete, easy-to-imagine numbers
  • deliberately extreme

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate emotional reaction (shock)

👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop thinking → you decide emotionally


3️⃣ Financial fear appeal (strongest trigger)

👉 “pay attention to your wallet”

👉 Technique:

  • focuses on your personal finances
  • everyone feels affected

👉 Goal:
➡️ make politics personal

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this affects me → I feel fear → I react”


4️⃣ False causality (very important!)

👉 “if Tisza → no Russian gas → everything becomes expensive”

👉 Technique:

  • oversimplified chain
  • ignores all intermediate factors

👉 Reality:
➡️ energy prices = global markets + EU + contracts + many variables

👉 Effect:
➡️ simplifies the world into:
“them = expensive / us = cheap”


5️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “only Fidesz is the safe choice”

👉 Technique:

  • no alternatives
  • no nuance

👉 Goal:
➡️ narrow your thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️
“if not them → trouble”


6️⃣ Mixing emotion + rationality (trick)

👉 “listen to your heart” + “watch your wallet”

👉 Technique:

  • combines emotion with apparent logic

👉 Goal:
➡️ make it feel like a rational decision

👉 In reality:
➡️ it packages an emotional decision as rational


7️⃣ “We built everything” (appropriation)

👉 “what we have built over the past 16 years”

👉 Technique:

  • claims all positive outcomes as their own

👉 Effect:
➡️ “without them, there is nothing”


8️⃣ Enemy framing + distrust

👉 “don’t trust them”
👉 “they would give our money to Ukraine”

👉 Technique:

  • connects internal and external enemies

👉 Effect:
➡️ fear + anger + rejection


9️⃣ Nostalgia + fear combined

👉 “we’ve seen this before 2010”

👉 Technique:

  • negative image of the past
  • projected future threat

👉 Effect:
➡️
“let’s not go back there”


🧠 Answer to your key question:

👉 “Are the followers really that irrational that it has to be repeated this many times?”

No.

👉 Instead:

  • this is how the human brain works
  • repetition works on everyone, not just “others”

📌 This is not about stupidity, but about:

  • cognitive biases
  • attention economy
  • simple messages vs complex reality

⚠️ Why repeat it over and over?

  • Most people don’t follow politics daily
  • A message only “sticks” after multiple exposures
  • There is competition for attention (scroll → noise → short memory)
  • The simplest message wins

👉 That’s why:
they say the same thing 100 times, not once


🧩 The whole strategy in one line:

👉 Formula:

repetition + fear + money + simplification
→ “if you don’t vote for us → you’ll be worse off”


🔚 Bottom line

This is not about:
👉 “people being stupid”

It’s about:
👉 the most effective method of mass persuasion

People living in Buda know exactly that everything which seems natural today – the numerous benefits, tax reductions for young people, families and mothers, the 13th and even 14th month pension, reduced utility costs, continuous developments, full employment, and the strict migration policy that guarantees security – are all thanks solely to the Orbán governments.

It is important to understand what is at stake: if the country does not have a national government, these measures would disappear in an instant. This would hurt everyone – even supporters of TISZA. Let’s not allow our security to be put at risk!

In the next 9 days, let’s talk to everyone and remind them of the achievements that we must preserve!

On April 12, only Fidesz is the safe choice, and in Hegyvidék and West Újbuda, Attila Steiner is the right choice!

Good day! You know, make sure you’re well provided for by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. We are waiting for you for the elections on July 12. Of course. We really need all the support, we count on every bit of it. There’s no need to convince us. We receive benefits, we get various tax reductions. Pensioners receive the 13th and 14th month pension. Utility cost reductions – there’s a lot that could be listed.

They don’t even think about it. Because if we want our sons and sons-in-law to be taken away as soldiers, and to receive no support at all, then we should just go the other way. Thank you very much! Thank you!

1️⃣ “We gave you everything good” (total appropriation)

👉 “everything is thanks to the Orbán governments”

Technique: 100% appropriation of achievements
Reality: the economy, EU funds, global processes → completely omitted

Effect:
➡️ “without them, nothing exists”


2️⃣ Fear: “everything will disappear”

👉 “they would disappear in an instant”

Technique: catastrophe narrative

Goal:
➡️ don’t think, just fear

Effect:
➡️ “if you don’t vote for them → things will get worse for you”


3️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “if it’s not a national government → everything is lost”

Technique: no middle ground

Reality: political systems don’t work like this

Effect:
➡️ narrows thinking


4️⃣ “Even the opposition would suffer”

👉 “even TISZA supporters”

Technique: psychological pressure

Message:
➡️ “everyone wants the same thing → don’t stand out”

Effect:
➡️ conformity


5️⃣ Safety + war (implicitly)

👉 “security”, “they will take your sons to the army”

Technique: existential fear

Link: politics → war → family in danger

Effect:
➡️ strongest emotional trigger


6️⃣ Mass mobilization

👉 “let’s talk to everyone”, “9 days”

Technique: campaign activation

Goal:
➡️ don’t just vote → spread the message


7️⃣ Direct “reward” narrative

👉 “they receive benefits, tax cuts”

Technique: dependency framing

Message:
➡️ “we give → therefore you must vote for us”


🔍 Why is it so irritating?

