The European Commission is “closely monitoring Hungarian opinion polls,” “Brussels has a lot at stake in the Hungarian elections,” and “not intervening in the Hungarian elections would be a strategically bad decision.” These and similar statements are being reported by the Brussels press. As the campaign approaches, foreign pressure on our country is increasing. As is customary for Brussels, it wants to intervene in this year’s elections as well—Bajnai Gordon has already arrived, and the pseudo-civil organizations also have their euros loaded and ready.

In vain—they never learn. They know very well that if Hungarians once again vote for a national government, Hungary will remain anti-war, anti-migration, and will continue to block Brussels’ imperial ambitions. That is why they are doing everything they can to bring to power pro-immigration forces that support Ukraine and Brussels—this year, the Tisza Party and the Democratic Coalition. Brussels’ candidate is Magyar Péter. They write this openly; they do not hide it. The Hungarian people’s candidate, however, is Orbán Viktor. The Hungarian path is ours; Fidesz is the safe choice!

More news has arrived from Brussels. Yes, I also just read what Daniel Freund said—arguing that it would indeed be right to intervene in the Hungarian elections and to use the full toolkit available to Brussels in order to continue the blackmail that the European Parliament has already been carrying out against Hungary through legal instruments.

We have seen clearly over the past years what this is about: they simply do not want to release the funds that are due to us until we bow to their migration policy or their gender policy, and more recently, the demand for war—entering the war—can also be placed in this same sequence. But I believe it has become clear to everyone over the past years that as long as Hungary’s prime minister is called Viktor Orbán, the interests of the Hungarian people will always come first, and this country will remain a safe country—one where we are physically secure and where our economic future is secure as well.

1️⃣ “Brussels is watching / interfering” – External threat framing

“The European Commission is closely monitoring… Brussels has a lot at stake…”

🔹 Technique: enemy construction + surveillance anxiety
🔹 Effect:

  • the election is framed as national survival, not domestic politics
  • criticism becomes foreign pressure
  • voters are pushed into a defensive emotional posture

👉 Issue:
No concrete evidence is provided for institutional election interference; “monitoring” and “intervening” are deliberately blurred together.


2️⃣ “Pseudo-civils, euros at the ready” – Delegitimization

🔹 Technique: demonizing civil society
🔹 Message:

  • NGOs are portrayed as fake
  • criticism is framed as paid political action

👉 Purpose:
To pre-emptively discredit all government-critical voices before they speak.


3️⃣ “If not us → war, migration, Brussels” – False dilemma

“If Hungarians once again elect a national government…”

🔹 Technique: binary worldview

  • Us = peace, security, national interest
  • Them = war, migration, subordination

👉 Missing:

  • nuance
  • policy debate
  • alternative scenarios

This is emotional blackmail, not rational comparison.


4️⃣ Naming external figures – Personalization

  • Bajnai Gordon
  • Daniel Freund

🔹 Technique:

  • foreign politicians personify “Brussels”
  • domestic opponents are framed as agents of outside forces

👉 Rhetorical trick:
Individual opinions are inflated into institutional intent.


5️⃣ EU funds = blackmail – Causal oversimplification

“They won’t give us the funds we are entitled to…”

🔹 Technique: reframing conditionality as punishment
🔹 Narrative:

  • conditions = coercion
  • rule-of-law debates = political revenge

👉 Omitted:

  • why the conditions exist
  • the specific concerns raised

6️⃣ “Orbán’s name is the guarantee” – Leader-centric stability

“As long as Hungary’s prime minister is called Orbán Viktor…”

🔹 Technique: leader = nation
🔹 Effect:

  • institutions fade into the background
  • stability is tied to one person

👉 This is not a program, but a creed.


7️⃣ “Brussels’ candidate vs. Hungarians’ candidate” – Loyalty test

  • “Brussels’ candidate: Magyar Péter”
  • “Hungarians’ candidate: Orbán Viktor”

🔹 Technique: labeling
🔹 Effect:

  • not Orbán = not national interest
  • criticism = foreign allegiance

👉 This fractures the political community into ‘us’ and ‘traitors’.


