Category: szentkiralyi alexandra : Words vs. Facts

🚨 “There is no war, there is no war, there is no war” – no matter how much Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz from Tisza keeps repeating this, all we have to do is look around the world to see what a huge lie it is. Brussels leaders are making statement after statement about sending troops to Ukraine and preparing for war by 2030. It sounds insane, but this is reality.

The Tisza politicians are already disregarding Hungarian interests and repeating the same lines as their bosses in Brussels and Kyiv: that weapons and as much money as possible should be sent to Ukraine, and that we should get involved in the war.

👉 All of this is supported by Péter Magyar and his allies while Ukraine is continuously blackmailing us — with threatening remarks and by refusing to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline. So whose side are they really on?

“There is no war, there is no war, there is no war, there is no war — don’t you get it? Who are you, Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz? This stupid war topic always comes up. There’s no need to fear war. There is no war, there is no war, there is no war.”

Well, in our view, one only needs to look around the world to see the unfortunate fact that there is a war. Ukraine wants more. Some European countries have indicated that, if requested, they are ready to contribute even with troops. And it is also an unfortunate fact that the forces we are fighting against here in Hungary represent the position that Ukraine should be given weapons and money. But first and foremost, there is the €90 billion European Union loan. And they would even involve Hungary in the war.

It is particularly outrageous given that the Ukrainians no longer frame their demands as requests for support or for EU accession, but as outright blackmail — since they are unwilling to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline. Today they received a firm response from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He called on them to change their anti-Hungarian policy. More respect for Hungary!

As long as there is a national government, we will protect Hungary’s energy supply and stay out of the war.

🟠 That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!

❌ It’s not the same whether you have a gold toilet or gold reserves!

Hungary’s gold reserves have increased from 3 tons in 2010 to 110 tons today.
That represents a 9,500% increase in value, especially considering that the price of gold has tripled in just the past three years.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Europeans’ money is being spent on gold toilets. So who is really investing their money wisely?

In addition, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves are also at a record high, now exceeding €40 billion. We are living in an age of dangers, and in times like these, a strong national reserve is especially important.

We cannot risk having a left-wing government in Hungary, because as they did before, they would once again sell off the country.

🟠 On April 12, let’s send a clear message that we will not allow this! Fidesz is the safe choice!

Here’s an interesting fact about Hungarian gold: the country’s gold reserves have risen from 3 tons in 2010 to 110 tons today. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, European taxpayers’ money is being used to make gold toilets. So who is actually investing wisely?

Incredibly, the price of gold has tripled over the past three years. That means both the quantity and the value have increased — together resulting in a 9,500% growth in wealth. Do you now understand where the funding for family support programs comes from?

Furthermore, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves are at a peak, exceeding €40 billion. Why is this important? Because in an era of risks and instability, a secure national reserve is crucial.

The former left-wing central bank governor sold off 60 tons of gold, and during the near-bankruptcy situation in 2008, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves were less than half of what they are today. That person is György Surányi, who is now an advisor to Péter Magyar.

It would cause unforeseeable damage to the country if the left returned to power, because even in times of major crises they sold off the nation’s assets — and they would do so again with our gold and foreign currency reserves.

📊 Context on gold reserves

• Hungary’s gold reserves have indeed increased significantly in recent years.
• Foreign currency reserves exceeding €40 billion are also higher than during the 2008 crisis.
• The global gold price has risen substantially in recent years, increasing the book value of reserves.

Important distinction:
Gold reserves are not budget revenue; they are central bank assets serving stability and confidence functions.

🔎 Overall picture

This communication combines multiple layers:

✔️ Economic success narrative
✔️ External negative example (Ukraine)
✔️ Recall of past crisis
✔️ Responsibility tied to a named individual
✔️ Security vs. risk framing
✔️ Electoral mobilization

A technical policy issue (central bank reserve management) is transformed into an emotional–moral–identity-based campaign message.

❗ Outrageous Tisza lies: Andrea Bujdos denied that Zelensky’s government is refusing to restart the Druzhba oil pipeline.