Because it:

  • underestimates your intelligence (over-simplifies everything)
  • relies on fear instead of facts
  • manipulates instead of informing
  • uses emotional pressure (family, security, money)

This combination is one of the strongest → that’s why it triggers a “disgust” reaction.


🧾 Short summary

👉 This is not an informational text
👉 This is a classic propaganda formula:

benefits + fear + simplification + “we protect you”
→ “vote for us or things will go badly”

If I had to list the things I consider important in raising a child, one would definitely be sports. Sport is not just physical activity. It is education, development, and a safe way to experience both success and failure, as well as a sense of belonging to a community. This is how I spent my own childhood, and I experienced all of this myself.

Panni trains three times a week, just like tens of thousands of children who have been doing sports since a very young age.

What today costs a few thousand or tens of thousands of forints per month could easily rise to hundreds of thousands if the current sports support system were abolished.

Everyone understands what that would mean, right? A large portion of children who are currently active in sports would lose the opportunity to experience everything that sport can offer.

Amid major issues, we may pay less attention to these things, even though they are very important. On April 12, we will also be deciding on the future of sports.

Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Quick Overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “sport = value, development, community”
  • “this is under threat”
  • “only we can protect it”
  • “election = your child’s future”

👉 Underlying formula:

emotion + child + fear + simplification
→ “if you don’t vote for us → your child loses”


🔍 Persuasion techniques

1️⃣ Emotional anchor (child + sport)

👉 Excerpt:
“child upbringing”, “sport”, “development”, “community”

👉 Technique:
builds on positive, hard-to-challenge values
(child + sport = automatic acceptance)

👉 Goal:
➡️ emotional engagement
➡️ reduce critical thinking

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this cannot be argued against”


2️⃣ Personal story (illusion of credibility)

👉 Excerpt:
“I grew up like this too”
“Panni trains three times a week”

👉 Technique:
individual example → presented as general truth

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of closeness
➡️ build trust

👉 Effect:
➡️ “they experienced it → they must be right”


3️⃣ Fear framing (future loss)

👉 Excerpt:
“hundreds of thousands”
“they will lose the opportunity”

👉 Technique:
seemingly concrete but unsupported claims
future negative consequences

👉 Goal:
➡️ create anxiety
➡️ create urgency

👉 Effect:
➡️ “if I don’t act → something bad will happen”


4️⃣ False causality

👉 Claim:
“ending sports subsidies → drastic price increases”

👉 Problem:
no explanation
no alternatives
no evidence

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify a complex system
➡️ tie everything to a single decision

👉 Effect:
➡️ “it all depends on one vote”


5️⃣ Implicit electoral pressure

👉 Excerpt:
“on April 12, we also decide the future of sport”

👉 Technique:
moral pressure

👉 Goal:
➡️ voting = responsible parenting
➡️ not voting this way = irresponsibility

👉 Effect:
➡️ guilt / pressure


6️⃣ “Safe choice” framing

👉 Excerpt:
“The safe choice is Fidesz!”

👉 Technique:
safety vs. risk

👉 Goal:
➡️ reduce uncertainty
➡️ offer a simple decision path

👉 Effect:
➡️ “better not take risks”


🎯 Overall picture

This text is not really about sport.

👉 It’s a classic emotional manipulation package:

  • using children (strongest trigger)
  • positive values (sport, community)
  • introducing a threat
  • ending with a political “solution”

💥 In short

👉 “If you don’t vote for us → your child’s opportunity to do sports will be harmed”

That’s the real message.

❗ The situation is clear—not only here at home, but also in Brussels and Kyiv. Everyone knows that two completely different worlds are facing each other.

One side would do anything on Brussels’ orders: they would take away the support provided by the national government, burden Hungarians with extra costs, and drag Hungary into war.

🇭🇺 We, on the other hand, stand for the interests, peace, and security of the Hungarian people, in opposition to the will of Brussels. And since they have not been able to break us over the past years—neither through pressure nor blackmail—they are now turning to new tools.

They are doing everything they can to interfere in the Hungarian elections. What we have seen in recent weeks is all about that.