8️⃣ Party grouping – Collective guilt

  • Tisza Party
  • Democratic Coalition
  • Fidesz

🔹 Technique:
Different parties are collapsed into a single hostile bloc
🔹 Message: they all serve the same foreign agenda


🧠 Overall assessment – what’s really happening?

This text does not aim to inform. It aims to:

  • trigger fear,
  • enforce identity,
  • mobilize loyalty,
  • and pre-emptively delegitimize all criticism.

👉 The election is framed not as a competition of programs, but as:

loyalty vs. betrayal.

orbán propgandist szentkiráyi szandra

The President of the Republic has announced the date of the election: it will be held on April 12, when we can cast our votes for a secure future. Because this election will be about exactly that—whether we stay on a safe path, whether we stick to predictability, where we are not dragged into war, where we do not give in to migration pressure, and where we do not allow Brussels to dictate to us or send Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine.

We firmly stand up for Hungarian interests, while the Tisza Party would be directed from Brussels, and essentially everything Brussels wants to force down our throats would be pushed through Péter Magyar and his circle.

1️⃣ “A safe future” – an empty, unquestionable slogan

“We can cast our vote for a safe future.”

Technique: vague positive framing

  • no concrete definition,
  • no measurable criteria,
  • automatically places the speaker on moral high ground.

👉 Effect: anyone who disagrees is implicitly choosing an “unsafe” future.


2️⃣ False dilemma: “us or disaster”

“Do we stay on the safe path, or are we dragged into war?”

Technique: binary worldview

  • Government = peace, stability, predictability
  • Opposition = war, chaos, foreign control

👉 Problem: no middle ground, no policy debate, no nuance.


3️⃣ War fear without causal explanation

“We will not be dragged into war.”

Technique: threat without mechanism

  • no explanation how this would happen,
  • no concrete decisions or scenarios,
  • only emotional alarmism.

👉 This is fear signaling, not argumentation.


4️⃣ Migration scare tactics without evidence

“We will not give in to migration pressure.”

Technique: recycled fear anchor

  • no data,
  • no current context,
  • no comparative analysis.

👉 Migration functions here as permanent campaign noise, not a real policy issue.


5️⃣ “Brussels dictates” – the sovereignty myth

“We will not allow Brussels to dictate to us.”

Technique: external power demonization

  • EU portrayed as a foreign overlord,
  • Hungary framed as a victim.

👉 Omitted fact:
Hungary participates in EU decision-making and has approved many of these policies itself.


6️⃣ Financial fear framing: “They take Hungarians’ money”

“Sending Hungarians’ money to Ukraine.”

Technique: zero-sum framing

  • implies every euro spent equals direct loss for citizens,
  • no budget context, no proportionality.

👉 A deliberate oversimplification.


7️⃣ Scapegoating: the Tisza Party as a Brussels puppet

“The Tisza Party would be directed from Brussels.”

Technique: character assassination

  • no discussion of programs,
  • no rebuttal of arguments,
  • a loyalty accusation instead.

👉 Purpose: delegitimize, not persuade.


8️⃣ “Forcing it down our throats” – victim narrative

Technique: coercive metaphor

  • voters portrayed as passive victims,
  • government as the sole protector.

👉 Appeals to emotional identification, not critical thinking.


🧠 Overall Assessment

This speech does not present a future vision. Instead, it:

  • manages fear,
  • constructs enemies,
  • claims moral superiority,
  • avoids real issues such as:
    • inflation,
    • cost of living,
    • healthcare,
    • education,
    • housing.

📌 This is not governance communication – it is campaign propaganda.
📌 It focuses less on what the government does, and more on whom voters should fear.

szentkiralyi

The stakes of the election are clear: for more than 15 years, Fidesz has proven that it is capable of protecting Hungarian families, our borders, peace, and a work-based society—even in times of crisis.

Opposing this stands a left-wing party directed from Brussels, which, while serving foreign interests, would drag our country into war and allow migrants into Hungary. We must not allow the fate of the country to be moved like a chess piece. Let us stand by the Hungarian path.

