Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General:
“Several European countries have indicated that they would be ready to provide troops if there were a need for it. Work is currently underway to define exactly what the structure of this so-called ‘coalition of the willing’ would look like: how a deployment would be carried out, what would happen on land, at sea, and in the air. I have no doubt that when the situation becomes serious, young people will be ready to take up arms.”

“It is no coincidence that Magyar Péter published around fifty social media posts over the past week, and in none of them did he state his position on the war. He did not do so because if he did, the Hungarian people would not want his program.”

No substance, just talking in circles. Ask someone else.

I am the chairman of the Fidesz organization of Budapest’s 13th district.

Here are two truly “smart” patrons of the war, who even finance a golden toilet from 🫵 your money!
Now go ahead and do what they do!

In 2022, Hungary’s sovereignty was most strongly attacked by the then Washington administration and by George Soros; today, those attacks are coming from Brussels. The reason is that the liberal elite, by financing the domestic opposition, wants to bring down the national government. We, too, will have a word or two to say about this.

What would happen if the Tisza formed a government?

– What would happen if, in 2026, Péter Magyar became prime minister and a Tisza majority formed a government?
– I cannot imagine such a scenario.
– The kind of blackmail potential created by his immunity, and by the entire left-wing elite surrounding him and pushing Tisza, makes it simply unimaginable that anything would happen other than doing exactly what Brussels tells us.
– The level of security we currently live with would not exist in Hungary. That’s why it’s better not to take risks; it’s better to vote for us.
– I’m a person with a positive mindset, and somehow I believe that just as four years ago—when the opposition was very loud on social media, including on my own pages, saying it was all over—there ended up being another two-thirds majority, I believe in the same outcome now as well.

The statement is a classic piece of internal mobilization propaganda, not intended for debate or analysis.

Key elements:

Making alternatives unthinkable:
It suggests that Magyar Péter and the Tisza Party coming to power is not a realistic option, thereby psychologically closing off further consideration.

Fear-mongering (the “Brussels narrative”):
References to “blackmail,” “immunity,” the “left-wing elite,” and “Brussels dictates” are used to create the impression that any change of government would automatically mean
→ loss of sovereignty
→ loss of security
→ foreign control.

Security = Fidesz:
The current situation is presented as stable and safe, while change is framed as a risk. This is a classic status quo–defense technique.

Internal reassurance and self-justification:
Mentioning previous two-thirds majorities is not evidence but psychological conditioning:
“We’ve seen this before → we will win again.”

Essence:
This is not fact-based argumentation, but a loyalty-reinforcing speech aimed at a closed, friendly audience, where the goal is not persuasion but to ensure that
👉 “you don’t think, you don’t doubt, you stay with us—because the other side is dangerous.”

“What we can see is that everyone is now lining up behind the Tisza Party. There is a madman who defected from Fidesz, called Péter Magyar, whom these old SZDSZ, MSZP, left-wing, tried-and-tested crooks are trying to push in front of themselves as a kind of buffer layer — so that if the result doesn’t turn out the way they expect, they can hide behind him.

And every figure shows this, except for their own activist-operated polling institutes, which claim the Tisza Party is leading by 15 points, 20 points, or who knows how many points.

The reliable numbers clearly show that the governing parties are in the lead.

— Free Hungarians.”

This text attempts to construct a classic smear and relativization narrative against the Tisza Party and Péter Magyar.

The main messages, briefly:

• They claim that support behind the Tisza Party is not genuine, but artificially manufactured.
• They seek to discredit Péter Magyar personally, using extreme, stigmatizing labels (“mentally unstable,” “defector from Fidesz”) in order to present him not as a political alternative, but as a deviant figure.
• The Tisza Party is portrayed as being pushed forward by former SZDSZ, MSZP, and left-wing actors, used as a kind of “buffer layer.”
• The aim is to suggest that if the project fails, the blame can later be shifted onto these “old crooks,” rather than onto the governing system itself.
• Opinion polls are preemptively dismissed as manipulated, with the claim that only “activist polling institutes” show an advantage for Tisza.
• In contrast, by referring to so-called “reliable numbers,” they assert that the governing parties are actually in the lead, implying that every other narrative is a lie.

👉 Essentially:
They do not engage with programs or facts. Instead, they try in advance to delegitimize both the opponent and the data about them, while presenting their own position as “the only reality.”

This is a classic propaganda technique: personal attacks + scapegoating + delegitimizing statistics + the narrative of “we are the only rational voice