🟠 The stakes are simple: either we preserve our right to decide our own future, or we allow others to dictate how we should live.

Because if they couldn’t defeat us over the past 16 years—if no amount of pressure or scheming could bring us down—then their master plan is simply to remove us. If necessary, by interfering in Hungarian elections.

Everything you have seen in recent weeks and months has been about one thing: foreign actors trying to influence your decision. They want to take away your right to decide what kind of country you want to live in.

When Volodymyr Zelenskyy shuts off the Druzhba oil pipeline and places Hungary under an oil blockade—not for technical reasons, but as a political decision—it is, in my view, clearly about influencing Hungarian elections.

And when reports emerge about gold and large cash convoys crossing Hungary, and a former Ukrainian intelligence officer claims that this is Zelenskyy’s “black money,” from which billions allegedly reach Péter Magyar and his allies every week—then again, this narrative is about foreign interference in Hungary’s elections.

🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “two worlds are facing each other”
  • “we = peace, security, Hungarian interests”
  • “they = Brussels, Kyiv, foreigners, puppet government, war”
  • “election = not a normal political contest, but a sovereignty struggle”

👉 Underlying formula:

external enemy + internal traitor + fear + conspiracy + national self-defense
→ “if you don’t vote for us, the country will be taken away”


🔍 What is actually happening here?

1️⃣ False dichotomy / “two worlds” narrative

👉 Excerpt:
“two completely different worlds are facing each other”

👉 Technique:

It divides reality into two mutually exclusive camps.
No transition, no nuance, no legitimate debate.

👉 Goal:

  • simplify political reality
  • turn voting into a moral choice
  • exclude middle-ground positions

👉 Effect:

The audience feels they are not choosing a political preference, but choosing between “good and evil.”


2️⃣ “Us vs. them” identity construction

👉 Excerpt:
“We stand for the interests, peace, and security of Hungarians”

👉 Technique:

The speaker automatically identifies their own side with the nation.
Anyone opposing them is indirectly against Hungarian interests.

👉 Goal:

  • own side = the nation
  • opponent = foreign interest
  • create loyalty pressure

👉 Effect:

The political opponent appears not just as an opponent, but as anti-national.


3️⃣ Enemy fusion

👉 Excerpt:
“they know this in Brussels and Kyiv…”
“Zelensky…”
“they want to interfere from abroad…”

👉 Technique:

Different actors are merged into one coordinated bloc: Brussels, Kyiv, Ukrainian intelligence, opposition, Péter Magyar.

👉 Goal:

  • create a unified, threatening enemy
  • suggest everything is part of one plan
  • frame the opponent as part of a foreign network

👉 Effect:

The audience no longer evaluates claims separately, but sees a single conspiracy narrative.


4️⃣ Fear framing with war narrative

👉 Excerpt:
“they would drag Hungary into war”

👉 Technique:

The political opponent is linked not just to bad decisions, but to existential danger.

👉 Goal:

  • trigger anxiety
  • turn the election into a survival issue
  • push people into defensive thinking instead of rational evaluation

👉 Effect:

Voters may feel that changing the government would directly threaten national security.


5️⃣ Sovereignty panic

👉 Excerpt:
“they want to take away your right”
“others will decide how you live”

👉 Technique:

The political debate is turned into a dramatic loss of national self-determination.

👉 Goal:

  • emotionally inflate the stakes
  • suggest losing the election = losing control over the country

👉 Effect:

The voter feels they are defending their own freedom, not choosing between parties.


6️⃣ Victim framing

👉 Excerpt:
“they couldn’t break us”
“they couldn’t defeat us”
“they want to remove us”

👉 Technique:

Those in power present themselves as persecuted, attacked, besieged.

👉 Goal:

  • evoke sympathy
  • justify defensive or aggressive rhetoric
  • hide the actual power position

👉 Effect:

The audience may forget that this is not a vulnerable group, but a governing force.


7️⃣ Repetition as imprinting

👉 Excerpt:
repeated: “they want to interfere in Hungarian elections”

👉 Technique:

The same claim is repeated in different forms to simulate proof.

👉 Goal:

  • imprint the core message
  • create credibility through familiarity
  • reduce critical distance

👉 Effect:

Repeated claims feel more true, even without evidence.


8️⃣ Unproven claims presented as facts

👉 Excerpt:
“it is clear to everyone”
“that is Zelensky’s black money”
“billions weekly for Péter Magyar”

👉 Technique:

Serious accusations are presented as established facts without verifiable evidence.

👉 Goal:

  • bypass the need for proof
  • create credibility through confident tone
  • turn rumors into perceived facts

👉 Effect:

The audience stops asking “is this true?” and starts thinking “there must be something to it.”