What is your opinion on this Verlap drama? On the one hand, anyone who thinks in 2026 that an election can be won by acquiring a website is, in my view, revealing everything about their capabilities and intentions. I believe everyone knows exactly where Fidesz stands, what we believe in, and what can be expected from us.

Over the past 15+ years, we have continuously proven that we are the party working for a work-based society: we have created an additional one million jobs, and today everyone who works is in a better position than before. We stand by families. People can thank us for countless family-support measures—tax exemptions, 3% loans, and much more—that help families and also make it possible for everyone to have a home of their own.

It is also well known where we stand on migration. We are the party that has always, firmly and decisively, rejected illegal migration—despite all pressure. And we can see how well this decision has worked out compared to what is happening in major Western European cities. Not only on New Year’s Eve or during riots, but on roughly 360 days of the year.

It is also known that we choose the Hungarian path. We do not allow Brussels to dictate to us. We will not support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, war loans, financial transfers to Ukraine, or involvement in the war simply because someone in Brussels demands it. That is not who we are.

At the same time, it is also clear what the Tisza party stands for—not because they openly and courageously say it, but because behind them there is a left-wing, Brussels-directed force that pushes and tells them what they must do in order to be “good leftists” and “good Brussels politicians.”

In my view, the choice is clear. There is a reliable, predictable Fidesz that for more than 15 years has not made excuses, but has shown what it believes in and that it can protect the Hungarian people. Covid may come, migration may come, war may come—and on the other side there is a Brussels-controlled force that wants to install a figure who can be moved like a chess piece, embodied in the person of Péter Magyar.

That is what this election is about.

🎭 “Election Drama” – A Rhetorical Dissection
(The logic of Alexandra Szentkirályi’s statement)

1️⃣ False dilemma: “either us, or catastrophe”

“The stakes of the election are clear…”

🔹 Technique: binary worldview

  • Fidesz = protection, peace, family, stability
  • Opposition = war, migration, foreign interests

👉 Problem:
There is no middle ground, no nuance, no policy debate. Anyone who is not with us is automatically portrayed as a threat.


2️⃣ Longevity = competence (false causality)

“For more than 15 years we have proven…”

🔹 Technique: “we’ve been doing it for a long time → therefore we’re doing it well”
👉 This is not evidence, but self-justification.

What is omitted:

  • inflation,
  • the housing crisis,
  • healthcare,
  • education,
  • real wages,
  • the freezing of EU funds.

3️⃣ “Brussels-directed left” – manufacturing an enemy

🔹 Techniques:

  • external enemy,
  • internal traitor,
  • fear of lost sovereignty.

👉 Classic Cold War narrative:
not a political opponent → but an agent of a foreign power.

This is emotional blackmail, not debate.


4️⃣ Migration panic – permanent state of emergency

“Let’s look at Western Europe…”

🔹 Techniques:

  • cherry-picked examples,
  • criminalizing generalizations,
  • continuous fear maintenance.

❗ No data, no comparison—only emotional imagery.


5️⃣ “We know, they won’t say it” – claim without proof

“It can be known what Tisza stands for…”

🔹 Technique: insinuation

  • no quotes,
  • no documents,
  • no concrete decisions.

👉 The expected reaction from the audience:
“If they say it, it must be true.”


6️⃣ Péter Magyar as a “chess piece”

🔹 Techniques:

  • dehumanization,
  • suggestion of incompetence,
  • character assassination.

👉 He is not debated—he is reduced to an object.


7️⃣ The “Hungarian path” as a religious dogma

“We are the stable, predictable force”

🔹 Technique: creed, not program

  • no future vision,
  • no new commitments,
  • no accountability.

👉 Pure loyalty test.


🧠 Overall picture – what is this really?

This text is:

❌ not an election program,
❌ not a policy debate,
❌ not fact-based argumentation.

It is:
✅ fear campaigning,
✅ identity politics,
✅ enemy construction,
✅ emotional coercion.

