⚠️ One of the most severe energy crises in history is approaching Europe!

According to the head of the International Energy Agency, an energy crisis is looming that could be greater than the crises of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined.

This could simultaneously mean:
➡️ a surge in oil prices
➡️ a surge in gas prices
➡️ further increases in food prices
➡️ a severe economic shock across Europe

The question is clear: who can protect Hungary in this situation?

Certainly not those who would carry out every instruction from Brussels, abolish utility cost reductions, eliminate protected prices, and make Hungarian people pay the price of the crisis.

🇭🇺 Hungary’s energy security must be protected!
🇭🇺 Hungarian families must be protected from soaring prices!

In an age of danger, only a strong, experienced, national government is capable of protecting the country. That is why only Fidesz and Viktor Orbán can guarantee the security of Hungary and its people.

On Sunday, we are the safe choice! 2 × Fidesz! 🧡💪

💡 In short, honestly

This communication:

and above all:

➡️ fear + cling + vote

🔚 In one sentence

👉 This is a classic “crisis → fear → savior” propaganda cycle, with heavy repetition and minimal real content.

🟠 Even in an age of dangers, we guarantee Hungary’s energy security.
❗We will not allow a pro-Ukraine government to be imposed on us, which is why Fidesz is the only safe choice.

A weekend news report claimed that in Serbia, in Vojvodina, in the Southern Region, there was an attempt to blow up the TurkStream gas pipeline that also supplies Hungary. What do you think about that?

Well, this is a terrorist act, essentially an act of sabotage, and I believe it is very important that, in line with the Hungarian government’s decision, the Hungarian Defence Forces have already reinforced—on the Hungarian side as well—those strategic energy facilities that are essential for ensuring that we continue to receive energy safely. Due to this unfortunate event, these measures have now been stepped up even further.

At the same time, we can see that massive forces are trying to interfere in the Hungarian elections. Let’s not forget that two years ago the Ukrainians already shut off the Russian gas that was transiting through their territory. As a result, this is now our only alternative route through which gas reaches us. There is no other alternative. So if we lose this as well, we will be in serious trouble.

And it should come as no surprise to anyone that the Ukrainians are keeping us under an oil blockade. The situation is that we must be aware: in the coming days, everything will be attempted in order to replace a sovereign, pro-Hungarian government with a pro-Ukraine, pro-war government favored by Brussels.

But in the end, this is not for them to decide—it is up to Hungarian voters. So on April 12, everyone will decide whether they want a pro-war, pro-Ukraine government, or a sovereign Hungarian one going forward.

❗ If Péter Magyar were to come to power, he would send Hungarians’ money to Ukraine, and austerity would follow.
🟠 Viktor Orbán, on the other hand, stands up for Hungarian interests, which is why Fidesz is the only safe choice this Sunday!

So with Péter Magyar, austerity would come—could this finally be proven? Well, I think this has unfortunately been a fixed point in the Tisza party’s program all along. As I recall, Péter Felcsuti is one of the experts who helped write and endorse this program, in which—somehow—if you add up the total of these austerity measures, you end up with exactly the amount Hungary would need to contribute to supporting Ukraine.

So in my view, if someone puts the pieces together, they will see that Péter Magyar is essentially being pushed onto us from Ukraine and Brussels, precisely so that he can carry out those plans—such as Ukraine’s accession to the European Union and the financing of Ukraine—that Viktor Orbán is simply unwilling to support.

And why is he unwilling? Because it would be bad for the Hungarian people—because that money would be taken out of our pockets and spent on Ukraine instead.

🧩 In short

This message:

• does not provide data
• does not analyze policies
• does not prove anything

instead:

👉 it tries to trigger an emotional decision

🗣️ A Tisza supporter asked me a question, and I responded.

The situation is that if Péter Magyar were to come to power, the same kind of left-wing governance would return as before 2010: austerity measures, the abolition of utility cost reductions, and the rollback of family support programs.

Where would Tisza get the money to maintain current benefits if Hungarian taxpayers’ money is being spent on financing Ukraine?!

🟠 Hungary needs a leader who can say no to Ukraine, to Brussels, and who always keeps Hungarian interests in mind! That is why Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are the safe choice on April 12!