9️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“gold and cash convoys”
“former Ukrainian intelligence”
“black money”

👉 Technique:

Uses secret money flows, intelligence services, hidden foreign interference.

👉 Goal:

  • create a cinematic, dramatic narrative
  • portray the opponent as part of a hidden network
  • suggest everything is controlled from the background

👉 Effect:

Extreme claims become easier to believe within an established conspiracy frame.


🔟 Scapegoating

👉 Excerpt:
Brussels, Kyiv, Zelensky, Péter Magyar

👉 Technique:

Complex geopolitical and economic issues are reduced to the malicious intent of a few actors.

👉 Goal:

  • provide simple explanations for complex realities
  • direct anger toward specific targets
  • mobilize emotions

👉 Effect:

The message does not create understanding, but targets for blame.


1️⃣1️⃣ “Authority” without real source

👉 Excerpt:
“a former Ukrainian intelligence officer said…”

👉 Technique:

Refers to vague, unverifiable sources while implying insider credibility.

👉 Goal:

  • create the illusion of evidence
  • maintain the “I’m not saying it, an insider is” effect

👉 Effect:

Unverifiable sources may feel more credible due to the illusion of secret knowledge.


1️⃣2️⃣ Emotional closure

👉 Excerpt:
“the stakes are simple…”
“we preserve our right…”

👉 Technique:

After building fear, the message closes with a reassuring, mobilizing conclusion: only one correct choice exists.

👉 Goal:

  • convert fear into votes
  • shut down further thinking
  • point to a single political direction

👉 Effect:

The audience is first alarmed, then given a “solution.”


🧨 The most severe manipulations in this text

1. Extreme claims presented as facts

Such as foreign financial interference and “billions weekly” claims.

2. Blending the opponent with foreign powers

The opponent is framed not just as political, but as serving external interests.

3. Reframing the election as a national survival battle

This makes all counterarguments morally suspect.

4. Linking fear with sovereignty

The message implies: if you don’t vote for them, you lose peace, security, and self-determination.


🧾 Summary

This speech is not meant to inform, but to emotionally condition.

Its main tools:

  • false dichotomy
  • external enemy framing
  • internal traitor narrative
  • war-based fear
  • conspiracy framing
  • unproven accusations
  • repetition
  • national self-defense framing

👉 Core message:

“don’t evaluate, don’t question, don’t analyze — fear, identify, and fall in line.”

An extra ten stays in your pocket!

At Easter, many of us set off to visit our families and relatives we haven’t seen in a long time, and many also attend gatherings with friends. Some people may even drive up to a thousand kilometers over the four days of the holiday, so it really matters how much we pay for fuel.

Fuel prices have skyrocketed across Europe due to the wars, and Hungary is also affected by the Ukrainian oil blockade. Yet we won’t have to pay huge amounts during our Easter travels, because thanks to the government, we can refuel at protected prices—the cheapest in Europe. Right now, we pay 595 forints per liter of petrol, but without the protected price and cheap Russian energy, fuel prices could rise to as much as 1,000 forints per liter.

If TISZA were in government this Easter, we would have to dig much deeper into our pockets, as their energy plan would cut Hungary off from cheap Russian crude oil. And this is just one holiday weekend—just imagine that over the course of a month, an average Hungarian family would pay 48,000 forints more per month on fuel alone.

But we will not allow Hungarians to be made to pay for the war, nor will we allow foreign oil companies to profit at the expense of Hungarian families! We stand for low fuel prices. Next Sunday, Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Quick Overview

👉 Main narrative:

“Fidesz = cheap fuel + protection”
“opposition (TISZA) = expensive life”
“external factors (war, Ukraine) = danger”
“election = your wallet’s fate”

👉 Underlying formula:

fear + concrete numbers + simplification + enemy construction
→ “if you don’t vote for us → you will be worse off financially”


🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Financial fear framing

👉 Excerpt:
“it could rise to 1000 HUF”
“would pay 48,000 HUF more per month”

👉 Technique:

  • large, seemingly precise numbers
  • presented as a future “threat”
  • no calculation, no source

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate anxiety (“this would be extremely expensive”)
➡️ emotional decision-making

👉 Reality:
➡️ this is a hypothetical, unproven figure
➡️ no explanation of how the “1000 HUF” is derived


2️⃣ False causality

👉 Excerpt:
“if there is no Russian oil → no utility price reduction → expensive fuel”

👉 Technique:

  • complex global market reduced to a single cause
  • ignores multiple factors (taxes, exchange rate, global prices)

👉 Goal:
➡️ simple, easy-to-understand scapegoat
➡️ discourage systemic thinking


3️⃣ Enemy construction

👉 Excerpt:

