The DK and Tisza are dangerous ❗️ They have made a pact with Brussels and Kyiv and want to bring a pro-Ukraine government to power.

What are the experiences of the past few days? I can only say positive things. Lots of smiles, encouragement, support — we collected a great number of signatures. A few sharp looks, one or two head shakes, and a couple of DK and Tisza supporters who tried to provoke and argue, but we handled them.

I even received some “gifts.” Yesterday I got a Barkóczi Balázs pen — he is Brussels’ number one candidate in North Pest — from DK supporters. And today I received a Tisza sticker. They’re cute and kind, but you must not vote for them because they are dangerous. They would align with the Brussels mainstream and drag Hungary into war. Both parties support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union — it would cost us a fortune — and they are not bothered even if Hungary is cut off from cheap Russian energy.

In that case, the utility price cuts would be finished, fuel prices would rise above 1,000 forints, and the Hungarian economy would be devastated. So not them — Fidesz is the safe choice.

Narrative:
“Brussels–Kyiv pact + drift toward war + economic collapse → Fidesz as the only safe choice”

Actors:
Barkóczi Balázs
Demokratikus Koalíció
Tisza Párt
Fidesz

Structure: Technique – Goal – Effect


1️⃣ External Conspiracy Narrative – “They made a pact with Brussels and Kyiv”

📌 Technique:

  • Referring to external forces (“Brussels,” “Kyiv”).
  • Use of the word “pact” → suggests a secret agreement.
  • Questioning the sovereignty of opposition parties.

🎯 Goal:

To transform the election from a domestic political debate into a sovereignty issue:
“Hungarian interests vs. foreign interests.”

💥 Effect:

The audience evaluates loyalty rather than policy programs.


2️⃣ Existential Fear Appeal – “war danger,” “the economy would collapse”

📌 Technique:

  • Dramatic language: “drag the country into war,” “we’d lose everything,” “the economy would be ruined.”
  • Introducing a concrete number: “fuel would rise above 1,000 forints.”
  • Oversimplified causal chain (EU accession → energy cutoff → economic collapse).

🎯 Goal:

To activate security concerns among undecided voters.

💥 Effect:

The political debate shifts from rational policy discussion to emotional terrain (fear, loss aversion).


3️⃣ “Friendly but Dangerous” Framing

📌 Technique:

  • Apparent goodwill: “they’re nice, kind.”
  • Immediate contrast: “but dangerous.”
  • Moral dichotomy: kindness ≠ responsibility.

🎯 Goal:

To delegitimize the opponent without appearing openly aggressive.

💥 Effect:

Listeners may think: “They’re not personal enemies, but they pose a risk.”


4️⃣ Energy Security Panic – “They would cut Hungary off from cheap Russian energy”

📌 Technique:

  • Presenting cheap energy as a tool of national survival.
  • Utility price caps framed as an identity-defining policy.
  • Simple causal model: opposition → energy cutoff → price explosion.

🎯 Goal:

To mobilize economic anxieties.

💥 Effect:

Voters approach the political choice through everyday cost-of-living concerns.


5️⃣ Positive Self-Framing – “Lots of smiles and support”

📌 Technique:

  • Reinforcing the speaker’s own camp.
  • Creating a “we are the majority” atmosphere.
  • Impression of overwhelming public backing.

🎯 Goal:

To generate a bandwagon effect (people prefer to side with the perceived winner).

💥 Effect:

Undecided voters may gravitate toward the “safe” and seemingly dominant option.


📌 Overall Picture

This communication pattern simultaneously uses:

  • An external enemy image
  • Existential fear appeals
  • Economic alarmism
  • Moral loyalty framing
  • Self-legitimization as the “safe choice”

The core message is not about policy details, but this:

“The other side is risk. We are safety.”

Balázska is lying.

There is no war! There is no war! This is what the Tisza supporters keep repeating. But there is! And Brussels, along with Kyiv, wants to drag Hungary into it as well! That’s why they want a change of government.

