The Tisza espionage scandal falls into the most serious category of treason.
It is absolutely astonishing that a Hungarian journalist would go so far as to have their own country’s foreign minister wiretapped. The same Szabolcs Panyi, who himself handed over Péter Szijjártó’s phone number to foreign intelligence services, also spoke about being on very good terms with Anita Orbán, one of the key figures of TISZA.

But there is more. Yesterday it also emerged that even Péter Magyar’s IT specialists were trained in Ukraine, and they regularly visit the Ukrainian embassy.
And what does Péter Magyar do after all this? He stays silent.
He does not say a single word about the entire case. He is not willing to condemn espionage that poses a national security risk—just as he remained silent about the oil blockade.

In April, we must choose a responsible government and its experienced leader, one that can resist all agents and guarantee the security of our country. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!

The Ukrainians are already deeply involved in the Tisza campaign. I don’t know who has heard the latest news. An absolutely astonishing national security scandal has erupted in recent days. I see many of you nodding. For those who may not have heard, in a nutshell: Szabolcs Panyi, a pro-Tisza journalist often described as aligned with Soros, effectively handed over the Hungarian foreign minister’s phone number to foreign intelligence services. What is this, if not the most blatant treason? Handing over your country’s information and security to another country’s services? It is unbelievable.

And what else does Szabolcs Panyi talk about in this leaked audio? That Anita Orbán—who, somehow, is a very close friend of his and with whom he has worked for a long time—is Péter Magyar’s candidate for foreign minister. And Anita Orbán allegedly told him that, if a Tisza government came to power, this journalist would be allowed to look into all kinds of files, documents—everything. Total madness.

In fact, Panyi Szabolcs even went so far as to say that Anita Orbán would consult him—Mr. Panyi—on who should be dismissed from the ministries and who should be retained in order to ensure that the new setup, the new government, would be suitably pro-Ukrainian.

---

⚠️ Key insight (what you’re sensing correctly)

👉 The whole narrative is built on:

• emotional escalation

👉 That’s why it feels like:

“this is too much / over the top”

Because it is.

---

💡 In short (takeaway)

👉 This is a classic campaign message:

• fear-mongering
• enemy construction
• betrayal narrative
• foreign interference
• a single “savior”

➡️ = political mobilization

We believe in the power of love and unity!
We understand that, due to the heightened atmosphere of the campaign, many people hold different views, but we must all agree on one thing: you cannot build either a community or a country on hatred.

We see that the other side is full of hostility, but we must not give up our values.
We are one nation, we are building our country together, and we will continue to live together after April as well.
In 18 days, the Hungarian people will defeat hatred with common sense and cast their votes for the safe choice.

There is such immeasurable hatred within us—yes, that’s true. Directed toward the Prime Minister, as some put it: “it doesn’t matter who, just not Orbán.” That’s what they say. Yes—even with the devil, if necessary. But that’s because they believe things will be better no matter what…

No—they simply cannot imagine what it would be like if things turned out badly. There is such aggression in them, and, how should I put it, such communist methods. There is no limit.

We are not only fighting for our own personal lives to be better, but for this country. We are fighting for them as well, because in the end, we are still one nation. It doesn’t matter who leans which way in the voting booth.

Because if they were to win, it would lead to something like proletarian-style purges and even “lamp-post justice,” more or less.

🧠 Core Narrative:

• We = love, unity, nation, rationality
• They = hatred, aggression, communist methods, destruction
• The election = love vs. hatred
• Fidesz/Orbán = stability, responsibility, protector of the nation
• Opposition = irrational, angry, dangerous crowd

Hidden formula:

moral superiority + enemy construction + fear + national appropriation = political mobilization

---

🔍 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Moral appropriation

Excerpt:

“We believe in the power of love and unity!”
“…you cannot build a community or a country on hatred.”

Technique:

moral framing / claiming moral superiority

Goal:

To present their side as representing love, peace, and morality.

Effect:

In the reader’s mind:

• those with them = good people
• those against them = on the side of hatred

➡️ This is highly effective because it turns politics into a moral judgment, not a debate.

---

2️⃣ “We are peaceful” – while demonizing the other side

Excerpt:

“We see that the other side is only snarling…”

Technique:

apparent calmness + demeaning the opponent

Goal:

To make their side seem civilized and composed, while portraying the opponent as primitive and hateful.

Effect:

No need to prove anything—just use emotionally loaded words:

• snarling
• hateful
• aggressive

➡️ This is negative labeling, not evidence.