The “website drama” segment is particularly revealing:
👉 anyone who in 2026 is still fighting symbolic battles is not offering a future—but defending the past.

orbán viktor and propaganda

Our greatest ally is reality itself: the fact that people can see how their personal lives are improving. From this January, we introduced personal income tax exemption for mothers, the 14th monthly pension, and wage increases for teachers as well as for social and cultural workers. With Fidesz, we want to continue along this path in the future: with tax cuts, wage increases, and the protection of families.

Right now, I believe the most our side can do is simply to do its job — to implement the measures that have already come into force since the beginning of January: tax exemptions for families, the 14th monthly pension following the 13th, the “weapon bonus,” salary increases for teachers, and wage increases for social and cultural workers.

Truly, our greatest ally is reality itself: people can see what is happening in their own personal lives, that they are moving forward, step by step, from one level to the next.

1️⃣ “Reality is on our side” – self-validating framing

“Our greatest ally is reality itself…”

🔹 Technique: self-affirming frame
🔹 What does it do?
It appropriates “reality” itself. Anyone who disagrees is implicitly framed as someone who:

  • does not live in reality,
  • does not see “progress,” or
  • deliberately denies it.

👉 Debate exclusion: not arguments vs. counterarguments, but “reality” vs. “denial.”


2️⃣ Listing measures – enumeration as the illusion of proof

Personal income tax exemption, 14th-month pension, wage increases, “weapon bonus”…

🔹 Technique: quantitative listing
🔹 Problem:

  • no temporal, budgetary, or inflation context,
  • no discussion of real purchasing power,
  • no distinction between promises, partial measures, or temporary arrangements.

👉 The list is not analysis but emotional saturation:
“many items → therefore it must be good.”


3️⃣ Repetition – mantra construction

The same elements recur several times in the speech, slightly distorted and chaotically:

  • 13th / 14th-month pension,
  • tax exemptions for families,
  • wage increases.

🔹 Technique: repetition + redundancy
🔹 Goal: fixation, not understanding.

👉 A classic campaign tactic: it aims not at clarity, but at imprinting memory.


4️⃣ “We work, others talk” – moral superiority framing

“The most we can do is simply to do our job.”

🔹 Technique: implicit delegitimization
🔹 Message:

  • government = action
  • critics = talking / obstructing / complaining

👉 Opposition arguments are pre-emptively dismissed without being addressed.


5️⃣ “People can see it” – appeal to a silent majority

“People can see that they are moving forward, step by step…”

🔹 Technique: “silent majority” narrative
🔹 Issue: no data, no measurement, no evidence.

👉 Those who are not “moving forward” are excluded from the addressed community → symbolic exclusion.


Overall picture – what does this text actually do?

❌ It does not debate
❌ It does not measure
❌ It does not nuance

✅ It manufactures perception
✅ It constructs a moral frame
✅ It claims exclusive ownership of “reality”

This is not policy communication, but campaign-stabilizing propaganda:
👉 it communicates that “the outcome is already decided — you just need to notice it.”

orbán and szandi war war war..

War madness is raging across Europe.

Andrius Kubilius, the EU’s Commissioner for Defence, recently spoke about the need to create a large European army numbering in the hundreds of thousands, which would be centrally controlled, bypassing the peace-oriented member states.

The Lithuanian politician defined the army’s primary purpose as the defence of Ukraine, while Europe’s pro-war leaders have already decided to deploy European soldiers to Ukraine.

The position of the national government is clear: ceasefire instead of escalation, peace negotiations instead of war.

Hungary continues to reject Brussels’ war plans—we will not send European soldiers to Ukraine. The Hungarian path is the path of peace. Peace, security, and predictability can only be guaranteed by governments that are trustworthy, loyal, and experienced.

In times of danger, FIDESZ is the only safe choice!

Hi, szandra! Hello, hello!
I have one more question—because the first piece of war-escalation news has already arrived, fresh from the press. I saw it.

Andrius Kubilius, Lithuania’s EU Commissioner for Defence, spoke about the need for a 100,000-strong EU force whose task would be to defend Ukraine, and that this would be done by bypassing peace-oriented member states.

What do I think about this?

I believe this fits perfectly into the series of pro-war statements that have been continuously coming from EU defence circles over recent weeks and months. Once again, this is about someone working to take one step closer to drawing Europe into this war.