“There won’t be a war. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. There’s no need to fear war.” Like robots, the Tisza supporters keep repeating: there is no war, there is no war, there is no war. But there is. And it’s right next door. They just refuse to acknowledge it because that’s the order coming from Brussels.

The war is happening in our neighborhood, and Hungary would have already been dragged into it if the prime minister were not called Viktor Orbán. And now the oil has been shut off precisely to stir unrest and dissatisfaction in Hungary — hoping they can topple the national government and bring to power a Tisza government that has already made a pact with Brussels and Kyiv.

Let’s not allow it.

To tie political stability to one specific figure.

🔁 repetitive caricature
⚠️ existential fear activation

🚨 “There is no war, there is no war, there is no war” – no matter how much Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz from Tisza keeps repeating this, all we have to do is look around the world to see what a huge lie it is. Brussels leaders are making statement after statement about sending troops to Ukraine and preparing for war by 2030. It sounds insane, but this is reality.

The Tisza politicians are already disregarding Hungarian interests and repeating the same lines as their bosses in Brussels and Kyiv: that weapons and as much money as possible should be sent to Ukraine, and that we should get involved in the war.

👉 All of this is supported by Péter Magyar and his allies while Ukraine is continuously blackmailing us — with threatening remarks and by refusing to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline. So whose side are they really on?

“There is no war, there is no war, there is no war, there is no war — don’t you get it? Who are you, Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz? This stupid war topic always comes up. There’s no need to fear war. There is no war, there is no war, there is no war.”

Well, in our view, one only needs to look around the world to see the unfortunate fact that there is a war. Ukraine wants more. Some European countries have indicated that, if requested, they are ready to contribute even with troops. And it is also an unfortunate fact that the forces we are fighting against here in Hungary represent the position that Ukraine should be given weapons and money. But first and foremost, there is the €90 billion European Union loan. And they would even involve Hungary in the war.

It is particularly outrageous given that the Ukrainians no longer frame their demands as requests for support or for EU accession, but as outright blackmail — since they are unwilling to reopen the Druzhba oil pipeline. Today they received a firm response from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He called on them to change their anti-Hungarian policy. More respect for Hungary!

As long as there is a national government, we will protect Hungary’s energy supply and stay out of the war.

🟠 That is why Fidesz is the safe choice!

Meeting the hate-blinded Tisza hard core in North Pest! According to them, there is no war and Weber is not Péter Magyar’s boss. According to us, the situation is clear: if a Brussels puppet government comes to power, Hungary will collapse under it.

Let me ask you something: if this huge wartime emergency really appears, where is the oil around here in the region? Just tell me, please! If it weren’t for the Orbán government, it would be worth thinking from that perspective. As long as there is a national government, there will be no war.

Have you seen that Péter Magyar reached an agreement in Munich with Weber and the others to shut off Russian oil and push Hungary into the war? It’s life-threatening. The lucky thing is that the Fidesz majority will save even the Tisza supporters from the war.

You know that Manfred Weber is Péter Magyar’s boss — he is the leader of the European People’s Party, and Tisza sits in that party. What did Manfred Weber say? What did he say yesterday? He said that European young people should go and serve as soldiers in Ukraine.

That’s the real problem.

I’m glad we met. I wasn’t expecting it either.

Bálint Barkóczi supports Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, the continuation of the war, and the cutoff of cheap Russian energy on Brussels’ orders. That is why he must not be elected in North Pest.

Doesn’t he accept it? That’s exactly what they wanted to prove. No, thank you. We are in Káposztásmegyer, and the DK members are here. Balázs Barkóczi is here as well, Brussels’ number one candidate in North Pest. I brought him a military helmet. I will confront him with the fact that he wants to serve Brussels — and Brussels wants to take all of Europe, including Hungary, into war. Come along!

Mr. Representative! Mr. Candidate, greetings! I brought you a gift, as I announced on Saturday — a military helmet.

Thank you very much.

You are Brussels’ candidate here in North Pest. Brussels wants war. I cannot accept that, because in reality it is you who support the war — by strengthening the European Union and by refusing to disconnect from Russian gas and Russian energy sources. Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary; EU leaders traveled to Kyiv and decided to continue the war, while blackmailing and threatening Hungary.