---

3️⃣ Appropriation of the nation

Excerpt:

“We are one nation, building our country together…”
“We fight for this homeland… we fight for them as well…”

Technique:

patriotic appropriation / nation = us

Goal:

To equate their political side with the nation itself.

Effect:

Those who disagree are no longer just political opponents, but are framed as people who:

• stand against the nation
• do not build the country
• are not responsible members of the community

➡️ Classic propaganda: the party = the nation, the opponent = threat to national unity.

---

4️⃣ False unity rhetoric

Excerpt:

“We are one nation…”
“…we will live together after April as well!”

Technique:

illusion of unity

Goal:

To appear conciliatory, while consistently portraying the other side as the enemy.

Effect:

On the surface it sounds moderate, but the real message is:

• we are the normal Hungarians
• you are the hateful, dangerous group
• but still “one nation” with us

➡️ This is a fake unity message, not real reconciliation—it’s a top-down moral judgment.

---

5️⃣ Turning the election into a moral panic

Excerpt:

“In 18 days, Hungarians will defeat hatred with common sense…”

Technique:

moralization of voting / monopolizing “common sense”

Goal:

To frame voting for their side as an act of rationality and morality.

Effect:

Anyone voting differently is:

• irrational
• supporting hatred
• on the wrong side

➡️ This shifts the frame from policy debate to:
one side = common sense, the other = hatred

---

6️⃣ Simplifying the opponent’s motivations

Excerpt:

“It doesn’t matter who, just not Orbán…”
“even with the devil if needed”

Technique:

straw man / distortion of the opponent

Goal:

To portray Orbán critics as having no principles or positive goals—only blind hatred.

Effect:

All real reasons for opposition disappear:

• corruption
• economic issues
• institutional decline
• public services
• political style

➡️ Replaced with:
“they just hate.”

---

7️⃣ Fear-based future framing

Excerpt:

“They cannot imagine what it will be like if it turns bad.”
“…if they were to win.”

Technique:

vague catastrophe narrative

Goal:

To mobilize voters through fear rather than hope.

Effect:

Instead of comparing programs, it suggests:

• things will go wrong
• danger will come
• collapse will happen
• aggression will rise

➡️ This works because vague threats let people project their own fears.

“The Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party takes a strong stance on drugs: we support the legalization of cannabis.”

Across Europe, drug use and narcotics are a source of problems, yet the Dog Party and its representatives repeatedly advocate legalization.
Dávid Nagy and his colleagues regularly downplay the short- and long-term risks of marijuana use; their candidate in Csepel spoke about this again recently.

This is something we do not even want to hear about, because we will never allow drugs to consume our children’s future.
In Hungary, there is zero tolerance when it comes to drugs, and as long as the national government remains in power, this will not change. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

Do you think young people need drug legalization? I definitely don’t. There are already serious problems in Europe, and unfortunately drug use is also increasing in Hungary. Yet it seems that supporters of the Dog Party think differently. This is not the first time they have argued in favor of legalization, claiming that cannabis is not dangerous at all, thereby relativizing the risks of marijuana use.

At the recent debate of candidates in Csepel—where, incidentally, only the Tisza candidate was absent—their candidate once again spoke in favor of marijuana use. Here, the Dog Party clearly represents a strong position on drug legalization: “we support the legalization of cannabis.” This would essentially mean that even the most disadvantaged regions and poorest social groups could gain access to quality marijuana.

We, however, want to continue protecting our children from drugs. We believe this is harmful, and that zero tolerance is the only acceptable approach when it comes to drugs.

🧠 Quick snapshot

👉 Main narrative:

“Kutyapárt = drugs = danger to children”
“Legalization = social decline”
“Fidesz = protection, zero tolerance”

👉 Underlying formula:

drugs + children + fear + moral panic → “only we can protect you”

---

🔍 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Creating moral panic (involving children)

👉 “drugs will consume our children’s future”

Technique: emotional escalation + invoking children
Goal: immediate emotional reaction (fear, anger)
Effect: rational debate disappears

➡️ Classic move:
not a policy issue → “child protection”

---

2️⃣ Strawman argument (distortion)

👉 “according to them, it’s not dangerous at all”

Technique: oversimplifying / distorting the opposing position
Goal: make it easier to attack
Effect: avoids engaging with real arguments

➡️ Reality:
legalization ≠ “not dangerous”

---

3️⃣ Black-and-white thinking (false dilemma)

👉 “zero tolerance is the only acceptable option”

