After Magyar Péter called on Orbán Viktor yesterday to resign over the Szőlő Street scandal and demanded that the President immediately call early elections, the Tisza sect, naturally following its leader, went into a frenzy and began demanding the government’s resignation on social media.
Of course, it is important that proper investigations take place regarding the Szőlő Street case to clarify exactly what happened there, but there are a few things that need to be kept in mind and put in order.
This is not a children’s home, and not an orphanage; it is a juvenile correctional facility, where children are placed who have committed crimes. Naturally, this does not mean that anything can be done to them, but it must also be understood that the situation may be stricter precisely because these are juvenile offenders. One should not believe the propaganda.
I will roughly try to explain how they are attempting to tie this whole affair to Orbán Viktor. The Szőlő Street correctional institution is a state institution, yes. So: state equals government equals Orbán Viktor.
This is somewhat like saying that if a BKV bus driver were to run over or hit a pedestrian waiting at a crosswalk because he wasn’t paying attention, the angry crowd would then blame Karácsony Gergely and immediately demand the mayor’s resignation. Totally logical, right? BKV, Budapest public transport, Mayor of Budapest — makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
So the current left-wing narrative, as you said, is that if someone commits a crime or abuse within a state institution, that is equivalent to Orbán Viktor personally committing that crime.
They also want to make you believe that they were the ones who uncovered the case, but this too is an outright lie, because it must be known that an investigation into this matter has been ongoing for quite some time.
Obviously, figures like Magyar Péter and Juhász Péter were pulled out from the bottom of the trash bin precisely so that they could incite the Hungarian public with cases like this. It seems that this is working to some extent, but thankfully they have not managed to deceive the majority once again.
No, the government does not need to resign, and Orbán Viktor does not need to resign because of the Szőlő Street scandal — but the investigations, as we have already said, must be carried out.
1️⃣ Framing: “hysteria” vs. “common sense”
Opening move:
“The Tisza sect has gone mad… they are demanding the government’s resignation…”
🎯 Function
- Immediately downplays the substantive seriousness of the case.
- Portrays protesters as an irrational mob.
- Pre-decides who is speaking “rationally” and who is “hysterically.”
👉 This is not a rebuttal, but character assassination.
2️⃣ Dehumanization of children (“juvenile offenders”)
“This is not a children’s home… but a correctional facility… juvenile offenders.”
⚠️ Key trick
- Legally true → morally misleading.
- Implicit message: strictness is “understandable,” abuse appears in a “different light.”
📌 What is omitted:
Minors in correctional facilities are still entitled to:
- human dignity
- protection from abuse
- prohibition of torture
These rights are non-negotiable.
👉 This is the gateway to victim-blaming.
3️⃣ Strawman argument in defense of Orbán Viktor
“The left-wing narrative says that if something happens in a state institution, it means Orbán Viktor did it.”
🧠 This is false.
The criticism is not that Orbán personally committed the acts, but that:
- the institution is state-run,
- the system operates under his government,
- supervisory and oversight responsibility exists at the political level.
👉 The propagandist deliberately simplifies the argument, then refutes this absurd version.
This is a strawman fallacy.
4️⃣ False analogy: BKV bus vs. child abuse
“As if a BKV driver hit someone and Karácsony Gergely were blamed…”
🚨 Why it’s false
A one-off traffic accident ≠
an institutional abuse case involving:
- a closed system,
- vulnerable minors,
- alleged long-term systemic misconduct.
👉 This is emotional minimization, not an argument.
(And yes: Karácsony Gergely’s name appears here purely as a distraction.)
5️⃣ “The investigation has been ongoing for a long time” – reassurance without evidence
“The investigation has been going on for quite some time.”
🧠 Propaganda function
- “Nothing to see here.”
- “The system is working.”
- “No further questions needed.”
📌 But:
- no dates,
- no authority named,
- no results cited.
👉 This is a sedative narrative, not information.
6️⃣ Enemy construction: demonizing individuals
“Magyar Péter and Juhász Péter were pulled out of the trash bin…”
🎯 Goal
- Turn a systemic issue into a personal political attack.
- Divert attention away from:
- abuse,
- institutional responsibility.
Here appear:
- Magyar Péter
- Juhász Péter
👉 The focus shifts from claims to claimants.
7️⃣ Closing move: “no resignation needed, but let’s investigate”
This is the most typical whitewashing ending:
- moral responsibility: ❌
- political consequences: ❌
- structural questions: ❌
- “investigation”: ✔️ (abstract, timeless)
👉 This allows simulated outrage while avoiding accountability.
🔚 Summary – what is really happening?
This text:
- relativizes child abuse,
- dehumanizes the affected children,
- defends power through false analogies,
- manufactures enemies to divert focus,
- invokes vague investigations as cover.
📌 The real core message is:
“No one needs to resign – the system is fine.”
This is not information.
This is system-defense propaganda in moral language.