  • “Ukrainian oil blockade”
  • “foreign oil companies are profiteering”
  • “TISZA would cut Hungary off”

👉 Technique:

  • external enemy (Ukraine, “foreign actors”)
  • internal enemy (opposition)

👉 Goal:
➡️ “us vs. them” mindset
➡️ strengthen political loyalty


4️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Message:

  • either Fidesz → cheap fuel
  • or opposition → drastic price increase

👉 Technique:

  • no middle ground
  • black-and-white framing

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify the choice
➡️ steer undecided voters


5️⃣ Protector framing

👉 Excerpt:
“we will not allow…”
“we stand up for Hungarian families”

👉 Technique:

  • government = protector
  • citizens = in need of protection

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of safety
➡️ build dependency


⚠️ Critical points (what to notice)

❗ 1000 HUF/liter claim → not substantiated
❗ 48,000 HUF/month increase → no calculation shown
❗ completely ignores:

  • global oil prices
  • exchange rate (HUF)
  • tax policy

➡️ Without these, the claim is not verifiable → propaganda claim


🧩 Overall picture

This is a classic campaign message that:

  • does not inform → it directs
  • does not explain → it creates fear
  • does not prove → it asserts

👉 The goal is not to help you understand fuel prices,
but to make you fear change and stick with the current choice.

❌ Let’s not allow them to rob us!

With the introduction of the Tisza energy plan, every Hungarian family would have to dig deep into their pockets. By cutting off Russian energy, utility bills would increase 2.5 times, and with the removal of price caps, fuel costs would rise by 48,600 forints per month. Altogether, this would mean an extra one million forints per year for an average household under Tisza’s energy plan.

🟠 The national government is capable of preserving reduced utility costs and regulated prices. Let’s not take risks! On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice!

What would this Tisza-style energy plan look like? Well, it would look something like this: if there is no Russian energy, then there is no utility cost reduction. You don’t have to look far for examples—just take a look at the Czech Republic or Poland. There, annual utility costs for a family are around 800,000 to 900,000 forints, even up to 1 million. In Hungary, the average annual household utility cost is around 250,000 forints.

So anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to vote for Tisza should start putting money into an envelope right now as I’m speaking. Go ahead and put about 700–750 thousand forints into that envelope.

Then let’s go a bit further and see what happens if there is no Russian crude oil and market prices must be paid for petrol and diesel. Right now, you would only have to pay a little more—but if we completely cut it off, just look at Western countries. Fuel prices there can reach 1,000 forints per liter. So let’s calmly calculate with a price of 1,000 forints per liter.

🧠 Quick Overview

👉 Main narrative:

“TISZA = brutal financial loss”
“without Russian energy = collapse”
“Fidesz = protection + affordable living”
“election = survival of your wallet”

👉 Underlying formula:
specific numbers + fear + simplification + repetition
→ “if you don’t vote for them → you will suffer financially”


🔍 Manipulation Techniques

1️⃣ Financial fearmongering (fear framing)

👉 Excerpt:

“2.5x utility costs”
“+48,600 HUF/month”
“+1 million HUF/year”
“put 700–750 thousand HUF in an envelope”

👉 Technique:

  • large, seemingly precise numbers
  • directly targets household finances
  • “imagine it right now” (envelope example)

👉 Goal:
➡️ immediate anxiety
➡️ “I can’t risk this”

👉 Reality:
❗ no calculations shown
❗ no model or source provided


2️⃣ False causality

👉 Claim:
“no Russian energy → no price caps”

👉 Technique:

  • links two complex issues into a simple cause-effect
  • excludes all other factors (market, diversification, policy)

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify reality
➡️ create a single scapegoat

👉 Reality:
❗ energy prices depend on multiple factors (market, contracts, policy)
❗ not a binary system

“Czech Republic, Poland: 800,000 – 1,000,000 HUF yearly utilities”

👉 Technique:

  • selectively chosen foreign examples
  • no context:
    • incomes
    • subsidies
    • consumption
    • energy mix

👉 Goal:
➡️ “look, it’s bad elsewhere → it will be bad here too”

👉 Reality:
❗ comparing apples to oranges
❗ no consistent benchmark


4️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Message:

  • either Russian energy + cheap living
  • or no Russian energy + high costs

👉 Technique:

  • presents two extreme options
  • eliminates all middle-ground solutions

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify the decision
➡️ “there is only one safe choice”


5️⃣ Catastrophizing (extreme future scenario)

👉 Excerpt:
“1,000 HUF fuel prices”

👉 Technique:

  • extreme, shocking projection
  • no timeframe, no conditions

👉 Goal:
➡️ shock + fear
➡️ “this is too much”

