People are even coming home from Norway to vote!! We all need to be there! Hungary’s independence and the wallets of Hungarian families are at stake!
So meanwhile, the new hit song is spreading — Attila Gelencsér’s campaign song, “Zselic Has Turned Green” — and at the same time, a letter arrived from Norway. “We will travel home from Norway to Tatabánya to vote for Fidesz. We would really like to receive a Fidesz mug, or any item that the signers could win by spinning the wheel. In North Pest, we had a prize wheel where people could play while chatting, and participants won small Fidesz gifts. Even if you don’t send anything, I will remain a Fidesz supporter. Go Fidesz! I hope you win.” — this is how the letter ends.
Have a safe journey home from Norway to Tatabánya. On April 12, we will surely meet in spirit in the voting booths, and of course the mug will be sent to Tatabánya — because with this government and with Fidesz, everyone wins, including you.

❗ The situation is clear—not only here at home, but also in Brussels and Kyiv. Everyone knows that two completely different worlds are facing each other.
One side would do anything on Brussels’ orders: they would take away the support provided by the national government, burden Hungarians with extra costs, and drag Hungary into war.
🇭🇺 We, on the other hand, stand for the interests, peace, and security of the Hungarian people, in opposition to the will of Brussels. And since they have not been able to break us over the past years—neither through pressure nor blackmail—they are now turning to new tools.
They are doing everything they can to interfere in the Hungarian elections. What we have seen in recent weeks is all about that.
🟠 The stakes are simple: either we preserve our right to decide our own future, or we allow others to dictate how we should live.
Because if they couldn’t defeat us over the past 16 years—if no amount of pressure or scheming could bring us down—then their master plan is simply to remove us. If necessary, by interfering in Hungarian elections.
Everything you have seen in recent weeks and months has been about one thing: foreign actors trying to influence your decision. They want to take away your right to decide what kind of country you want to live in.
When Volodymyr Zelenskyy shuts off the Druzhba oil pipeline and places Hungary under an oil blockade—not for technical reasons, but as a political decision—it is, in my view, clearly about influencing Hungarian elections.
And when reports emerge about gold and large cash convoys crossing Hungary, and a former Ukrainian intelligence officer claims that this is Zelenskyy’s “black money,” from which billions allegedly reach Péter Magyar and his allies every week—then again, this narrative is about foreign interference in Hungary’s elections.
At Easter, many of us set off to visit our families and relatives we haven’t seen in a long time, and many also attend gatherings with friends. Some people may even drive up to a thousand kilometers over the four days of the holiday, so it really matters how much we pay for fuel.
Fuel prices have skyrocketed across Europe due to the wars, and Hungary is also affected by the Ukrainian oil blockade. Yet we won’t have to pay huge amounts during our Easter travels, because thanks to the government, we can refuel at protected prices—the cheapest in Europe. Right now, we pay 595 forints per liter of petrol, but without the protected price and cheap Russian energy, fuel prices could rise to as much as 1,000 forints per liter.
If TISZA were in government this Easter, we would have to dig much deeper into our pockets, as their energy plan would cut Hungary off from cheap Russian crude oil. And this is just one holiday weekend—just imagine that over the course of a month, an average Hungarian family would pay 48,000 forints more per month on fuel alone.
But we will not allow Hungarians to be made to pay for the war, nor will we allow foreign oil companies to profit at the expense of Hungarian families! We stand for low fuel prices. Next Sunday, Fidesz is the safe choice!
❗️Suburban (i.e. mostly immigrant) youths are rioting in London. This will not end well!
Due to the emerging brutal European energy crisis and the domestic campaign, it has barely made the news here—but it is still important: a teenage uprising has broken out in London.
(Here at home, “rebellious” young people criticize Fidesz out of boredom / because they have it too good / because it’s fashionable / for no reason. In London, meanwhile, they are rampaging in the streets. We’re still better off😉)
The center of the unrest was in South London, around Clapham High Street (if you search for the street name on social media, you’ll find plenty of videos).
❗️Young people, mostly between the ages of 13 and 18, looted s

🧩 Summary
This text is a classic fear-based campaign message, where:
👉 a foreign event is exaggerated 👉 an enemy is constructed 👉 and then linked to a domestic political decision
➡️ Real goal: not to inform, but to trigger emotional reactions and influence voting behavior
☝️ It is increasingly being reported in more and more places that several Tisza candidates may step down, including Anna Müller in North Pest, who is performing very poorly in the opposition’s internal race against DK’s Balázs Barkóczi. This would be particularly bad news for North Pest and the patriots living here, because it would make it very difficult to defeat Balázs Barkóczi. 9 days to go! Go North Pest! Go Fidesz! 🇭🇺✌️
This is bad news for Fidesz and for the patriots of North Pest—I’m honestly not calm about it. In recent days, it’s been reported more and more often that Anna Müller—my fellow Tisza candidate, I won’t call her my opponent because my real opponent is Balázs Barkóczi—might be one of those Tisza candidates stepping down in the final days.
And unfortunately, this would mean that, as we know, pro-Brussels voters are in the majority in Budapest. If opposition votes are not split between the strong DK candidate Balázs Barkóczi and the weaker Tisza candidate Anna Müller, then I have no chance of winning the individual mandate. I only have a chance if Tisza takes some votes away from Barkóczi.
And indeed, we are seeing this in more and more places—we’ll show a few examples here—that Anna Müller could be one of the Tisza candidates stepping down. From Kyiv’s or Brussels’ perspective, this might be a logical move, but from the perspective of North Pest, it would be nothing short of a tragedy if Balázs Barkóczi remained a Member of Parliament for another four years.
In any case, we are still campaigning as if there is a chance for a patriotic victory in North Pest—although, of course, in the final four days we will campaign in a more restrained manner. I’ll include below the latest figures from the North Pest election barometer. This still does not include Péter Magyar’s alleged violent sex scandal. A new barometer will be released on Sunday—I’m curious to see whether there will be any change as a result of that scandal.