Through my parents—and through what they experienced—I have a clear memory of the period between 2002 and 2010, when they really struggled under the left-wing governments of the time. I remember how we kept hearing beforehand that there would be no gas price increases, that everything good would be kept, and only the bad things would be fixed. Well, that sounded very appealing.

I would simply like to ask: where will Péter Magyar and his allies get the money to maintain utility cost reductions if they want to contribute to financing Ukraine—since that is clearly what the European Union and Ukraine would expect from them? And where would the money come from for things like utility subsidies, the 13th–14th month pensions, family support, income tax exemptions, or 3% loans?

So in reality, these companies are not reinvesting into the domestic economy, but rather exploiting the advantage they receive through large tax incentives, allowing them to establish environmentally polluting factories.

On the other hand, Hungary has very strict environmental regulations—practically as strict as those in Germany. This can be verified; it is a fact.

Secondly, supporting investments and encouraging job creation in Hungary is important. For example, since 2010, there has been an increase of around one million jobs compared to the period of left-wing governments, which is a significant achievement.

However, once a company has firmly established itself and is producing in Hungary, then in certain economic situations—such as after COVID or during an energy crisis related to war—it is reasonable to expect, as was done with banks and large multinational companies, that they contribute in a form of solidarity to supporting the Hungarian economy. In such cases, there should be no distinction between this multinational or that one, whether Eastern or Western—this should apply to everyone.

💬 Short, raw summary (your style)

This message:

• pulls up past fears
• projects them onto a new actor
• creates financial panic
• and leaves only one “safe” choice

➡️ classic fear + money + enemy propaganda

👉 What’s at stake in the election is also how much money stays in our pockets!

According to Péter Felcsuti, the author of the leaked “Tisza package,” if Péter Magyar were to come to power, he would abolish utility cost reductions, the 14th-month pension, personal income tax exemptions for mothers, and “a lot of other measures introduced by Fidesz.” According to the Tisza expert, these are “nonsense.”

🟠 We, on the other hand, will protect the wallets and security of Hungarian families! This Sunday, let’s show in large numbers: Fidesz is the safe choice!

---

That’s why we say this election is about your wallet, because a Tisza expert has spoken and explained what he thinks about the current measures. Take a look yourselves at what, in my opinion, should be eliminated. I consider these to be the greatest nonsense.

So the question is: if there is a change of system, what will the new government be able to keep from the currently distributed benefits? Whether it’s tax exemptions for women, or the continued payment of the 14th-month pension, or whether they will be forced to cut these, scale them back, or tighten fiscal policy.

I believe that all of these measures you mentioned are, in fact, the greatest nonsense—including, for example, what you didn’t mention: utility price protection (as it is commonly called). And many other things introduced by Fidesz as well.

👉 In short:
it’s not about truth → it’s about who you trust

Change is not an opportunity, but a risk—especially in times of danger and crisis.
Only Viktor Orbán and the Fidesz are the safe choice!

You see, there are people like my son—at his workplace there are these “Tisza people,” and my son says, “Mom, they’re all about change at work.” I tell him, “Son, you mustn’t.” I say, “You know what? We’ll hit rock bottom. All of us. Are you living well now? Do you have any problems? No. Then why not keep what’s good? Then we don’t need change. We really don’t need it, I’m serious.”

Because this is all I can tell them: you mustn’t just blindly listen to everyone. Because this… I say it like this, this guy is misleading the whole nation. For me, this life is good—there’s no stress, nothing like that. Listen—back then, when the kids were little, during the time of Ferenc Gyurcsány, my husband couldn’t just go to work like that. Now Orbán has been in power for 16 years. I’ve had a job for 14 years. Do you understand? So this says it all. Fourteen years.

Change is not an opportunity, but a risk—especially in times of danger and crisis.
Only Viktor Orbán and the Fidesz are the safe choice!

👉 Core narrative

• “change = danger”
• “the current situation = safety”

🧩 Short summary

This message is not trying to inform, but to:

👉 keep you in place

• “don’t change”
• “stay where you are”
• “otherwise things will get worse”

➡️ This is the classic formula:
fear + safety = vote

On April 12, we will be deciding not only about our livelihoods but also about our security — the stakes of the election are enormous.

If the Tisza party were to come to power, Hungarian families would have at least one million forints less in their pockets every year. And let’s not forget about the wars, the migration pressure that could rise again, or the issue of gender. It matters who will decide the fate of Hungarians.