Technique: false dilemma
Goal: exclude all middle-ground solutions
Effect: no nuance (e.g. regulation, prevention)

➡️ Yet alternatives exist:

• decriminalization
• regulated market
• public health approach

---

4️⃣ Fear through generalization

👉 “it’s a problem across all of Europe”

Technique: overgeneralization
Goal: amplify perceived threat
Effect: everything seems to be “going wrong”

➡️ Ignores differences in:

• countries
• policy models
• outcomes

---

5️⃣ Conflation (drugs = all drugs)

👉 “drug and narcotic use” → marijuana

Technique: category conflation
Goal: create stronger negative associations
Effect: marijuana = same level as hard drugs

---

6️⃣ Enemy construction + discrediting

👉 “Kutyapárt supporters trivialize it”
👉 “not for the first time”

Technique: delegitimization + repetition
Goal: make them seem unserious
Effect: character attack

---

7️⃣ “We will protect you” (protector framing)

👉 “we want to protect our children”
👉 “zero tolerance will remain”

Technique: savior / protector role
Goal: create a sense of safety → political support
Effect: Fidesz = the only protection

---

8️⃣ Linking it to poverty (subtle framing)

👉 “the poorest groups would gain access”

Technique: fear + social stigma
Goal: create a negative future image
Effect: “this would make things worse”

➡️ Implicit message:
poor people + drugs = danger

---

9️⃣ Repetition (very important)

👉 “not the first time”
👉 “again”
👉 “regularly”

Technique: repetition = illusion of truth
Goal: make it stick
Effect: feels true even without evidence

---

🧩 Deeper communication logic

This text is not really about drugs.

👉 It’s about:

• fear (children, future)
• moral superiority (“we protect”)
• an enemy (Kutyapárt = irresponsible)
• a simplified worldview (good vs bad)

👉 Classic formula:

complex policy issue → moral panic → political choice

---

⚖️ What’s missing (very important)

The text does not talk about:

• regulatory models (e.g. Portugal)
• public health approaches
• reducing the black market
• tax revenue
• control mechanisms

➡️ Only one frame remains:
“legalization = danger”

---

🧠 Summary

This is textbook propaganda:

👉 Main tools:

• fear (children)
• strawman (distorted opponent)
• false dilemma (only zero tolerance)
• category conflation
• savior narrative

👉 Goal:

not to help you understand the issue,
but to make you react emotionally and pick a side

‼️ Ukrainian spy scandal around Péter Magyar’s circle

The intelligence services were dealing with the two IT specialists—whom Tisza propaganda is now covering for—because, according to a report made public by the National Security Committee, the two individuals mentioned in the Direkt36 article, who worked for the Tisza Party, had also carried out work for Ukrainians.

They reportedly provided their training, had traveled to Kyiv, and were frequent visitors to the Ukrainian embassy in Budapest.

Let’s go through what happened:

In July 2025, a report was submitted to the National Media and Infocommunications Authority, stating that there was suspicion of child pornography related to the two individuals mentioned in the Direkt36 article. Following this, authorities conducted house searches, during which data storage devices and unauthorized military equipment were seized.

The police currently suspect them of illegal possession of controlled military equipment.

But what exactly is “military equipment”?

Let me explain:

In practice, this refers to surveillance devices, which were allegedly intended to be used in the interest of the Tisza Party or Ukrainians.

These individuals are currently being defended by a former employee of the National Bureau of Investigation (NNI), who has since left his career and entered politics. That’s on him…

Ukrainians are reportedly moving in and out around Tisza, and either they allow it or don’t even notice it—both are equally concerning.

In times of danger, such people must not be allowed near the helm of government. On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice!

🧠 Quick overview

👉 Main message:

• “Tisza = national security threat + Ukrainian connection + crime”
• “Fidesz = safety”

👉 Underlying formula:
fear + scandal + crime + foreign actors → “don’t take the risk”

---

🔍 Why it feels overwhelming (specifically)

1️⃣ Multiple shocking topics merged together

• “Ukrainian spy”
• “child pornography”
• “military equipment”
• “wiretapping”

👉 Technique: information overload + shock stacking
👉 Goal: prevent separate evaluation → it feels like one huge, serious case
👉 Effect: mental fatigue, disgust, anxiety

---

2️⃣ Unproven claims presented as facts

• “they worked for Ukrainians”
• “trained in Kyiv”
• “wiretapping for Tisza”

👉 Technique: assertion → presented as fact without evidence
👉 Goal: discourage questioning
👉 Reality: these are not proven within the text

---

3️⃣ Guilt by association

2 IT specialists → Tisza Party → Ukraine → “spy network”

👉 Technique: inflating a connection chain
👉 Goal: turn an individual case into a political threat
👉 Effect: “everyone is involved”

---

4️⃣ Reframing of concepts

• “military equipment” = “wiretapping devices” (assumption!)