👉 Reality:
❗ speculative
❗ unsupported


6️⃣ Repetition and stacking

👉 Multiple numbers listed:

48,600 HUF
31,000 HUF
16,000 HUF
1,000,000 HUF

👉 Technique:

  • stacking numbers on top of each other
  • cognitive overload → reduces critical thinking

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of massive loss
➡️ push emotional decision-making


7️⃣ Protector framing

👉 Excerpt:
“the national government will preserve it”

👉 Technique:

  • government = protector
  • opposition = threat

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a sense of safety
➡️ build loyalty


⚠️ Overall Picture

This text is not trying to inform, but to:

👉 create fear (financial loss)
👉 present a simple narrative (Russian energy = solution)
👉 push a political choice


🎯 In short

👉 This is a textbook economic fear campaign, where:

  • numbers = illusion of credibility
  • examples = cherry-picked
  • causality = oversimplified
  • future = exaggerated

➡️ end result:
“if you don’t vote for them → you will be worse off financially”

Szabolcs Panyi colluded with Péter Magyar and three foreign intelligence services.

Another outrageous audio recording has been made public about the “journalist” agent who also wiretapped Péter Szijjártó!

The bomb has exploded again: Szabolcs Panyi also coordinated with Péter Magyar regarding foreign interference! The Soros-linked journalist no longer even denies how he is scheming. The self-proclaimed journalist agent is not working with just one, but specifically three foreign intelligence services in order to bring a pro-Ukraine government to power in Hungary.

Szabolcs Panyi is not only working together with Anita Orbán, TISZA’s globalist foreign minister candidate, but also held extensive discussions with Péter Magyar about how materials obtained from intelligence services could be used in the final phase of the campaign.

It is now clearly visible what we have been hearing for weeks and months: TISZA has been completely infiltrated by Ukrainian and other foreign intelligence services. No matter how Péter Magyar denies it, his own associate has exposed him. Just imagine—if such a person came to power, how could he possibly say no to the world of agents and spies, or to orders from Brussels and Kyiv…

If TISZA were to form a government, nothing would stand in the way of financing the war or continuing it, and we could also say goodbye to cheap utility costs.

Without cheap energy, they would immediately abolish the protected fuel price—which ensures some of the lowest fuel prices in Europe—as well as the utility price cuts, causing every Hungarian family to lose up to 1 million forints per year.

We cannot allow a pro-Ukraine government to replace a national one! We will not let Hungarian people be stripped of their money, and we stand for low utility costs—this is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!


🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main narrative:

  • “journalist = intelligence agent”
  • Magyar Péter = under foreign influence
  • “TISZA = national security risk”
  • “election = sovereignty vs. foreign control”

👉 Underlying formula:

conspiracy + character assassination + fear + financial threat + political closure
→ “be afraid → become distrustful → vote for ‘protection’”


🔍 What is actually happening here?

1️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 Excerpt:
“colluded with three foreign intelligence services”

👉 Technique:

  • specific number (3) → illusion of credibility
  • but:
    • no evidence
    • no services named

👉 Goal:
➡️ “this is not politics → this is a national security threat”

👉 Reality:
➡️ not a proven claim, but suggestion + dramatization


2️⃣ Reality inversion

👉 Key point:

Panyi Szabolcs
👉 exposed the Pegasus-ügy

👉 What the text does:
➡️ portrays him as an intelligence agent

👉 Technique:

“the one who exposed → becomes the culprit”

👉 Goal:

➡️ destroy credibility
➡️ “don’t trust those who revealed something”

👉 This is one of the strongest manipulations in the text.


3️⃣ Smear campaign (character assassination)

👉 Keywords:

  • “agent”
  • “Soros-linked”
  • “scheming”

👉 Technique:

  • labeling without evidence
  • moral discrediting

👉 Goal:

➡️ don’t think about the content
➡️ form a negative image of the person


4️⃣ Guilt by association

👉 Excerpt:

  • “with Magyar Péter”
  • “Anita Orbán”
  • “foreign services”

👉 Technique:

  • linking multiple actors
    → building the image of a “network”

👉 Goal:

➡️ “everyone is part of something”

👉 Effect:

➡️ paranoid system narrative (“they are infiltrated”)


5️⃣ Fake urgency (evidence-free “explosion”)

👉 Excerpt:

“new audio recording”, “the bomb has exploded”

👉 Technique:

  • sensational framing
  • but no:
    • source
    • content
    • verifiability

👉 Goal:

➡️ urgency + emotional shock
➡️ “no time to verify”


6️⃣ Enemy framing (external threat)

👉 Excerpt:

  • “Ukrainian”
  • “Brussels”
  • “foreign intelligence services”