In an age of dangers and uncertainty, there is only one safe choice: Fidesz.

There is no need for tactics or tricks — we must speak plainly, honestly, and directly to everyone: on April 12, everyone will be deciding about their own livelihood and their own security. Not about distant, abstract issues, but about things that directly affect their lives.

Minus one million forints every year if Tisza phases out Russian energy and cuts us off from it. It could even be much more money lost if foreign banks and multinational companies are allowed back in, bringing back the kind of unchecked exploitation seen before 2010.

And I haven’t even mentioned the issue of security, migration, or gender — all of which directly and profoundly affect the everyday lives of every Hungarian, as well as the future of our children and grandchildren.

⚠️ Overall Picture

This message does not aim to inform, but to:

👉 create an emotional state:

• fear
• uncertainty
• fear of loss

👉 then offer a single solution:

• “Fidesz = security”

---

🧩 In short (essence)

👉 This is a classic campaign formula:

financial loss + fear + multiple threats + demonized past + single solution
→ “vote for us, or you will live worse”

If Brussels and the Tisza Party turn everything upside down, we will still protect Hungarians!
🟠 On Sunday, Fidesz is the safe choice!

Good morning to everyone—except those who are lobbying for Brussels to force us to abolish the protected fuel prices at petrol stations.

🧠 What is actually happening in this message?

👉 Main narrative

• “Brussels + Tisza = danger”
• “we = we will protect Hungarians”
• “only Fidesz is the safe choice”

➡️ core formula:
fear + enemy image + protection + election
→ “if you don’t vote for us → you will be in danger”

---

🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“Brussels and Tisza stand on their heads”

👉 Technique:

• merging two separate actors into one block
• combining “external + internal enemy”

👉 Goal:
➡️ create a simple, easy-to-understand “enemy”

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t analyze them separately → you group them together (“they are against us”)

---

2️⃣ Us vs. Them (polarization)

👉 Excerpt:
“we will protect Hungarians no matter what”

👉 Technique:

• “we” = protectors, good
• “they” = dangerous

👉 Goal:
➡️ build identity (“our side”)

👉 Effect:
➡️ emotional alignment → not a rational decision

---

3️⃣ Protector framing

👉 Excerpt:
“we will protect Hungarians”

👉 Technique:

• government = guarantee of security
• implicit threat: something must be protected against

👉 Goal:
➡️ activate the need for safety

👉 Effect:
➡️ fear → search for protection → vote

---

4️⃣ Fear appeal (implicit)

👉 Excerpt:

• no specific threat is named
• but: “we will protect” → implies danger exists

👉 Technique:

• vague, unverifiable threat

👉 Goal:
➡️ trigger emotions without being fact-checkable

👉 Effect:
➡️ uncertainty → you choose “safety”

---

5️⃣ Simplified electoral choice (binary framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“On Sunday, Fidesz is the safe choice!”

👉 Technique:

• no alternatives presented
• implicit: anything else = risk

👉 Goal:
➡️ simplify the decision

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t evaluate → you choose the “safe option”

---

6️⃣ Mockery + exclusion (social pressure framing)

👉 Excerpt:
“except those who lobby for…”

👉 Technique:

• openly ridiculing a group
• “they don’t belong to us”

👉 Goal:
➡️ create social pressure

👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t want to belong to that group → you conform

---

7️⃣ Economic fear trigger (prices)

👉 Excerpt:
“protected fuel prices at gas stations”

👉 Technique:

• concrete, everyday issue (fuel)
• directly affects your wallet

👉 Goal:
➡️ bring politics to a personal level

👉 Effect:
➡️ “this affects me” → stronger emotional reaction

---

🧠 Overall picture (very briefly)

This is a classic short campaign message:

➡️ enemy (Brussels + Tisza)
➡️ threat (prices, need for protection)
➡️ savior (government)
➡️ single solution (Fidesz)

👉 minimal facts
👉 maximum emotion

---

🎯 Why it feels “disgusting”

Because:

• it oversimplifies (narrative instead of reality)
• it manipulates (fear + identity)
• it gives no real information, only direction
• it reduces everything to “good vs bad”

➡️ your brain detects: this is not clean communication → it’s influence/manipulation
