Brussels has given three times (!) as much money to Ukraine in just three years as Hungarians have received over the entire period of our EU membership since 2004.
The war and misguided Brussels policies have already cost millions to every Hungarian family, but Ukraine’s new, purely economic $800 billion (!) demand would mean an additional 1.3 million forints per Hungarian family.
This is money that people would literally have to take out of a drawer at home and hand over to Zelensky. Absolutely not.
At the same time, Brussels doesn’t even have this money, which is why they are demanding war-related tax hikes and cuts to social support. They would take away the 13th and 14th month pensions, home-creation subsidies, CSOK, utility price caps, the flat income tax, worker loans, as well as tax benefits for mothers, young people, and families. I could go on at length.
Only a strong national government can resist this — a government that has been doing exactly that for 15 years. That is why Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice.
If Brussels’ newly appointed puppets were to come to power, they would not be able to resist — and would not dare to. Anyone can see that.
What do you think about the report by the Ministry for European Union Affairs on how much Brussels’ war policy is costing us?
I’ve seen that report as well. In my view, it contains brutal figures, but it only confirms what we have already seen: this war is essentially being paid for by the Hungarian people and by Europeans.
The report states very clearly that the money the European Union has spent on Ukraine over just the past few years is three times the amount Hungary has received during its entire EU membership since 2004. In other words, everything we have received from Brussels since joining the EU combined amounts to only one third of what has recently been spent on Ukraine.
And then there is the 800 billion euros that Ukraine’s prime minister has spoken about — money that, independently of military and war-related expenditures, would still be required from us in the coming years.
It is worth translating this into concrete terms: Hungary’s share alone would mean around 1.3 million forints per family. Just imagine if every Hungarian family had to put 1.3 million forints on the table at home, and there would be no question about where that money would be taken from — because it would be missing from somewhere.
It would be missing from the 13th and 14th month pensions, from support for businesses, from tax benefits for families, and from tax exemptions.
As long as Hungary has a national government, we will not allow this. But if some Brussels-installed puppet government were to come to power, then, obviously, anything could happen. That’s exactly the point.
1️⃣ “Brussels gave three times as much to Ukraine as to Hungary since 2004”
Technique: false comparison (apples vs. oranges)
What’s the trick?
- Hungary has been a net beneficiary within the EU (cohesion funds, agricultural subsidies, recovery funds).
- Money given to Ukraine is crisis and war assistance, not structural funding tied to EU membership.
- The timeframe, purpose, and legal category are completely different.
👉 This is like saying:
“More money was spent on firefighting than on home renovation — therefore firefighters are stealing.”
2️⃣ “800 billion dollars → 1.3 million forints per family”
Technique: fictional allocation + shock numbers
What’s the problem?
- There is no approved, mandatory EU contribution of this kind.
- There is no mechanism by which such an amount would be collected “per family.”
- The EU budget simply does not work this way.
👉 This is psychological blackmail, not calculation:
“Imagine this being taken from you” — even though no such decision exists.
3️⃣ “This money would be given to Zelensky”
Technique: personalized scapegoating
This is where Volodymyr Zelensky appears as a constructed enemy figure.
Purpose:
- To attach abstract EU decisions to a single face
- To provoke moral outrage (“Would you give him your money?”)
👉 A classic case of externalized enemy construction.
4️⃣ “They would take away the 13th–14th month pensions, CSOK, utility price caps”
Technique: fear-based listing
Important facts:
- There is no EU decision to abolish a 13th or “14th” month pension.
- A “14th month pension” does not even exist as a legal institution.
- CSOK and utility price caps are domestic budgetary policy decisions.
👉 This is conditional future scaremongering:
“If it’s not us, everything will be bad.”
5️⃣ “Only a strong national government can resist”
Technique: savior narrative
This is where the argument arrives at the political legitimization of Orbán Viktor and Fidesz.
Message, simplified:
- We = protection
- Others = betrayal / weakness / puppets
👉 This is authoritarian logic, not an economic argument.
6️⃣ The problem with the “report”
“I’ve seen the report as well”
Key questions that are not answered:
- Is it public?
- Does it contain a full budgetary breakdown?
- Are the figures gross or net?
- Are these legally binding items or political estimates?
👉 A government ministry document is not an independent source.
The overall picture – what is really happening?
This is not information, but:
- fear-mongering
- false calculations
- enemy-image construction
- domestic political mobilization
The real question is not whether the EU is making mistakes regarding Ukraine —
but why it is necessary to project a “1.3 million forints per family” horror story to make that case.
In short:
👉 This is campaign rhetoric, not economic analysis.
👉 It uses numbers, but does not actually calculate.
👉 It merges Brussels, Ukraine, and the domestic opposition into a single enemy bloc.