My concern is that if there were no national government and no Viktor Orbán, you would take Hungary into war.

Interestingly, no one wants to take Hungary into war. Please calm down, Mr. Representative, and viewers as well. The Hungarian opposition will not take Hungary into war.

Doesn’t he accept it? That’s what they wanted to prove. No, thank you. Balázs Barkóczi did not accept it. He — Brussels’ number one candidate. He is the one we must defeat.

❌ It’s not the same whether you have a gold toilet or gold reserves!

Hungary’s gold reserves have increased from 3 tons in 2010 to 110 tons today.
That represents a 9,500% increase in value, especially considering that the price of gold has tripled in just the past three years.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Europeans’ money is being spent on gold toilets. So who is really investing their money wisely?

In addition, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves are also at a record high, now exceeding €40 billion. We are living in an age of dangers, and in times like these, a strong national reserve is especially important.

We cannot risk having a left-wing government in Hungary, because as they did before, they would once again sell off the country.

🟠 On April 12, let’s send a clear message that we will not allow this! Fidesz is the safe choice!

Here’s an interesting fact about Hungarian gold: the country’s gold reserves have risen from 3 tons in 2010 to 110 tons today. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, European taxpayers’ money is being used to make gold toilets. So who is actually investing wisely?

Incredibly, the price of gold has tripled over the past three years. That means both the quantity and the value have increased — together resulting in a 9,500% growth in wealth. Do you now understand where the funding for family support programs comes from?

Furthermore, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves are at a peak, exceeding €40 billion. Why is this important? Because in an era of risks and instability, a secure national reserve is crucial.

The former left-wing central bank governor sold off 60 tons of gold, and during the near-bankruptcy situation in 2008, Hungary’s foreign currency reserves were less than half of what they are today. That person is György Surányi, who is now an advisor to Péter Magyar.

It would cause unforeseeable damage to the country if the left returned to power, because even in times of major crises they sold off the nation’s assets — and they would do so again with our gold and foreign currency reserves.

“National financial responsibility vs. left-wing sellout + Ukraine squanders the money”

Structure: Technique – Goal – Effect


1️⃣ Strong contrast and emotional symbol – “golden toilet vs. gold reserves”

📌 Technique:

  • Mocking, visually powerful metaphor (“golden toilet”).

  • Use of a foreign country as a negative example.

🎯 Goal:
To turn an economic policy issue into a moral judgment:
“We accumulate and protect wealth; they squander it.”

The audience does not weigh macroeconomic data but emotionally identifies with the role of the “responsible steward.”


2️⃣ Big-number effect + percentage amplification – “9,500% growth”

📌 Technique:

  • Striking, extreme percentage figure.

  • Repetition (“the quantity increased, the value increased”).

🎯 Goal:
To create a strong perception of economic success.

💥 Effect:
The sheer size of the number feels convincing in itself, even if the base was low (3 tons → 110 tons).


3️⃣ Security framing – “age of dangers”

📌 Technique:

  • Vague but threatening era-definition.

🎯 Goal:
To narrow the electoral decision into a fear-based binary choice.

💥 Effect:
Intermediate or nuanced alternatives disappear from the frame.


📊 Context on gold reserves

  • Hungary’s gold reserves have indeed increased significantly in recent years.
  • Foreign currency reserves exceeding €40 billion are also higher than during the 2008 crisis.
  • The global gold price has risen substantially in recent years, increasing the book value of reserves.

Important distinction:
Gold reserves are not budget revenue; they are central bank assets serving stability and confidence functions.


🔎 Overall picture

This communication combines multiple layers:

✔️ Economic success narrative
✔️ External negative example (Ukraine)
✔️ Recall of past crisis
✔️ Responsibility tied to a named individual
✔️ Security vs. risk framing
✔️ Electoral mobilization

A technical policy issue (central bank reserve management) is transformed into an emotional–moral–identity-based campaign message.

