❌ Enough with the theatrics.
Péter Magyar is now pretending that he has nothing to do with what is happening, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy is openly pressuring Hungary over the oil pipeline. Their objective is clear: to put pressure on the country so that a pro-Ukrainian government comes to power in Hungary.
❗ But let’s look at the facts.
Which party’s representatives appeared in the European Parliament wearing T-shirts with the Ukrainian flag and repeatedly voted for banning Russian energy, providing financial support to Ukraine, and accelerating Ukraine’s EU accession? Tisza.
Which party campaigned in favor of Ukraine joining the European Union? Tisza.
Which party’s defense minister candidate shouted “Slava Ukraini”? Tisza.
And which party leader paid tribute at Ukrainian military graves while saying nothing about the forcibly conscripted ethnic Hungarians from Transcarpathia? Again, Tisza.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leadership themselves say that the oil blockade is meant to help “pro-Ukrainian” forces come to power in Hungary.
👉 The difference is simple:
- They would phase out cheap energy.
- We will protect it.
- They answer to Brussels and Kyiv.
- We answer to Hungary.
The stakes are Hungary’s energy security and the livelihood of Hungarian families.
🟠 Fidesz is the safe choice.
Péter Magyar is pretending that he has nothing to do with the Ukrainian pressure we have seen in recent days, while it is clear that they are cooperating with the Ukrainians in order to bring a pro-Ukrainian government to power in Hungary. That is exactly what the Tisza party represents.
So let’s look at the facts about what Péter Magyar and his allies have done so far.
Who was it whose party members sat in the European Parliament wearing Ukrainian-flag T-shirts and openly supported Ukraine?
Whose party voted for abandoning Russian oil and other Russian energy sources in the European Parliament?
Whose party campaigned for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union?
Whose ally repeatedly shouted “Slava Ukraini”?
And who was the party leader who paid tribute at the graves of Ukrainian soldiers while remaining silent when ethnic Hungarians were forcibly conscripted in Transcarpathia?
We know exactly that Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leadership themselves are interested in seeing the next Hungarian prime minister called Péter Magyar.
Why? Because they want Péter Magyar and his allies to lobby for Ukraine’s EU accession by 2027, and they also want Hungary to abandon cheap Russian energy.
We all know what that would mean: the end of utility price reductions.
We continue to stand with Hungarian families, while Péter Magyar and his allies stand with Ukraine.
That is what will be at stake in April.
And that is why Fidesz is the safe choice.
The following text is a classic campaign-style political propaganda message that combines several well-known communication and manipulation techniques. The goal is not primarily factual information, but rather to trigger emotional reactions, strengthen a political camp, and mobilize voters.
🎭 Propaganda and manipulation techniques in the text
1️⃣ Construction of an enemy image (demonization)
Excerpt
“Zelensky is openly blackmailing Hungary.”
“They want to bring a pro-Ukrainian government to power.”
Technique
👉 constructing an external enemy (Ukraine)
👉 assigning an internal enemy (Péter Magyar / Tisza)
Goal
To create the impression that Hungary is under external pressure or attack, and that the opposition is an instrument of that pressure.
Effect
- strong emotional reaction
- defensive political reflex
2️⃣ Guilt by association
Excerpt
“wearing Ukrainian-flag T-shirts in the European Parliament”
“Slava Ukraini”
Technique
👉 linking a political actor to another country through symbolic gestures
Goal
To portray the opponent as serving foreign interests.
Effect
Readers may develop the perception that:
➡️ “they do not represent Hungarian interests.”
3️⃣ Selective examples (cherry-picking)
Excerpt
references to specific European Parliament votes and symbolic gestures
Technique
👉 presenting only examples that support the desired narrative
👉 omitting context and other decisions or votes
Goal
To construct a simple and one-sided political storyline.
Effect
Complex political decisions appear simplified and one-dimensional.
4️⃣ Dramatization of threat
Excerpt
“the country’s energy security and the livelihood of Hungarian families are at stake”
Technique
👉 emphasizing existential danger
Goal
To create the feeling that:
➡️ “if the opposition wins, serious consequences will follow.”
Effect
- fear
- political mobilization
5️⃣ False dilemma (binary framing)
Excerpt
“They would eliminate cheap energy, we will protect it.”
“They answer to Brussels and Kyiv, we answer to Hungary.”
Technique
👉 reducing a complex political choice to two simple options.
Goal
To simplify the decision for voters:
- either the government
- or forces acting against national interests
Effect
Political nuance and complexity disappear.
6️⃣ Repetition (classic propaganda technique)
The second half of the text almost completely repeats the same claims.
Technique
👉 continuous repetition of key messages
Goal
To embed the narrative in the audience’s mind.
Effect
Repeated claims may appear more credible, even without proof.
📊 The simplified narrative behind the propaganda
The communication builds a very simple political framework:
Narrative
➡️ Ukraine = blackmail and threat
➡️ Péter Magyar / Tisza = representatives of Ukrainian interests
➡️ Fidesz = defender of Hungarian families and cheap energy
⚖️ Summary
The text is a typical election campaign message that combines several techniques:
- construction of an external enemy
- linking the political opponent to foreign interests
- dramatization of threat
- simplified binary political choice
- repetition and emotional mobilization
The aim is not to present the complex political situation, but to create an emotionally powerful and easily understandable political narrative.