👉 Technique: meaning expansion / suggestion
👉 Goal: make it sound more severe
👉 Problem: this is not a definition, but speculation

---

5️⃣ Fear-based conclusion

• “age of danger”
• “must not be allowed into government”

👉 Technique: existential threat + political direction
👉 Goal: emotional decision → “vote this way”

---

🧩 What is the core problem with the text?

👉 It mixes together:

• a possible criminal case
• a journalistic article
• a political party
• and a foreign country

👉 Then turns them into one single narrative, as if it were proven.

---

🧠 Why it creates a “nausea / overload” feeling

Because it simultaneously triggers:

• fear (spying, surveillance)
• disgust (child pornography)
• uncertainty (intelligence services)
• anger (foreign interference)

👉 This is deliberate emotional overstimulation

---

⚖️ In short (clear version)

👉 This is not a set of proven facts, but:

• insinuations
• connections
• a narrative amplified with heavy wording

👉 Goal:
not to inform, but to influence

Right now, Hungarians are paying the lowest utility costs in Europe, and our fuel prices are also among the lowest. But if the Tisza Party were to come to power, that would come to an end.

Utility prices would triple, and fuel would cost 1,000 forints per liter.

This would not only affect motorists, but would also drive up food prices, among other things.

With the national government, we want Hungarians to benefit economically as much as possible, and for that, it is necessary to maintain access to cheap Russian energy.

We will protect the energy security of Hungarian families, but this requires that we all place our trust in the national government.

Fidesz is the safe choice!

If a Tisza government came to power, we would have to move away from cheap Russian energy. Just look at fuel prices in other European countries where they do not have access to Ural-type Russian crude oil—what prices do they pay there? And this is not just a problem for motorists.

When I go into a store to buy a loaf of bread, that price also includes energy costs and transportation costs. So prices would rise.

This is not just a theoretical or moral issue—although it is that too—but a very real, practical issue affecting people’s wallets.

The question is whether we stay on the path that is economically beneficial for Hungarians, because that is all that matters to us—what is best for Hungarians.

Right now, and in the foreseeable future, it is clearly in our interest—since we do not really have many alternatives—to provide Hungarian families and industry with the cheapest possible Russian energy, rather than seeking other options.

This is one of the key points of debate with the Tisza Party.

For us, the energy security of the Hungarian people comes first!

As Viktor Orbán announced, we will halt gas shipments from Hungary to Ukraine.
We have two compelling reasons for this.

The first is that Ukraine has been maintaining an oil blockade against Hungary for more than a month.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in coordination with Péter Magyar, is continuing to try to influence the elections by jeopardizing the energy security of Hungarian families.

Despite this, the government has introduced a protected fuel price, so we do not have to pay more when refueling.

The second reason is that Hungary must build up reserves, as Ukraine is not only blocking our oil supply but is also continuously attacking the southern gas pipeline supplying Hungary with drones.

We will not allow Zelenskyy and his allies to continue blackmailing us. We stand with Hungarian families and will ensure their energy supply!

Only Fidesz is the safe choice!

---

The Prime Minister reported that we are halting gas shipments from Hungary toward Ukraine. We have two good reasons for this.

The first is that Ukraine has now been blocking crude oil shipments coming to us through Ukraine for more than a month—almost two. Despite this, we introduced a protected price domestically, so everyone can continue refueling at a safe and reasonable price. But let’s admit, this is not a very fair move from the Ukrainians.

The second reason is that we are stopping gas deliveries toward Ukraine because we also need to build up reserves. Quite simply, because on the one hand, Ukraine had already previously shut off Russian gas that reached us through their territory. On the other hand, they have started attacking the TurkStream pipeline with drones—not for the first time—which is another key route through which gas arrives in Hungary.

Therefore, we cannot be certain that if we continue supplying gas to Ukraine, Hungary’s energy security would remain adequately ensured.

Accordingly, we have chosen the Hungarian people and their energy security. That is why the government has decided to halt gas shipments to Ukraine.

For us, the energy security of Hungarian people and the protection of Hungarian families come first—even if Ukraine does not like it.