Meanwhile, over the past months we have been working on exactly the opposite—above all, to ensure that Hungary stays out of such an escalation. We continue to say clearly: we do not want to send soldiers to Ukraine, we do not want our sons taken into a war, and we do not want our money sent to Ukraine either.

We want Hungarian money to go to Hungarian people.

So naturally, we will stand against all such pro-war pressure.

And what happens if, for example, a soldier under the EU flag clashes with a Russian soldier?

That is an excellent question—because from that point on, with the European Union effectively entering this war, we are once again facing an ill-considered and dangerous pro-war proposal. To make such a statement requires either enormous stupidity, saying it without thinking through the consequences, or immense bad faith—a conscious and deliberate intention to draw Europe into war.

I don’t know which is worse. But based on the statements made in recent months, I believe the latter scenario is more likely.


1️⃣ “War hysteria is raging across Europe” – apocalyptic opening frame

🔹 Technique: fear-mongering, exaggerated framing
🔹 Effect: immediate creation of panic and emotional urgency
🔹 Problem:

  • no definition of what “hysteria” actually means,
  • no evidence provided—only emotional labeling.

👉 Goal: to push the reader into emotional mode before rational thinking begins.


2️⃣ Andrius Kubilius – authority + distorted claim

🔹 Technique: appeal to authority + exaggeration
🔹 Narrative:

  • “a hundred-thousand-strong European army,”
  • “centrally controlled, bypassing peace-minded member states.”

🔹 Issue:

  • it is unclear whether this refers to an actual decision, a proposal, or a policy debate,
  • the word “bypassing” creates a conspiracy-like impression without evidence.

👉 Classic propaganda trope: “Brussels is secretly plotting against us.”


3️⃣ “Europe’s pro-war leaders have already decided” – collective guilt

🔹 Technique: overgeneralization + homogenization
🔹 Effect:

  • differences between EU member states are erased,
  • anyone who disagrees with the government is labeled “pro-war.”

Factual problem:

  • no names, no timing, no concrete decision identified,
  • the claim “they have decided” is unsupported.

4️⃣ “The national government’s position is clear” – false binary choice

🔹 Technique: false dilemma

peace = Fidesz
war = everyone else

🔹 Reality:

  • diplomacy, arms deliveries, sanctions, and ceasefires are not binary issues,
  • several EU countries speak simultaneously about defense and negotiations.

👉 Framing: anyone who is not Fidesz is portrayed as “escalating the war.”


5️⃣ “The Hungarian path is the path of peace” – identity mantra

🔹 Technique: national exceptionalism
🔹 Effect:

  • emotional identification (“we are different, we are better”),
  • criticism is implicitly framed as anti-national.

This is not an argument, but a repeated slogan.


6️⃣ “Only trustworthy, loyal, and experienced governments…” – self-legitimizing closure

🔹 Technique: moral self-superiority
🔹 Problem:

  • no evidence that only Fidesz fits this description,
  • the statement is exclusionary: no other political alternative can be legitimate.

7️⃣ “In an age of danger, only FIDESZ is the safe choice” – classic campaign slogan

🔹 Technique: fear + exclusivity
🔹 Message:

  • the question is no longer whether it is good,
  • but whether you dare to take the risk.

👉 This is not security, but the logic of political coercion.


🧠 Summary – what is really happening?

This text:

❌ does not analyze EU defense debates,
❌ does not distinguish between proposals, statements, and decisions,
✅ but functions perfectly as a campaign message.

Primary objective:
👉 prevent voters from weighing options,
👉 and tie fear directly to a single political party.

orbán propaganda

👉 According to Gergely Karácsony, everything would be perfect if the “evil government” were not punishing Budapest residents with its so-called punitive tax policy. But what do the facts show?

In 2019, Gergely Karácsony took over the capital with HUF 214 billion in reserves. Six years later, we find ourselves in a situation where the country’s wealthiest city has been driven to the brink of bankruptcy, while this year’s budget is based on fictitious revenues.