Káposztásmegyer also says no to war and migration! Hungarian families are moving back home from Western Europe one after another!

Incredible stories again during the signature collection. A mother and her son of military age came up to us earlier. They have been living in Germany since 2004. Now they are planning to move back to Hungary because they want to conscript the young man and take him into the army.

She said that four years ago she was not a Fidesz voter, but year after year the situation has deteriorated so much in their small German town due to migration that it has become clear: on April 12, 2026, she will vote for Fidesz — both because of the war and because of the fight against migration.

They have already taken time off work, so they will be in Hungary on April 12 and will support the Fidesz party list and the party’s individual candidate as the safe choice.

❗️Program Change! Due to Ukrainian threats, the Minister of Defence will not be able to appear tomorrow morning on The Hour of Truth. We will reschedule for Friday!

Program update: It was originally planned that tomorrow at 7:30 a.m., Defence Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky would be the guest on The Hour of Truth. However, because of Ukrainian blackmail and Brussels’ war threats, the government has ordered heightened protection of critical energy infrastructure. In addition to the police, the armed forces will also play a role in this effort, so the minister has urgent, unavoidable duties in this matter. Therefore, his appearance has been postponed to Friday.

On Friday, we will be able to discuss the latest developments regarding Europe’s war preparations, as well as the attacks and blackmail directed at Hungary. As I see it, the situation is escalating practically hour by hour.

Politico — that major Brussels-based publication — has just reported that Péter Magyar has already settled everything with Brussels and Kyiv. In other words, they take it as a given that if there is a change of government and a Tisza government comes to power, he would agree to everything demanded by the European Union’s pro-war mainstream. Hungary would be cut off from cheap Russian energy, Hungary would support Ukraine’s EU accession, and Brussels’ war plans would be backed.

I’m not the one saying this — Politico is writing it.

Balázska doesn’t understand.

❗️Even though they tried to smash my face in with a shovel today!
❗️Even though they chased me with dog excrement!
❗️Even though they send threatening messages!

We will be out on the streets again on Thursday!

We will defeat Brussels’ candidate, Balázs Barkóczi, and guarantee peace and security in North Pest!

See you on Thursday! 🇭🇺✌️🧡

❗ Outrageous Tisza lies: Andrea Bujdos denied that Zelensky’s government is refusing to restart the Druzhba oil pipeline.

It’s understandable that this is uncomfortable for Tisza, since they support the very Ukraine and Brussels that are now blackmailing Hungary on a daily basis to force us into financing the war.

🚨 Ukraine is preparing further actions to obstruct the functioning of Hungary’s energy system. They want to create chaos and an energy crisis in order to help the Tisza Party gain power — which, in return, would let Ukraine into the European Union and finance the war with Hungarian taxpayers’ money. But we will not allow interference in Hungary’s elections!

Hungary has made it clear that it will block all European decisions favorable to Ukraine until Kyiv restores oil deliveries.

🟠 We will protect Hungary’s energy supply and peace! Fidesz is the safe choice.

Two Tisza representatives are sitting right across from us today in the chamber. Did they speak about the Druzhba pipeline or not? Well, Andrea Bujdos spoke up in the hall, claiming it is a lie that Zelensky’s government is not restarting the Druzhba oil pipeline. This is the most embarrassing kind of Tisza whitewashing I have heard so far — denying a reality that everyone knows. But it’s understandable: it is very uncomfortable for them to stand on the side of that Ukraine and that Brussels which are now pressuring Hungary in every possible way to force us into financing the war.

🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy

In the text, Zelenskyy’s name functions symbolically:
not as reference to a specific decision, but as the embodiment of an entire wartime political agenda.


🎯 Overall Picture – What Is Happening Communicatively?

The text simultaneously uses:

✔️ Lie-accusation framing
✔️ Energy-based fear appeals
✔️ Foreign interference narrative
✔️ Sovereignty-defense rhetoric
✔️ Power projection (“we will block it”)

This is a classic “besieged fortress” narrative:

Hungary is being blackmailed from the outside →
the opposition is complicit →
only the current government can defend the country.