👉 Technique:

  • external actors = unified threat

👉 Goal:

➡️ “not just opponents → enemies”


7️⃣ Fear escalation

👉 Excerpt:

  • “financing the war”
  • “continuing the war”

👉 Technique:

  • political choice → framed as life-or-death issue

👉 Goal:

➡️ existential fear


8️⃣ Financial fear framing

👉 Excerpt:

“1 million HUF annual loss”

👉 Technique:

  • concrete number → illusion of credibility
  • no calculation provided

👉 Goal:

➡️ “this hits your wallet”


9️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Excerpt:

“national vs. pro-Ukraine government”

👉 Technique:

  • reduces to two options
  • no middle ground

👉 Goal:

➡️ simplify decision-making


🔟 Political closure (call to action)

👉 Excerpt:

“only Fidesz is the safe choice”

👉 Technique:

  • fear → solution

👉 Classic formula:

➡️ “problem → panic → savior”


⚠️ The key contradiction

👉 Logic of the text:

  • “journalist = intelligence agent”
  • “he leaked materials”

👉 But:

the Pegasus-ügy revealed that
➡️ journalists were targets of surveillance

👉 So:

➡️ the same person is portrayed as both:

  • “surveilled”
  • and “surveilling”

👉 This is a logical contradiction, but it works emotionally.


🧩 Summary

This text:

  • does not provide evidence
  • it builds a narrative

👉 main tools:

  • conspiracy
  • character assassination
  • fear
  • financial threat
  • “us vs. them”

👉 strongest trick:

➡️ reversing the roles of real actors

Politico reported that there is strong confidence within the EU in the victory of Péter Magyar, as they want a pro-Ukraine government in Hungary. It is not surprising that they are hoping for this, since Péter Magyar would not say no to any demands coming from Brussels or Kyiv.

However, I suggest they take a look at how many people attended each stop of Viktor Orbán’s nationwide tour! Hungarians do not want a pro-Ukraine government imposed on them—they want peace and freedom.

That is why Fidesz will win on April 12!


Hi Andra! Hello! Politico wrote that the European Union would like to see a pro-Ukraine government in Hungary and that they are hopeful about Péter Magyar. Well, I understand their optimism, because they can reasonably expect that if Péter Magyar came to power, he would be pro-Ukraine.

What I don’t understand, however, is their optimism if they look around and see how many people are attending Viktor Orbán’s nationwide tour. Based on that, I think Péter Magyar will have no chance on April 12.

👉 Main narrative:

  • “EU = external interference” (European Union)
  • “Magyar Péter = pro-Ukraine” (Magyar Péter)
  • “Fidesz = popular will + majority” (Fidesz)
  • “Election = national will vs. external forces”

👉 Hidden formula:
external enemy + assumption + crowd effect + emotional closure
→ “they want it → we don’t → therefore we will win”


🔍 What is actually happening here?

1️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“The EU wants a pro-Ukrainian government in Hungary”

👉 Technique:

  • a complex institution (European Union) is presented as a single, intentional actor
  • “they want” → implies coordinated, deliberate interference

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a “us vs. them” framework
➡️ evoke a sense of external threat


2️⃣ Speculation presented as fact

👉 Excerpt:
“Magyar Péter would not say no to any demand from Brussels or Kyiv”

👉 Technique:

  • no evidence → yet stated as certainty
  • future behavior treated as a fact

👉 Actor:
Magyar Péter

👉 Goal:
➡️ build distrust
➡️ weaken credibility


3️⃣ Crowd = truth (bandwagon / majority illusion)

👉 Excerpt:
“Look at how many people attended Viktor Orbán’s tour”

👉 Technique:

  • attendance = support = election outcome (implicitly)
  • visual mass → legitimacy

👉 Actor:
Orbán Viktor

👉 Goal:
➡️ create the feeling that “everyone wants this”
➡️ reduce uncertainty among supporters


4️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Excerpt:
“pro-Ukrainian government vs. peace and freedom”

👉 Technique:

  • reduces reality to two options
  • excludes all middle ground

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify the decision
➡️ push emotional, not rational choice


5️⃣ Inevitability framing

👉 Excerpt:
“That’s why Fidesz will win on April 12”

👉 Technique:

  • future stated as a fact
  • no “if,” no conditions

👉 Goal:
➡️ mobilization (“join the winner”)
➡️ demoralize the opposition


⚠️ What matters

This text does not prove, it:

  • assumes
  • simplifies
  • triggers emotional reactions

And your first reaction (“we’re lying… I’d beat them”) shows exactly how it works:
👉 it provokes → generates anger → forces a reaction


🔧 How to handle it effectively

Don’t react emotionally—respond like this instead:

👉 Short, controlled counter-messages:

  • “This is a claim, not evidence.”
  • “Where is the proof that anyone ‘would not say no’?”
  • “Crowds are not the same as election results.”