It’s understandable that this is uncomfortable for Tisza, since they support the very Ukraine and Brussels that are now blackmailing Hungary on a daily basis to force us into financing the war.

🚨 Ukraine is preparing further actions to obstruct the functioning of Hungary’s energy system. They want to create chaos and an energy crisis in order to help the Tisza Party gain power — which, in return, would let Ukraine into the European Union and finance the war with Hungarian taxpayers’ money. But we will not allow interference in Hungary’s elections!

Hungary has made it clear that it will block all European decisions favorable to Ukraine until Kyiv restores oil deliveries.

🟠 We will protect Hungary’s energy supply and peace! Fidesz is the safe choice.

Two Tisza representatives are sitting right across from us today in the chamber. Did they speak about the Druzhba pipeline or not? Well, Andrea Bujdos spoke up in the hall, claiming it is a lie that Zelensky’s government is not restarting the Druzhba oil pipeline. This is the most embarrassing kind of Tisza whitewashing I have heard so far — denying a reality that everyone knows. But it’s understandable: it is very uncomfortable for them to stand on the side of that Ukraine and that Brussels which are now pressuring Hungary in every possible way to force us into financing the war.

csak a jelenlegi kormány képes megvédeni az országot.

🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy

In the text, Zelenskyy’s name functions symbolically:
not as reference to a specific decision, but as the embodiment of an entire wartime political agenda.

---

🎯 Overall Picture – What Is Happening Communicatively?

The text simultaneously uses:

✔️ Lie-accusation framing
✔️ Energy-based fear appeals
✔️ Foreign interference narrative

This is a classic “besieged fortress” narrative:

Hungary is being blackmailed from the outside →
the opposition is complicit →
only the current government can defend the country.

Does Shell pay well? Does war pay well?

I asked Tisza politicians Andrea Bujdosó and István Kapitány how much they earned from the war through the appreciation of Shell shares over the past four years.

As mothers, our real responsibility is to ensure that our children grow up in a safe country. That is why we have been fighting for years to make sure Hungary does not drift into war and that we do not have to pay the price of other people’s wars.

Let’s say it openly: in Munich, Tisza entered into a pro-war pact, pledging to fulfill all of Brussels’ demands if they come to power.

We will not send Hungarian taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, and we will do everything in our power to preserve peace in Hungary. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

How much did you earn during the war from the increase in the value of your Shell shares? Exactly how much did you personally earn from the war over the past four years, Madam Parliamentary Group Leader? How much did István Kapitány earn during these war years? Tens of millions of forints, right, Madam MP? You personally earned tens of millions from the war.

And then to speak about responsibility as a woman and as a mother — you are a mother as well. I believe that our responsibility as women, as mothers, is to ensure that our children — and indeed every Hungarian child — grow up in a safe country. A country that does not drift into war. A country that does not pay the price of others’ wars. A country that stands up for Hungarian interests and does not bow to demands from Brussels or Kyiv.

You are selling out this country. That is what you are doing. You are Judas’s best disciples.

In Munich, you made a pro-war pact whose essence is this: Brussels supports you in exchange for your compliance if you come to power here — whether it concerns Ukraine’s fast-tracked EU membership, the arming of Ukraine, or sending Hungarian taxpayers’ money to Ukraine. That is what your so-called Munich pact is about. That is why you met with those war-supporting leaders who have repeatedly spoken out in favor of continuing the war in recent months.

1️⃣ Profit Framing – “Who profited from the war?”

📌 Technique:

• Repeated, specific financial accusations (“tens of millions of forints”).

🎯 Goal:
To elevate the political debate to a moral level: not a policy disagreement, but “war profiteering.”

This is classic profit-from-war framing.

---

💥 Effect:
Increased polarization and emotional identification with the “defenders.”

---

5️⃣ War = Energy Prices = Family Threat

📌 Technique:

• Linking support for Ukraine to Hungarian energy prices.
• The formula: “We are paying the price of others’ war.”
• Activating economic fear.

🎯 Goal:
To transform a geopolitical issue into a direct household-level threat.