🟠 For the government, the development of Budapest has always been a top priority—and it will remain so.
In recent years, the Fidesz government has invested several thousand billion forints in the nation’s capital, and numerous large-scale healthcare, education, tourism, and cultural projects are currently underway.

The greatest ally of good governance is reality.
Our political community continues to commit itself to ensuring peace, growth, and security in Budapest and throughout Hungary.

According to Gergely Karácsony, everything here in the capital would be perfect if the evil government were not punishing Budapest residents with its so-called punitive tax policy. But the truth could not be further from what Gergely Karácsony is claiming.

So let’s actually look at the facts. Gergely Karácsony has been mayor since 2019—for six years now. He took over a capital city that was already developing, after the government had carried out numerous investments during the nine years preceding his term. And these developments were not halted by the government during Karácsony’s time in office either.

He took over the city with HUF 214 billion in reserves, and in the span of six years he has managed to run things into such disarray that it became questionable whether the city could even close the current year at the budgetary level.

The capital has continuously adopted budgets—now for the second consecutive time in this cycle—that effectively include fictitious revenues. To be clear for viewers: this means that Gergely Karácsony lists items on the revenue side of the budget—specific figures—that he knows perfectly well will never actually materialize.

1️⃣ “Appeal to facts” – selective use of numbers

“Back in 2019, the capital was taken over with reserves of 214 billion forints.”

🔹 Technique: building authority through numbers
🔹 Problem:

  • it is not made clear how much of this amount was actually freely usable,
  • there is no mention of the pandemic, the energy crisis, or inflation,
  • there is no context: how did the financial trajectories of other major cities develop during the same period?

👉 Framing: “there was money → now there isn’t → therefore the city leadership must be incompetent”


2️⃣ “They bankrupted it” – strong emotional labeling

“They bankrupted the country’s richest city.”

🔹 Technique: dramatization + stigmatization
🔹 Fact:

  • legally, there is no bankruptcy procedure,
  • “bankruptcy” here is a political metaphor, not an economic category.

👉 Effect: fear-mongering and reinforcing the perception of incompetence.


3️⃣ “Fictitious revenues” – an unproven accusation

“This year’s budget is based on fictitious revenues.”

🔹 Technique: vague accusation
🔹 Missing:

  • which revenues exactly?
  • according to what calculation are they “fictitious”?
  • has there been any independent professional assessment on this?

👉 Goal: to sow suspicion without making a verifiable claim.


4️⃣ The government as the “good steward” – self-glorification

“Several thousand billion forints have been spent on the capital.”

🔹 Techniques:

  • quantitative exaggeration (“several thousand billion”),
  • listing projects without any concrete impact assessment.

🔹 Omission:

  • these are state investments, not part of the city’s own budget,
  • many projects were removed from municipal control by political decisions.

👉 Narrative: “we provide → they mess it up”


5️⃣ Declaration of moral superiority

“The main ally of a good government is reality.”

🔹 Technique: moral exclusion
🔹 Message:

  • anyone who disagrees is against reality itself,
  • there is no debate, only “good” and “bad” sides.

👉 A classic authoritarian communication formula.


6️⃣ Closing slogan – a promise package without content

“Peace, prosperity, and security.”

🔹 Technique: empty, positive buzzwords
🔹 Absent:

  • how,
  • from what resources,
  • for whom,
  • at what cost.

👉 Emotional closure, so no questions remain.


🎯 Overall picture

This text is not really about how Budapest functions. It is about:

  • shifting responsibility (blaming Gergely Karácsony),
  • self-justification (“we have done everything”),
  • and constructing a black-and-white political reality.

💡 Instead of real debate:
numbers without context + accusations without evidence + claims of moral superiority.

orbán viktor propaganda.. with szandi

Strong Budapest, strong Hungary!
The capital is our country’s most well-known and most visited tourist destination. 👉 This is where most businesses are based, where more than a third of the gross domestic product is generated, so it is a fundamental interest of the Hungarian government to further develop Budapest.