⚠️ Overall picture (short)
This is a classic campaign message that:
relies on rumors
creates fear
pushes toward tactical voting

simplifies reality
👉 Real goal:
not to inform, but to ➡️ influence behavior (how you vote)
💥 Key sentence (essence)
👉 “What matters is not who represents what — but how the votes are distributed.”
With the introduction of the Tisza energy plan, every Hungarian family would have to dig deep into their pockets. By cutting off Russian energy, utility bills would increase 2.5 times, and with the removal of price caps, fuel costs would rise by 48,600 forints per month. Altogether, this would mean an extra one million forints per year for an average household under Tisza’s energy plan.
🟠 The national government is capable of preserving reduced utility costs and regulated prices. Let’s not take risks! On April 12, Fidesz is the safe choice!
What would this Tisza-style energy plan look like? Well, it would look something like this: if there is no Russian energy, then there is no utility cost reduction. You don’t have to look far for examples—just take a look at the Czech Republic or Poland. There, annual utility costs for a family are around 800,000 to 900,000 forints, even up to 1 million. In Hungary, the average annual household utility cost is around 250,000 forints.
So anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to vote for Tisza should start putting money into an envelope right now as I’m speaking. Go ahead and put about 700–750 thousand forints into that envelope.
Then let’s go a bit further and see what happens if there is no Russian crude oil and market prices must be paid for petrol and diesel. Right now, you would only have to pay a little more—but if we completely cut it off, just look at Western countries. Fuel prices there can reach 1,000 forints per liter. So let’s calmly calculate with a price of 1,000 forints per liter.
🧠 Quick Overview
👉 Main narrative:
“TISZA = brutal financial loss” “without Russian energy = collapse” “Fidesz = protection + affordable living” “election = survival of your wallet”
👉 Underlying formula: specific numbers + fear + simplification + repetition → “if you don’t vote for them → you will suffer financially”
🔍 Manipulation Techniques
1️⃣ Financial fearmongering (fear framing)
👉 Excerpt:
“2.5x utility costs” “+48,600 HUF/month” “+1 million HUF/year” “put 700–750 thousand HUF in an envelope”
Szabolcs Panyi colluded with Péter Magyar and three foreign intelligence services.
Another outrageous audio recording has been made public about the “journalist” agent who also wiretapped Péter Szijjártó!
The bomb has exploded again: Szabolcs Panyi also coordinated with Péter Magyar regarding foreign interference! The Soros-linked journalist no longer even denies how he is scheming. The self-proclaimed journalist agent is not working with just one, but specifically three foreign intelligence services in order to bring a pro-Ukraine government to power in Hungary.
Szabolcs Panyi is not only working together with Anita Orbán, TISZA’s globalist foreign minister candidate, but also held extensive discussions with Péter Magyar about how materials obtained from intelligence services could be used in the final phase of the campaign.
It is now clearly visible what we have been hearing for weeks and months: TISZA has been completely infiltrated by Ukrainian and other foreign intelligence services. No matter how Péter Magyar denies it, his own associate has exposed him. Just imagine—if such a person came to power, how could he possibly say no to the world of agents and spies, or to orders from Brussels and Kyiv…
If TISZA were to form a government, nothing would stand in the way of financing the war or continuing it, and we could also say goodbye to cheap utility costs.
Without cheap energy, they would immediately abolish the protected fuel price—which ensures some of the lowest fuel prices in Europe—as well as the utility price cuts, causing every Hungarian family to lose up to 1 million forints per year.
We cannot allow a pro-Ukraine government to replace a national one! We will not let Hungarian people be stripped of their money, and we stand for low utility costs—this is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!