💥 Effect:

---

🔎 Overall Picture

The text simultaneously employs:

• Moral framing (motherhood, children, betrayal),
• Economic fear (war profits, energy prices),
• External interference narrative (Brussels, pact),
• Personal stigmatization (profiteering accusations).

As a result, the debate moves entirely away from concrete policy details and becomes identity- and loyalty-based:

“Who protects our children?”
vs.
“Who sells out the country?”

Ukraine is preparing for another act of sabotage; the Defense Council has convened.

Based on national security information, President Zelensky is planning further actions against Hungary’s energy supply, and we cannot leave this without response.

Military personnel and the necessary equipment to repel potential attacks will be deployed near key energy facilities, and the police will increase their presence in the affected areas.

A drone flight ban has been ordered in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County to ensure our security.

We know this is yet another form of blackmail from the Ukrainians, intended to help the left-wing forces, as they want a change of government in Hungary.

The pro-war elite already has its candidate: they would install Péter Magyar in power, someone who would be unable to say no to Brussels’ orders or to the liquefied natural gas lobby.

Their people from Shell and Erste are here as well, whose puppet government would nod along just like a dog in a shop window.

Hungary, however, cannot be blackmailed. The national government will not yield to war-time dictates.

Let us fill out the national petition and send a joint message to Ursula and Weber:

WE SAY NO to further financing of the Russian–Ukrainian war!
WE SAY NO to making us pay for the functioning of the Ukrainian state for the next 10 years!
WE SAY NO to raising utility prices because of the war!

This morning, under the leadership of Viktor Orbán, the Defense Council convened because national security information reached the government indicating that Ukraine is preparing further attacks or acts of sabotage related to Hungary’s energy supply.

Therefore, the Defense Council and the government decided that critical infrastructure will receive heightened protection. Soldiers will be deployed, along with various defensive tools, and police patrols will be intensified. A drone flight ban has also been imposed in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County.

It is very sad and alarming that such measures are necessary to protect Hungary’s energy security, but we can see the forces we are facing from the direction of Ukraine and Brussels — and they all support the Tisza Party.

They believe that what is bad for the Hungarian people is good for the Tisza Party, good for Ukraine, and good for Brussels.

We, however, will not allow this.

Physical Aggression Instead of Arguments!

I called Tamás Bocskai, who caught a poster vandal in the act early this morning. Tamás did nothing more than confront the person and ask: why are you damaging Fidesz posters?

The response did not come in the form of arguments, but in brutal physical violence — punches and kicks.

Is this Magyar Péter’s “country of love”? A place where if someone disagrees — or merely questions a violation of the law — they are beaten and kicked on the ground?

With the emergence of the Tisza Party, politics built on hatred has appeared on the streets as well. Not long ago, Tisza supporters threatened me with a fatal shot to the back of the head — and now they are physically attacking Fidesz supporters in the streets.

As the saying goes: “A fish rots from the head.” Let us not allow this kind of aggression to gain ground in our everyday lives.

Magyar Péter should rein in his people, because Hungarian public life deserves far better.

Share this so that everyone can see the Tisza supporters’ so-called “country of love,” and let us condemn this unacceptable violence together.

On April 12, the sober majority of Hungarians will also express their opinion about Tisza-style aggression. Fidesz is the only safe choice.

---

The person who was attacked was confronted by a Tisza activist after pointing out that perhaps election posters should not be vandalized. If I understand correctly, the consequence was that the person who spoke up ended up on the ground. He was beaten, punched…

“Why are you filming? Why are you filming? Did you hit me? Did you hit me? Ah! He hit me! He hit me! He hit me!”

Let’s find out exactly what happened. Tamás Bocskai is the one involved in this story, so let’s call him and hear directly how he is doing.

“Hi, this is Alexandra Szentkirályi. Is this a good time?”

“For a minute, yes, of course.”

“We heard — or rather saw — what happened to you last night?”

“It was early this morning.”

“And how are you?”

“I’m okay, but it hurts. He hit my nose.”

