According to the Euronews report, based on data from the European Central Bank, real wages in Hungary increased by the second-largest amount in Europe, and within the European Union we rank first. Moreover, this favorable trend is set to strengthen further with the new benefits coming into effect in January.

“Is this guy even normal?!”
I don’t usually “lose my temper,” but as the father of five children, the latest brainwave from Mark Rutte, the NATO Secretary General, really blew a fuse for me! 😡
This fine gentleman says about the Russian–Ukrainian conflict:
“Several European countries have indicated that they would be ready to provide troops if there were a need.
At present, work is underway to determine exactly what this so-called ‘coalition of the willing’ would look like: what a deployment would involve, what would happen on land, at sea, and in the air.
I have no doubt: when the situation turns serious, young people will be ready to take up arms.”
Even if it were about defending against a Russian attack directed at NATO… but these people want to ATTACK Russia! And of course, leading the charge—who else but the Germans! 🤦♂️
Then arm your own children, old man—not ours‼️
But there’s also a typically “Hungarian” criticism here: there is this thing called the RRF, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, where a rather substantial amount — around 900 billion forints — was allocated to healthcare development, and part of it should have been used for hospital renovations. Fifty hospitals and thirty-one ambulance stations were on the list. Yet, as we know, our political opponents are blocking these funds for political reasons.
So I came up with the idea: if the EU doesn’t give us the money from one pocket, then we’ll simply take it from the other pocket of the Brussels bureaucrats. And I brought this proposal to Minister Lantos — to send a little jab — that if we don’t get it from one place, we’ll take it from another. And in this energy-efficiency envelope, which has been opened to Hungarians — thanks to the Prime Minister — we can tap into a sizable EU fund. With that, we will now be able to renovate exactly those 50 hospitals and about 20 ambulance stations that were originally on the list.
In Szombathely, the average waiting time is 73 days — which actually puts the city among the worst in the country. Don’t let them mislead you! They might just be trying to push you into the private sector. Book an appointment with a different doctor or simply go to Csorna — it’s only about a 30-minute drive on Route 86 — and you can get seen within three weeks.
Healthcare is a field where the job is never truly done. There is always a new challenge — just think of the sudden emergence of a global pandemic that we had to respond to and prepare for. I believe Hungary’s healthcare workers and service system performed excellently. There is always a new technology, a new medicine — always another step forward to take.
Of course, we don’t have endless resources, but we are always guided by the determination to address people’s real problems. We are a government that doesn’t sweep issues under the rug or deny them — we identify them, we work out the solutions, we have a vision, we know exactly where we want to go, and we carry out that plan.
Even if we only talk about infrastructure: if I could, I would put our critics — our political opponents — into a time machine and send them back to 2008 to look around Hungarian hospitals, to see the state of the ambulance service back then — the ambulances were more than 13 years old and completely worn out.
And where are we now? Since we came into government, we have renovated — fully or at least partially — 91 hospitals and countless outpatient clinics. Under the Hungarian Village Program alone, we have renovated 625 medical offices. That’s a huge achievement. We have purchased 1,160 ambulances, and by the end of this year we will acquire another hund
There are 111 hospitals in Hungary in 2025.
So if 50 are “blocked”…
well, math clearly isn’t Fidesz’s best friend.
For quite some time we have known — or rather, every sign suggests — that a portion of these “sect members” truly wants a civil war. In public, of course, the “smarter ones” try to hide this, but it’s entirely obvious that they wouldn’t mind an armed seizure of power, and overthrowing the constitutional order would be a cheerful Tuesday pastime for them. Now Puzsér has said out loud what we have already suspected: it is in Péter Magyar’s interest to follow the lawful path only as long as that path remains open for him to gain power. According to Puzsér, the situation may change if that path closes. In that case, Péter Magyar would have to resort to a radical move: he would need to call on Hungarians to paralyze the country.
First of all, we could ask the only logical question when someone says something like this: does this person understand what he is talking about? Does he know what it means to overthrow the constitutional order, or what a civil war emerging from that would entail?
Let me explain.
The shared reality disappears, and people no longer see debate partners, compatriots, or fellow human beings — only enemies. The first consequence of civil war is the disappearance of trust. Not only trust in the state, but trust in one another. Neighbour suspects neighbour, friend suspects friend, family member suspects family member.
The legal order collapses. Laws still exist on paper, but they no longer apply equally to everyone. Vigilantism appears, the “justice of our side” that overrides both the law and universal human values.
Work disappears, supply chains break down, money loses its value. Not in a theoretical sense, but very concretely: no fuel, no medicine, no food. And Mari néni’s hip surgery or the toilet paper shortage in hospitals will be the least of our problems.