🧠 Quick overview (why this triggers such a reaction)

• there is danger
• but everything is stable

👉 At the same time:

• they are blackmailing us
• but we are cutting off gas

👉 At the same time:

• war-level threat
• but framed as a campaign message

➡️ This is what the brain rejects

🧠 Why your reaction is so strong

Because you:

• notice the contradictions
• recognize the manipulation
• and see it presented with confidence and moral superiority

👉 Combined effect:
= cringe + anger + disgust

🧩 In short (concise summary)

This text follows a classic formula:

👉 external enemy
👉 internal traitor
👉 fear (energy, war)
👉 “we will protect you”
👉 “only we are the solution”

❌ No matter how hard they try to interfere in the Hungarian elections, we will not allow it!

The oil blockade and the Tisza “agent scandal” ultimately point to the same thing: they want to replace the national government that safeguards Hungary’s sovereignty. Tisza would form a pro-Ukrainian government that would detach from cheap Russian energy.

🚨 Let there be no doubt: this is something represented by Péter Magyar’s MEP, who voted for it in the European Parliament, and István Kapitány has also stated it openly. However, this would mean triple utility costs and fuel prices of 1,000 forints for Hungarians.

But we will not allow either Ukraine or the Brussels elite to interfere in Hungarian elections. The national government stands up for Hungarian interests—we will protect utility price reductions and preserve peace!

🟠 That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!

Because both issues are about sovereignty—whether we Hungarians can decide what is good for us and represent that, or whether the country must operate according to foreign interests. That is precisely why they are trying to interfere in Hungarian elections, even using intelligence tools, and why there is an oil blockade against Hungary. Ukraine and the Brussels political elite are interested in undermining the sovereign Hungarian policy that says we will buy energy from whoever offers it at the lowest price—thereby protecting reduced utility costs and keeping fuel prices affordable.

They want to challenge this policy. The oil blockade itself is also about interfering in Hungarian elections, effectively trying to blackmail us during the campaign period, hoping to replace the current sovereign government with a pro-Ukrainian one represented by Tisza—one that would give up Russian oil and gas.

This is in Ukraine’s interest, as it is at war with Russia and seeks to cut off all Russian resources. However, it is not in Hungary’s interest. We should be clear: if what Tisza’s leading politicians advocate were to happen—what István Kapitány has said about abandoning Russian energy, what Péter Magyar’s MEP voted for three weeks ago in the European Parliament (to phase out all Russian energy), and what will be brought back onto the agenda in Brussels on April 15—then Hungarian families would face triple utility costs and fuel prices around 1,000 forints.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Foreign actors (Ukraine + Brussels) are interfering in the election”
👉 “Tisza = serving foreign interests”
👉 “Energy = a question of sovereignty”
👉 “If not Fidesz → drastic price increases (1000 HUF fuel, 3x utilities)”

👉 “1000 HUF fuel”
👉 “3x utility costs”

Technique: shock numbers
Goal: trigger immediate emotional reaction
Effect: panic → reaction instead of thinking

➡️ What you feel (“disgust/nausea”) is a deliberately triggered response

---

4️⃣ False cause-and-effect

👉 “leaving Russian energy = instant 1000 HUF fuel”

Technique: oversimplified causal chain
Goal: explain a complex market in one sentence
Effect: sounds believable because it’s simple

➡️ Reality:
energy prices are shaped by global markets, geopolitics, taxes, exchange rates, and regulation

---

5️⃣ Sovereignty as a total framing

👉 “we decide or they decide”

Technique: false dilemma
Goal: present only two options
Effect: removes nuance and middle ground

➡️ Reality:
EU membership and energy policy are based on negotiation and compromise, not binary choices

---

6️⃣ Repetition and overloading

👉 the same message repeated over and over:

• oil
• sovereignty
• Ukrainians
• utilities
• 1000 HUF

Technique: repetition = illusion of truth
Effect: “if it’s repeated this much, it must be true”

---

🧩 Your Point (very important)

👉 “Fuel is not 1000 HUF anywhere else”
👉 “If it rises → it’s due to global factors (e.g. war)”

This aligns much more with real economic logic.

➡️ Fuel prices depend on:

• global oil prices
• refining capacity
• taxes
• exchange rates
• geopolitics (e.g. Middle East, Iran)

—not on a single political party’s decision.