“He knocked my coat to the ground first, grabbed my hood, and punched me.”

“You’re not serious. Because in the video I couldn’t see exactly what happened.”

“He hit me twice with his right hand. In his left hand he had a box cutter. That was a very risky factor, so I started stepping backward — you can see that in the video. I didn’t know which one he intended to use. Then I stumbled over a fence, he stepped in, punched me twice in the nose, and when I fell to the ground, he yanked my coat and hit me again while I was down.”

“My God. Is it visible on your face?”

“Yes, on my nose. But I hope there won’t be any permanent injury. There isn’t any lasting damage.”

“That’s unbelievable. Did you expect such a reaction?”

“No. When he turned around, I could already see in his face that he had completely snapped. By then it was too late.”

“And after beating you, he just left?”

“Yes, he left.”

“You filed a report?”

“Yes, at the District 6 police station.”

“Let’s hope there will be consequences.”

“He even took off his hood, so he can probably be identified. He also had a small dog, so he likely lives nearby.”

“I hope this terrible incident hasn’t taken away your determination to speak up next time.”

“No. I stand firm. We cannot be intimidated.”

“That’s the right attitude. This disgusting climate of fear must not win on April 12. This is not the country we want.”

“Thank you. Stay strong.”

“Thank you, goodbye.”

---

📌 Overall Picture

The text does not primarily focus on fact-finding about the incident. Instead, it:

• Transforms a specific violent event into moral and political proof.
• Elevates individual aggression into a systemic party identity.
• Generates fear and moral outrage.
• Converts that outrage into electoral mobilization.

This is a typical campaign frame:
“Street violence = political character evidence.”

🚨 TISZA representatives keep getting exposed as serving Brussels and pro-war directives instead of Hungarian interests.
Péter Magyar’s people shape their positions with Ukrainian demands in mind in every decision they make. While Ukraine has been blocking crude oil deliveries to Hungary for weeks, the Left remains silent—they cannot say a word because their superiors have instructed them so. They say nothing about a foreign country openly blackmailing Hungary, interfering in elections, and endangering affordable Hungarian utility costs — that is the Brussels path.

🟠 As long as a national government remains in office, we will stay on the Hungarian path and stand up for low utility prices — which is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

The Tisza parliamentary group leader’s connection to reality seems rather shaky if she tries to deny what is happening. I understand why she does it — because it is clearly extremely uncomfortable for them that in Hungary they are regularly exposed for not representing the interests of the Hungarian people and not standing on the Hungarian side, but instead taking Ukrainian and Brussels considerations into account. And in many respects, those two coincide.

I find it very sad that when such a serious attack hits Hungary and the Hungarian people — something we have not seen in decades — namely that Ukrainians use direct political blackmail and threats in order to achieve their political goals, to weaken the Hungarian government and to help install a government in Hungary that would serve Ukrainian interests — and to reach that goal they blackmail us by threatening to shut off or not restart crude oil deliveries — they do not object to this in the name of the Hungarian people. They do not work to restore crude oil deliveries in a secure way. Instead, they effectively stand by this position, keep quiet, Péter Magyar remains silent when asked about it, and even yesterday in the European Parliament they were silent — they did not press the button, they did not raise their voices when Hungarian interests were being harmed.

I also find it very sad that in this situation, Mayor Gergely Karácsony lights up the Chain Bridge in blue and yellow Ukrainian colors. I believe this says everything about who stands on the Hungarian side and who stands with Brussels and Ukraine.

The audience does not weigh professional or policy arguments but makes an identity-based decision.
This is classic loyalty framing + enemy alignment.

---

2️⃣ Dramatization of external threat – “unprecedented in decades”

📌 Technique:

• Historical-scale dramatization (“unprecedented in decades”)
• Use of loaded terms: “political blackmail,” “threat,” “weakening”
• Framing energy security as an existential issue

🎯 Goal:
To create a sense of security crisis.
The issue is elevated from an economic matter to a national security dimension.

💥 Effect:
Heightened emotional response (fear + anger), which reduces rational evaluation.
This is typical security threat amplification.