👉 Or stronger, but still clean:

“This is a classic ‘external enemy + fear + crowd’ narrative.”

It is shocking to see the level of hostility already driving the left. Together with Csilla Fazekas, we have heard several such stories; most recently, a man told us that even while commuting, he overheard passengers saying, “Why hasn’t Viktor Orbán been shot yet?”

It is unacceptable that public discourse has sunk to this level, and the hateful rhetoric of Péter Magyar has also set an example for this.

Let us remain calm and not be intimidated by this outrage. We stand with Viktor Orbán, a stable and composed leader who is capable of saying no to any foreign interference in order to protect Hungarian interests. Fidesz is the only safe choice!

I was on my way home on the suburban railway (HÉV), and I heard two women—just ordinary people—talking about why Viktor Orbán hasn’t been shot yet. I heard it with my own ears. So this isn’t some kind of conspiracy theory. I was truly shocked hearing this from our own side. That’s not what I ever wanted to say. That they should shoot Péter Magyar, or… Yes, yes. I would never say anything like that, no matter what kind of opposition content I watch.

👉 Main narrative:

  • “opposition = hatred, violence”
  • “public discourse = has reached a dangerous level”
  • “Fidesz = calm, stability, protection”
  • “election = order vs. chaos”

👉 Hidden formula:

anecdote + shock + generalization + scapegoating + reassuring closure
→ “fear → then choose safety”


🔍 What is actually happening here?

1️⃣ Anecdotal “evidence” (anecdotal evidence)

👉 Excerpt:
“two women on the HÉV were talking about why Orbán Viktor hasn’t been shot yet”

👉 Technique:

  • a single story = presented as a general phenomenon
  • no evidence, no context
  • “I heard it with my own ears” → illusion of credibility

👉 Goal:

➡️ make it seem like this is a widespread attitude
➡️ personal experience → stronger than data

👉 Reality:

➡️ an isolated case (if it’s even true)
➡️ says nothing about society as a whole


2️⃣ Shock framing (violent imagery)

👉 Excerpt:
“why hasn’t Orbán Viktor been shot”

👉 Technique:

  • extreme, taboo-breaking statement
  • triggers immediate emotional reaction (shock, fear)

👉 Goal:

➡️ disrupt rational thinking
➡️ push the audience into an emotional state

👉 Effect:

➡️ you don’t analyze → you react


3️⃣ Overgeneralization

👉 Excerpt:
“this is the kind of anger driving the left”

👉 Technique:

  • 2 people → entire “left”
  • whole political side lumped together

👉 Goal:

➡️ create a sense of collective guilt
➡️ “they are all like this”

👉 Reality:

➡️ logical leap
➡️ no representativeness


4️⃣ Scapegoating

👉 Excerpt:
“Magyar Péter’s hateful tone also set the example for this”

👉 Technique:

  • naming a specific person as the cause
  • indirectly assigning responsibility for an extreme statement

👉 Goal:

➡️ simple cause-effect: “this is because of him”
➡️ demonize a political opponent

👉 Reality:

➡️ no proven connection
➡️ narrative linkage


5️⃣ Moral panic

👉 Excerpt:
“it is unacceptable that public discourse has sunk to this level”

👉 Technique:

  • framing social decline
  • “we are in danger” atmosphere

👉 Goal:

➡️ increase tension
➡️ create urgency (“something must be done”)


6️⃣ Protector framing

👉 Excerpt:
“Orbán Viktor is a stable, calm leader…”

👉 Technique:

  • contrast: chaos vs. order
  • leader = protection

👉 Goal:

➡️ create emotional sense of safety
➡️ “he will protect us”


7️⃣ False dilemma

👉 Hidden message:

  • either Fidesz → safety
  • or opposition → hatred + violence

👉 Technique:

  • no middle ground
  • simplified choice

👉 Goal:

➡️ force a decision
➡️ reduce uncertainty


⚙️ The full mechanism

  1. Shock (violent statement)
  2. Personal story (illusion of credibility)
  3. Expansion (→ “the left is like this”)
  4. Enemy assignment (Magyar Péter)
  5. Fear building (public discourse is collapsing)
  6. Offering a solution (Orbán = stability)

👉 This is a classic:

“problem → fear → solution = vote for us” model


🧩 In short

This text:

  • does not prove
  • does not analyze
  • but manufactures an emotional state

👉 goal:
➡️ fear + outrage + desire for safety

👉 end result:
➡️ strengthening political loyalty