🧠 Short, raw summary

👉 Combines separate issues into one “attack narrative”
👉 Builds a foreign enemy + internal traitor
👉 Uses extreme numbers to shock
👉 Not outright provable lies, but exaggerated and manipulative
👉 Offers only one solution: “only us”

❗ The Tisza agent scandal is yet another piece of evidence that the left is trying to come to power by colluding with Brussels and Kyiv.

This is an entirely unprecedented case in Hungarian history: an individual calling himself a journalist not only contributed to the surveillance of the foreign minister, but actually handed over phone numbers himself.

🗣️ Moreover, on an audio recording, Szabolcs Panyi admitted that he has close ties to Anita Orbán—whom Péter Magyar has not been willing to condemn in a single word for what happened, nor remove from the stage.

They remain deeply silent. But what should we really expect, when even their IT specialists are trained in Ukraine and are familiar with even the smallest corners of the Ukrainian embassy?

❌ It is clear that within TISZA, only Zelensky’s orders can prevail, as they are simply incapable of saying no to demands. Wiretapping, agents, and scandals piling on top of each other—that is the left.

That is why in April we must place our trust in a government that resists spies and guarantees the security of our country. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

In Hungary’s modern democracy, it has never happened that someone—an individual calling himself a journalist—would contribute to the surveillance of the Hungarian foreign minister, thereby seriously endangering national security and, ultimately, the safety of every Hungarian citizen.

What makes this even more serious is that this person is in very close contact with the Tisza Party, which is preparing to govern. Since this information came to light, Péter Magyar has not provided a single sentence of explanation, has not distanced himself from it, and has not parted ways with Anita Orbán—he has remained completely silent.

And then there is the additional information: at yesterday’s session of the National Security Committee, it emerged that Tisza Party IT specialists received training in Ukraine and practically move in and out of the Ukrainian embassy.

So if, after all this, someone still does not see what forces stand behind the Tisza Party—namely Brussels and Ukraine, both working to replace Hungary’s sovereign government with a pro-Ukrainian one—then I don’t know what more would be needed.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Szabolcs Panyi = agent / part of a wiretapping case”
👉 “Tisza = a network controlled by foreign actors (Ukraine, Brussels)”
👉 “The opposition = a national security risk”
👉 “Fidesz = the only protection”

👉 Classic formula: betrayal + foreign interference + fear + savior

---

🧠 The Real Issue (as you also point out)

👉 The claims are not proven, but instead based on:

• insinuations
• connections
• “I heard that…” type arguments

👉 Meanwhile:

• a journalist’s job = gathering and publishing information
• this is not the same as participating in wiretapping

➡️ Key point: journalism ≠ operational involvement

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Labeling (agent)

👉 “an agent who calls himself a journalist”

Technique: stigmatization
Goal: discredit without evidence
Effect: the reader no longer sees a journalist, but an “enemy”

---

2️⃣ Guilt by association

👉 “he is connected to X → therefore he is part of it”

Technique: associative guilt
Goal: replace evidence with connections
Effect: connection creates the appearance of guilt

---

3️⃣ Claims without evidence

👉 “contributed to wiretapping”, “handed over phone numbers”

Technique: assertion without proof
Goal: present unverified claims as facts
Effect: the reader doesn’t question it (“it must be true”)

---

4️⃣ Conspiracy chain building

👉 Panyi → Tisza → Ukraine → Brussels → Zelensky

Technique: chained association
Goal: construct a large, all-encompassing narrative
Effect: creates the feeling that “everything is connected”

---

5️⃣ Fear framing (national security)

👉 “endangers the security of all Hungarians”

Technique: existential threat framing
Goal: trigger emotional response (fear)
Effect: reduces critical thinking

---

6️⃣ Silence = guilt framing

👉 “he didn’t respond → therefore he is guilty”

Technique: false inference
Goal: turn lack of evidence into “proof”
Effect: whatever happens → interpreted negatively

---

7️⃣ Imitation of intelligence credibility

👉 “National Security Committee”, “report”, “training in Ukraine”

Technique: appeal to authority
Goal: create the appearance of seriousness and credibility
Effect: the reader does not demand evidence

---

🧩 Key Logical Flaw

👉 What is implied:

“he wrote about it / is connected → therefore he participated in it”

👉 Reality:

• a journalist gathers information
• talks to sources
• publishes

➡️ This does not prove operational involvement

---

⚖️ Short, Clear Counter-Narrative

👉 “The fact that a journalist gathers and publishes information does not mean they participated in any intelligence or wiretapping operation. These accusations are built on unproven claims and loose associations rather than evidence.”