When Gergely Karácsony denies this, he is deliberately distorting reality. The mayor ignores the enormous amount of development—worth 3,000 billion forints—that has been carried out thanks to the government. ❌ In contrast, after six years as mayor, the only “achievement” he can point to is the constant shifting of responsibility.

Budapest is a sad example of what happens when the left comes to power. But you don’t have to be a Fidesz supporter to think this. Without a strong capital, there is no strong country. And this is not just talk.

So when a tourist comes here, where do they come? They come to Budapest, not to “Hungary.” Of course, we should also work on attracting visitors elsewhere, not only to Budapest—but let’s not deny that our main marketing product in the world, in tourism terms, is Budapest.

And let’s go through it point by point. When there is a major sporting event, it is usually held in Budapest. Where is the economic power? In Budapest. Most businesses are in Budapest. I’m only saying this because one has to be very sly—and I believe Gergely Karácsony is sly—when someone tries to deny the facts, reality itself, and pretend that the Hungarian government has no fundamental interest in developing this city, regardless of what we think about Karácsony’s performance.

And sorry, but I have to say it again: let’s look at the facts. Gergely Karácsony talks nonsense about how important this city is to him. And what has he done? What has he done in six years? His only achievement—if it can even be called that, and even then it’s a purely political one—is that he skillfully shifts responsibility.

But that doesn’t make me, as a citizen of Budapest, happy at all. A capital of this size, which in fact has constantly growing potential in the heart of Europe, which is safe and has all the necessary conditions, should not be treading water, dancing left and right for six years. It should be racing forward.

So let’s not call it an achievement that “oh, we were so clever, we didn’t go bankrupt.” Much more could be made of this city.

1️⃣ False equivalence: Budapest = government = country

Key lines from the speech:

  • “Without a strong capital, there is no strong country.”
  • “Budapest is our main marketing product.”
  • “It is a fundamental interest of the government to develop the city.”

This suggests that:

  • anyone who criticizes the government is acting against Budapest,
  • anyone who raises Budapest’s problems is working against the country.

This is a false logical chain, but politically very effective.


2️⃣ Throwing around numbers without context (3,000 billion)

The claim of “3,000 billion forints in development” is a classic propaganda trick:

  • no breakdown (what, when, whose decision),
  • no time frame,
  • no comparison with other capitals,
  • no accountability.

The figure is an emotional weapon, not professional data.


3️⃣ Personal attacks → character assassination

In the case of Gergely Karácsony, what appears is not policy debate, but:

  • calling him “sly,”
  • saying he “talks nonsense,”
  • claiming his “only achievement is shifting responsibility.”

👉 This is not criticism, but delegitimization.
The goal is not to argue with him, but to discredit him as a person.


4️⃣ “Not going bankrupt” as cynical distortion

This part is especially revealing:

  • “Let’s not call it an achievement that we didn’t go bankrupt.”

What is happening here?

  • the government takes away resources,
  • then mocks the city for merely surviving.

This is a classic power technique:

  • first, I restrict your room to maneuver,
  • then I demand to know why you’re not soaring.

5️⃣ Playing the role of the “Budapest citizen”

Szentkirályi speaks as if:

  • “I’m just a Budapest citizen, and this doesn’t make me happy.”

This is a pseudo-civilian position:

  • she does not speak as a government representative,
  • but as an “average citizen.”

Yet she is precisely the mouthpiece of the government’s narrative.


6️⃣ The final message (this is the essence)

If we condense it into one sentence:

“If Budapest does not develop visibly, it is the mayor’s fault — even if the government controls the money.”

This:

  • prepares the ground for further attacks,
  • justifies the withdrawal of funds,
  • politically closes the debate.

Conclusion – why is this speech dangerous?

Because it:

  • conflates the country with the government,
  • dumps the city’s problems onto one individual,
  • demands emotional loyalty instead of professional debate,
  • cynically relativizes the government’s responsibility.

This is not about Budapest’s future — it is about who owns the narrative.

orbán viktor and szentkirályi

We have already lined up the initial sixteen candidates with whom, according to our plans, we will head into this April’s election, and I am very optimistic. I believe, first of all, that Budapest is also a very strong bastion of the national side. If we look around Europe and examine other capitals to see how much support right-wing forces have there, or how much backing they command, we can see that Budapest is practically the strongest bastion among European capitals.