Civil war is not heroic — it is misery: queues, freezing homes, shuttered shops, abandoned neighbourhoods. The highest price is always paid by those who never wanted any of it. Children, the elderly, civilians. Civil war does not take place along frontlines, but in housing estates, in villages, around schools.
Fear becomes permanent, and trauma is passed down across generations. A civil war teaches people to fear one another — and that is a knowledge very hard to forget.
That is why it is not romantic, not revolutionary, not liberating — but the deepest form of societal failure.
I cannot emphasize this enough: we must stay vigilant.
They are capable of anything.
🧠 1️⃣ “Hidden Intent” Narrative (Sectarian Framing)
Key sentence:
“Every sign suggests that some of these cultists truly want a civil war.”
🔍 Technique: insinuation + collective stigmatization
👉 Function:
Not presenting an opponent → constructing a threat.
🧩 2️⃣ Appeal to an Outside Authority (Indirect Threat)
Reference: Róbert Puzsér
🔍 Trick:
👉 Classic plausible deniability.
🧨 3️⃣ Hypothetical Future → Treated as Established Danger
Claim:
“As long as the legal path is open… if it closes…”
🔍 Logical flaw:
👉 This is slippery slope argumentation.
🩸 4️⃣ “Civil War” as an Emotional Shock Package
The second half doesn’t argue—it triggers anxiety:
All of these are possible in a crisis, but:
⚠️ The order is manipulative:
👉 The reader doesn’t evaluate—just feels fear.
🎭 5️⃣ Moral Closure: “We Must Stay Vigilant”
Closing line:
“These people are capable of anything.”
🔍 Function:
👉 Not a warning—an authorization to ostracize.
⚖️ 6️⃣ What’s conspicuously missing?
📌 The text doesn’t refute—it pre-judges.
🧠 One-sentence summary
This piece isn’t arguing against civil war—it uses fear to delegitimize a political opponent while normalizing the very social distrust it presents as a threat.
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.
Opening move:
“The Tisza sect has gone mad… they are demanding the government’s resignation…”
🎯 Function
👉 This is not a rebuttal, but character assassination.
“This is not a children’s home… but a correctional facility… juvenile offenders.”
⚠️ Key trick
📌 What is omitted:
Minors in correctional facilities are still entitled to:
These rights are non-negotiable.
👉 This is the gateway to victim-blaming.
“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 propagandist deliberately simplifies the argument, then refutes this absurd version.
This is a strawman fallacy.
“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:
👉 This is emotional minimization, not an argument.
(And yes: Karácsony Gergely’s name appears here purely as a distraction.)
“The investigation has been going on for quite some time.”
🧠 Propaganda function
📌 But:
👉 This is a sedative narrative, not information.
“Magyar Péter and Juhász Péter were pulled out of the trash bin…”
🎯 Goal
Here appear:
👉 The focus shifts from claims to claimants.
This is the most typical whitewashing ending:
👉 This allows simulated outrage while avoiding accountability.
This text:
📌 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.
“There are people who use the Christmas season to spread hatred and hostility. We know exactly who they are — but now let me show you how we spend the days before Christmas. I think that would be really great.”
🎭 1️⃣ Projection (what they do → they blame others for)
“Some people use even the Christmas period for spreading hate.”
🔍 Real function:
Not describing — labeling
Not proving — insinuating
Not naming — but everyone is expected to “know” who he means
👉 Classic narcissistic trick:
“I don’t do it — they do.”
while in reality he and his circle thrive on constant hate-fueling.
This is projection: relocating one’s own behavior onto the “enemy.”
🧠 2️⃣ Moral superiority posturing
“We know who they are…”
This is an in-group signal:
“We — the good ones”
“They — the bad ones”
📌 Message:
No debate, no nuance, no facts — only moral judgment.
🎬 3️⃣ Stage shift: “But we, on the other hand…”
“…let me show you how we spend the days before Christmas.”
This is image repair.
🧩 What’s happening?
hate → love
conflict → cozy Christmas mood
👉 A narrative escape:
“I won’t address criticism — I’ll distract you with a feel-good picture.”
🔄 4️⃣ The full formula in one sentence
“We are not spreading hate — the haters are the ones who criticize us.”
This equals:
🧨 Why is this dangerous?
Because it:
Meanwhile:
They start the division
Then they play the victim.
“Full house at the ice rink in Budapest, packed with foreigners — once again, so many people decided to spend their winter vacation in a safe and peaceful place, meaning Hungary.
By the way, I wonder this year whether the number of cars that the suburban youths — let me put it in a ‘PC way’ — that the suburban youths in France set on fire just for fun on New Year’s Eve will be above a thousand or stay below a thousand.