---

3️⃣ Silence as evidence – “they didn’t speak up, they didn’t press the button”

📌 Technique:

• Emphasizing the alleged passivity of the opponent
• Using parliamentary “silence” as moral proof

🎯 Goal:
To frame silence as guilt.

💥 Effect:
The audience may feel that anyone who does not openly confront the threat must agree with it.
This is silence = complicity framing.

---

4️⃣ Symbolic politicization – the Chain Bridge lit in blue and yellow

📌 Technique:

• Interpreting a symbolic gesture (Ukrainian colors) as proof of political loyalty
• Bringing a cultural symbol (the Chain Bridge) into the conflict

🎯 Goal:
To intensify identity and symbolic warfare.

💥 Effect:
The debate shifts to the level of symbols.
Anyone expressing support for Ukraine is automatically framed as “not on Hungary’s side.”

---

5️⃣ Utility costs as an emotional anchor

📌 Technique:

• Repeated emphasis on “cheap Hungarian utility bills”
• Energy policy equated with everyday livelihood

🎯 Goal:
To tie a geopolitical debate to household expenses.

💥 Effect:
The audience perceives the conflict as a personal economic threat.
This is pocketbook framing.

---

🧩 Overall Picture

The text builds several layered narratives:

• National loyalty vs. foreign subservience
• Energy supply as a tool of blackmail
• Silence framed as betrayal
• Symbolic gestures treated as political proof
• Utility costs = existential security

This is a classic “besieged nation” framework, where the government is portrayed as the defender and the opposition as an extension of external interests.

Hatred poured like a tidal wave — no one was left without a response!

Over the past six years, left-wing politicians have actively contributed to pushing Budapest into a near-bankrupt financial situation — bonuses for friends, cover-ups, and everything except allocating resources to what actually mattered.

I would send a message to Richárd Barabás: perhaps instead of “Humanists,” your party should be called “Humorists.” Because leaving a 0-percent party only to found another 0-percent party — and then not even run in the elections with it — well, that truly requires a sense of humor.

The Tisza supporters lie again and again. Most recently, they claimed to have collected 250,000 signatures, while official data clearly showed they had gathered only 110,000. An unbelievably embarrassing exposure.

Only Fidesz is capable of winning on April 12 as a stable and level-headed party, and of preserving peace in Hungary. Fidesz is the safe choice.

To the representative from Keszthely, I would say this: over the past six years, you were also active participants in bringing the capital into the financial situation it is in today. Raskovics, Tibor, Gály, Zoltán — the list of names could go on — people who cost Budapest residents nearly one billion forints in bonuses and various payouts. The reality is that you, from the left, actively contributed to the capital municipality ending up in the financial condition it remains in to this day. After six years in a governing coalition, raising this issue now is downright shameless.

As for Representative Borabás, I would only add that perhaps it should have been considered to run under the name “Humorists” instead of “Humanists,” as even the Two-Tailed Dog Party suggested. To leave a zero-percent party in order to launch another zero-percent party that then does not even run in the elections — I think one truly needs a certain sense of humor to understand what exactly happened there.

Madam faction leader Bújdosó: had you not started by boasting about how successful your signature collection was, I might have been elegant enough not to bring this up. But since you did: let me remind you that over the weekend you made a blatant false claim when you spoke of collecting 250,000 signatures. It is extremely awkward and uncomfortable that in reality you only managed to collect 110,000 recommendation slips — a number that could be officially requested and verified. It was a spectacularly embarrassing exposure. Over the weekend, we collected nearly twice as many signatures as you did.

The truth is, if you had not brought up that figure yourself, we would not be discussing it now. You could have quietly kept it to yourself.

1️⃣ Enemy Image + Emotional Escalation – “Tsunami of Hate”

📌 Technique:

• Strong metaphor (“tsunami of hate”)
• Claiming moral superiority (“no one was left unanswered”)
• Adopting a victim position

🎯 Goal:
To shift the debate from a professional/policy domain into a moral one:
“We respond to hate — they spread hate.”