On the other hand, it is essential that those people who are entering the fight, entering the battle in April, have clear messages, clear answers, and clear goals. I think this is very obvious. And I believe that the election ultimately comes down to two alternatives.

There is a tested team that has proven itself in every difficult situation and crisis of recent years, which has always stood on the side of the Hungarian people—whether in times of war, pandemics, migration, or attempts to burden people with extra costs. Opposing them is another team which, now as always with left-wing forces in recent years, is financed from abroad and therefore directed from abroad.

For them, what happens to people and what is good for people here in Hungary will be of secondary importance. Their primary concern will be the interests of their foreign financiers.

Budapest is a strong bastion of the national side.
Our selected team of 16 candidates in the capital will work every day to improve the lives of Budapest’s citizens.

They are proven, reliable people who have stood their ground in every situation and always chosen the right side — whether it was migration, war, or economic pressure.

👉 Left-wing candidates would represent Brussels’ will.
They would sell off the pride and dignity of the nation’s capital, raise taxes, and welcome illegal migrants with open arms.

In April, we will choose together between two paths.
🟠 FIDESZ – The safe choice!

1️⃣ War Framing (“fight,” “battle,” “bastion”)

Politics is presented here not as a democratic competition, but as:

  • a fight,
  • a battle,
  • a bastion.

👉 This reflects militarized thinking, which:

  • excludes cooperation,
  • legitimizes aggressive communication,
  • frames opponents not as debate partners but as enemies.

This is not accidental wording — it is psychological mobilization.


2️⃣ False European Comparison (“Budapest is the strongest right-wing bastion”)

The claim:

“Budapest is practically the strongest bastion of the right wing among European capitals”

📌 Is unsupported by any data.

It remains unclear:

  • which election?
  • which time period?
  • which indicator?

👉 This is an empty legitimizing phrase, designed to:

  • inflate the self-confidence of the base,
  • deny the real political pluralism of Budapest.

3️⃣ Bipolar Worldview (False Dichotomy)

Throughout the text, reality is reduced to two alternatives:

✔️ “a tested national team capable of managing crises”
❌ “a left wing financed and directed from abroad”

👉 This is the classic “we are the nation — they are the outsiders” narrative.

There is no room for:

  • policy debates,
  • nuanced criticism,
  • acknowledgment of internal failures.

4️⃣ Foreign Funding as a Universal Stigma

The claim that the opposition is “financed and directed from abroad” is:

  • unproven,
  • vague,
  • yet morally condemning.

👉 Its purpose is not to inform, but to:

  • suggest treason,
  • morally delegitimize the opponent,
  • emotionally lock in voters.

5️⃣ The Empty Mantra of “Standing with the People”

Phrases like “we stood on the side of the people”:

  • name no concrete policies,
  • assume no responsibility for failures,
  • function as identity-substituting slogans.

👉 “The people” here is not real social diversity, but an abstract moral shield.


Conclusion

This speech is:

❌ not a program,
❌ not a vision,
❌ not an accountability exercise,

but rather:
✔️ a loyalty test,
✔️ fear framing,
✔️ enemy construction.

The most important message is not what they want to do, but:

“Anyone who is not with us is against us — and serves foreign interests.”

Orbán, war, Ukraine, and Szandi

Every young Hungarian has the right to know:
anyone who votes for the Tisza Party or the Democratic Coalition is voting against their own future.

Those who choose these parties may end up paying Ukrainian war bonds for the rest of their lives, while Tisza’s Brussels bosses would conscript them into the military.

Hungarian young people deserve a far better future than this.
Use your common sense, and this spring choose the only safe path: Fidesz.

The sure choice ❗️😉🟠

In an age of danger, when our lives are overshadowed by wars and crises, the most important thing is for Hungary to have an experienced, anti-war, and national government.

With a leader who not only reacts to events, but thinks ahead—always staying one step ahead of the others.

Let’s listen to reason and vote for Fidesz and Orbán Viktor!