So, place your bets!”
1️⃣ False sense of security → “the ice rink is full, foreigners are coming”
Implication: if there are many tourists, then the country must be objectively safe.
Trick: anecdotal evidence replaces statistics — mood over measurement.
📌 What’s missing:
• crime data
• economic drivers (cheap prices, weak currency)
• crowded alternative destinations
👉 Emotional impression, not fact.
2️⃣ “PC mode” → pre-emptive self-absolution
“let me put it in a PC way”
This serves as a rhetorical safety net:
• pre-relativizes a racist/xenophobic statement
• suggests: “I’m just saying the truth you’re not allowed to say”
👉 Classic “I’m not racist, but…” opener.
3️⃣ Demonizing France → scapegoat creation
“suburban youths torch cars as a hobby”
Stereotype + sweeping generalization.
Missing entirely:
• context
• proportionality
• causal analysis
📌 Riots in France exist — but not “as a hobby,” not by a single unified group, not in the same way every year.
👉 A complex social phenomenon flattened into an enemy image.
4️⃣ “Place your bets!” → cynical gamification
A serious issue (violence, riots) is turned into a joke or a bet.
This:
• normalizes cruelty
• creates moral superiority for the audience
👉 “We are civilized — they are barbarians.”
| Element | Actual function |
|---|---|
| Full ice rink in Budapest | Self-branding |
| Foreign tourists | External validation |
| France car-burning | Enemy construction |
| “PC mode” | Pre-emptive defense |
| Betting game | Cynical emotional hook |
• comparable data
• nuanced explanation
• acknowledgment of domestic problems
• responsibility, solutions, policy
This is not analysis.
This is the production of:
👉 moral superiority + fear-mongering + identity politics
Brussels, in one of its long-term plans looking toward 2030, already writes that we must be prepared for Europe to be in a state of war readiness by then. We must be ready, if necessary, for a war. And that means, quite precisely, that the 2026 election will be the last one in which we can decide who represents the Hungarian position. Will it be Viktor Orbán, who has stood for peace from the very first moment, or will it be Péter Magyar, who would line up with the pro-war voices and who so far has not had a single independent opinion of his own—only what was permitted to him from Brussels?
That is why the 2026 election is decisive. Because we are not simply choosing a prime minister. We are not only choosing a government, and not only choosing an economic direction—though that is also very important and directly affects people’s everyday lives and their wallets. We are also choosing whether, in the period after 2026, Europe will move toward war and prepare for it, or whether there will be a sober voice in Europe—if the others no longer are—someone who can prevent this complete madness.
🔴 1️⃣ False claims presented as established facts
“Brussels is preparing for war!”
“They will reintroduce conscription, send troops to the front lines.”
📌 Reality:
The EU is not an army and has no legal power to introduce conscription.
There is no EU decision on mandatory conscription.
There is no EU decision on “sending troops to the front line.”
👉 What does exist:
• strategic defence contingency planning
• capability development by member states
• deterrence within the NATO framework
This is not a “war decision” — it’s the bare minimum of security policy in a war-threatened environment.
🔴 2️⃣ “They said so” — but who? where? when?
“They said the EU must be ready for war by 2030.”
🧠 Classic propaganda trick:
• no source
• no quote
• no identifiable decision-maker
👉 “Be ready” does not mean “we’re going to war” — it means:
If we are attacked, we shouldn’t collapse.
It’s the same logic as:
• buying insurance
• maintaining a fire department
• building flood defenses
🔴 3️⃣ False electoral framing (false dilemma)
“At the upcoming election, we can decide between war and peace.”
❌ Not true.
📌 A Hungarian national election does not decide:
• an EU war
• a NATO intervention
• conscription in other states
👉 It’s pure psychological pressure:
If you don’t vote for us → you’ll bring war.
🔴 4️⃣ Self-absolving “peace branding”
“Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian government have always stood for peace.”
📌 What is left unsaid:
• weapons transit through Hungary
• Hungary contributes to NATO missions
• massive ongoing military development
• “peace” is a marketing slogan, not a strategy
👉 Here, “peace” is not diplomacy — it’s campaign branding.
🔴 5️⃣ Final mantra: “Don’t take risks!”
This line is the key.
🧠 Its message:
• change = danger
• questioning = risk
• alternatives = war
👉 This is status quo intimidation, not argumentation.
🧩 Big picture — what is this really?
This post does not inform. It:
✔️ manufactures fear
✔️ builds a false causal chain
✔️ applies moral pressure
✔️ turns a vote into existential panic
This is not peace policy.
This is panic marketing.