👉 Main narrative:
“journalist = intelligence agent”
Magyar Péter = under foreign influence
“TISZA = national security risk”
“election = sovereignty vs. foreign control”
👉 Underlying formula:
conspiracy + character assassination + fear + financial threat + political closure → “be afraid → become distrustful → vote for ‘protection’”
🔍 What is actually happening here?
1️⃣ Conspiracy framing
👉 Excerpt: “colluded with three foreign intelligence services”
👉 Technique:
specific number (3) → illusion of credibility
but:
no evidence
no services named
👉 Goal: ➡️ “this is not politics → this is a national security threat”
👉 Reality: ➡️ not a proven claim, but suggestion + dramatization
2️⃣ Reality inversion
👉 Key point:
Panyi Szabolcs 👉 exposed the Pegasus-ügy
👉 What the text does: ➡️ portrays him as an intelligence agent
👉 Technique:
“the one who exposed → becomes the culprit”
👉 Goal:
➡️ destroy credibility ➡️ “don’t trust those who revealed something”
👉 This is one of the strongest manipulations in the text.
3️⃣ Smear campaign (character assassination)
👉 Keywords:
“agent”
“Soros-linked”
“scheming”
👉 Technique:
labeling without evidence
moral discrediting
👉 Goal:
➡️ don’t think about the content ➡️ form a negative image of the person
4️⃣ Guilt by association
👉 Excerpt:
“with Magyar Péter”
“Anita Orbán”
“foreign services”
👉 Technique:
linking multiple actors → building the image of a “network”
👉 Goal:
➡️ “everyone is part of something”
👉 Effect:
➡️ paranoid system narrative (“they are infiltrated”)
5️⃣ Fake urgency (evidence-free “explosion”)
👉 Excerpt:
“new audio recording”, “the bomb has exploded”
👉 Technique:
sensational framing
but no:
source
content
verifiability
👉 Goal:
➡️ urgency + emotional shock ➡️ “no time to verify”
6️⃣ Enemy framing (external threat)
👉 Excerpt:
“Ukrainian”
“Brussels”
“foreign intelligence services”
👉 Technique:
external actors = unified threat
👉 Goal:
➡️ “not just opponents → enemies”
7️⃣ Fear escalation

“financing the war”
“continuing the war”
👉 Technique:
political choice → framed as life-or-death issue
👉 Goal:
➡️ existential fear
8️⃣ Financial fear framing

➡️ simplify decision-making
🔟 Political closure (call to action)
👉 Excerpt:
“only Fidesz is the safe choice”
👉 Technique:
fear → solution
👉 Classic formula:
➡️ “problem → panic → savior”
⚠️ The key contradiction
👉 Logic of the text:
“journalist = intelligence agent”
“he leaked materials”
👉 But:
the Pegasus-ügy revealed that ➡️ journalists were targets of surveillance
👉 So:
➡️ the same person is portrayed as both:
“surveilled”
and “surveilling”
👉 This is a logical contradiction, but it works emotionally.
Politico reported that there is strong confidence within the EU in the victory of Péter Magyar, as they want a pro-Ukraine government in Hungary. It is not surprising that they are hoping for this, since Péter Magyar would not say no to any demands coming from Brussels or Kyiv.
However, I suggest they take a look at how many people attended each stop of Viktor Orbán’s nationwide tour! Hungarians do not want a pro-Ukraine government imposed on them—they want peace and freedom.
That is why Fidesz will win on April 12!
Hi Andra! Hello! Politico wrote that the European Union would like to see a pro-Ukraine government in Hungary and that they are hopeful about Péter Magyar. Well, I understand their optimism, because they can reasonably expect that if Péter Magyar came to power, he would be pro-Ukraine.
What I don’t understand, however, is their optimism if they look around and see how many people are attending Viktor Orbán’s nationwide tour. Based on that, I think Péter Magyar will have no chance on April 12.
👉 Main narrative:
“EU = external interference” (European Union)
“Magyar Péter = pro-Ukraine” (Magyar Péter)
“Fidesz = popular will + majority” (Fidesz)
“Election = national will vs. external forces”
👉 Hidden formula: external enemy + assumption + crowd effect + emotional closure → “they want it → we don’t → therefore we will win”
🔍 What is actually happening here?
1️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)
👉 Excerpt: “The EU wants a pro-Ukrainian government in Hungary”
👉 Technique:
a complex institution (European Union) is presented as a single, intentional actor
It is shocking to see the level of hostility already driving the left. Together with Csilla Fazekas, we have heard several such stories; most recently, a man told us that even while commuting, he overheard passengers saying, “Why hasn’t Viktor Orbán been shot yet?”
It is unacceptable that public discourse has sunk to this level, and the hateful rhetoric of Péter Magyar has also set an example for this.
Let us remain calm and not be intimidated by this outrage. We stand with Viktor Orbán, a stable and composed leader who is capable of saying no to any foreign interference in order to protect Hungarian interests. Fidesz is the only safe choice!
I was on my way home on the suburban railway (HÉV), and I heard two women—just ordinary people—talking about why Viktor Orbán hasn’t been shot yet. I heard it with my own ears. So this isn’t some kind of conspiracy theory. I was truly shocked hearing this from our own side. That’s not what I ever wanted to say. That they should shoot Péter Magyar, or… Yes, yes. I would never say anything like that, no matter what kind of opposition content I watch.
👉 Main narrative:
“opposition = hatred, violence”
“public discourse = has reached a dangerous level”