💥 Effect:
The opponent is framed not as a political rival, but as a destructive, emotionally driven actor.

---

2️⃣ Financial Collapse Narrative – “Near-Bankrupt Budapest”

📌 Technique:

• Absolutist claim (“near-bankruptcy situation”)
• Corruption trope (“bonuses for friends”)
• Concrete but unverifiable name-dropping

🎯 Goal:
To frame the opposition as incompetent and fiscally irresponsible managers.

💥 Effect:
Voters do not evaluate budget details — they form a moral judgment:
“They squandered the money.”

---

3️⃣ Mockery and Ridicule – “Humorists Instead of Humanists”

📌 Technique:

• Name parody
• Ironic reframing
• Associating them with a joke-party image (reference to the Two-Tailed Dog Party)

🎯 Goal:
To portray the opponent as unserious.

💥 Effect:
The legitimacy of political competition is weakened:
“They are not even a real alternative.”

---

4️⃣ Percentage-Based Delegitimization – “0% Party”

📌 Technique:

• Reducing them to zero
• Suggesting political invisibility
• Exaggerating lack of electoral relevance

🎯 Goal:
To make the opponent appear insignificant.

💥 Effect:
Voters may gravitate toward the perceived winner (bandwagon effect).

---

5️⃣ Dramatizing the “Exposure” – 250,000 vs. 110,000 Signatures

📌 Technique:

• Contrasting specific numbers
• Moral labeling (“they blatantly lied”)
• Emphasizing the twofold difference

🎯 Goal:
To construct a credibility crisis.

💥 Effect:
The debate shifts from policy issues to accusations of dishonesty.

---

6️⃣ Stability Promise + Peace Framing

📌 Technique:

• Self-positioning as a “stable, calm party”
• “Fidesz is the safe choice”
• Introducing a peace frame

🎯 Goal:
To create a security vs. chaos dichotomy.

💥 Effect:
Voters decide on an emotional basis:
“Better choose stability.”

---

📌 Overall Picture – What Narrative Is Being Built?

The speech rests on three core pillars:

• An incompetent and unserious opposition
• A political rival caught lying
• A stable governing party that guarantees peace

This is a classic combination of negative campaigning + positive self-framing:

Opponent → chaos, dishonesty, financial irresponsibility
Own side → stability, composure, peace

❗️ In April, we will have to choose between two paths.

If we vote for the Brussels path, the Left would also place Hungary in the service of the war, since Péter Magyar and his allies simply cannot say no to orders from Brussels. We could say goodbye to low utility prices that protect Hungarian people, farewell to the 13th and 14th month pensions, and to family support as well — because that money would once again go to foreign energy companies and banks.

🟠 If we stay on the Hungarian path, we can remain out of this senseless war, protect the achievements we have made, and stand up for Hungarian interests. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

What matters most, however, is that people understand that on April 12 we are not simply choosing a government — we are fundamentally choosing our fate and our future. Overall, there are two paths before us. There is a Hungarian path — a sovereignist path — which stands for our continued ability to decide about our own lives and our own destiny. We must not give in to the pressure coming from Brussels and Ukraine. We must not allow a government to be imposed on us that would serve Brussels’ and Ukrainian interests.

Instead, we should continue along the Hungarian path — one that does not allow our money to be handed over to Ukraine, that does not let us be dragged into a very dangerous and frightening war, and that ensures the money that belongs to the Hungarian people is spent here in Hungary: on Hungarian family support, Hungarian utility price protection, and Hungarian pensions. And not handed over to another country where, for example, it might be used to build or buy golden toilets.

Thank you very much!

---

4️⃣ Dramatization of Welfare Loss

📌 Technique:

Listing concrete, popular benefits: “utility price caps,” “13th and 14th month pensions,” “family support”

Voters interpret the political decision through their own personal finances.

---

5️⃣ Moral Superiority Framing – “Hungarian Interest vs. Foreign Interests”

---

6️⃣ Symbolic Exaggeration – “Golden Toilet”

📌 Technique:
