❗ Since 2010, the minimum wage has increased by 340 percent, from 73,000 forints to 323,000 forints. And this will continue.

Under national governments, wages have always risen; under left-wing governments, we only suffered tax increases and austerity measures.

It would be no different with Tisza either — their leaked austerity package shows they are planning the same.

🟠 Fidesz is the party of wage increases. That is why on April 12, we are once again the safe choice.

Why is Fidesz the safe choice?
I have many reasons, but if I had to name just one:
because the minimum wage rose from 73,000 forints to 323,000 forints.

❗ Another left-wing economist has checked into Péter Magyar’s money drain!
Júlia Király, former central bank vice president, spoke in a recording where she said that, in her view, utility cost reductions are a “lie,” and that a multi-tier (progressive) tax system is “feasible.” 💭

All of these ideas are eerily identical to the views expressed by Péter Magyar and his advisers. It is worth recalling that the president of TISZA previously stated that cheap utility prices protecting Hungarian families are merely “humbug,” and that their economic program writer, Áron Dalnoki, is advocating the introduction of a progressive personal income tax. ❌

Péter Magyar and his circle are nothing more than a left-wing party with a left-wing program. With disgraced advisers, they would abolish family support schemes, eliminate the 13th and 14th month pensions, and, on orders from Brussels, funnel money to Ukraine. We must say no to this.

We cannot gamble with our future, and we cannot allow ourselves to be made to pay the price of this senseless war. 🟠
In April, it is up to us to send this message together! Fidesz is the safe choice!

Júlia Király has also emerged from the pantry. She says that utility cost reductions are a lie and that progressive taxation is possible. What do you think about this? Utility cost reduction is, in reality, a lie. A certain kind of progressivity in the tax system is feasible.

A whole gallery has found itself again: László Kéri, or Zita Mária Pestnyi, András Kármán, and the list could go on at length. Júlia Király has now stepped into the usual left-wing narrative, attacking the Hungarian people with both feet.

But what should we expect from the left? This is what they know, this is what they would do, and they have even said that they cannot talk about it now, but after the election, everything will be possible.

🎯 Core Function (Real Objective)

The text is not an economic policy debate, but rather:

• character assassination,
• scapegoating,
• fear-mongering,
• and the communication of a pre-fabricated political verdict.

The conclusion is fixed from the very beginning:
👉 “Péter Magyar = left-wing = anti-family = pro-war = dangerous.”
Everything else serves this premise.

1️⃣ “Checked into Péter Magyar’s money pit” – Criminalizing framing

🔹 Technique: metaphorical stigmatization
🔹 Tools: “money pit,” “emerged from the pantry”

Effect:

• A professional opinion is no longer an opinion, but “collusion”
• The speaker is no longer an economist, but a suspicious figure
• The political arena is reframed as a moral battlefield (good vs. evil)

👉 Classic authoritarian rhetoric:
we do not debate the claim, we discredit the speaker.

2️⃣ Guilt by association

This is where the key maneuver happens:

“Júlia Király said this → it eerily resembles Péter Magyar’s views → therefore it is part of a left-wing conspiracy”

🔹 Technique: chained association
🔹 Logical fallacy: not proof, but deliberate conflation

👉 If two people express similar views on an issue, that does not prove political subordination.
In propaganda, however, suspicion alone is sufficient.

3️⃣ Turning an economic question into a moral crime

Utility price regulation (rezsicsökkentés)

The word “lie” is isolated and weaponized:

• no context,
• no explanation,
• no data.

🔹 Technique: emotional trigger
🔹 Intended message:

“Anyone who criticizes it is acting against the Hungarian people.”

Progressive taxation

It is presented as:

• a “left-wing attack,”
• an “anti-family threat,”
• a “hidden agenda.”

👉 There is no discussion of:

• where it would apply,
• at what rates,
• to which income levels.

Only fear remains.

4️⃣ “Discredited advisers” – Personal discrediting through listing

The list itself becomes the weapon.

🔹 Technique: collective stigmatization
🔹 Effect:
– what anyone actually said no longer matters
– being labeled “left-wing” is sufficient

👉 This is sectarian logic: group identity outweighs the content of the argument.

5️⃣ Total future dystopia – without evidence

The text claims that they would:

• abolish family benefits,
• eliminate the 13th and 14th month pensions,
• finance Ukraine “on Brussels’ orders.”

🔹 Technique: apocalyptic future projection
🔹 Problem:
📌 not a single concrete quote or policy document is cited

👉 This is not information, but intimidation.

6️⃣ “They can’t talk about it now, but after the election everything will be possible”

🔹 Technique: conspiracy narrative
🔹 Function:
– all denials are pre-emptively invalidated
– if they deny it → “they’re lying”
– if they don’t → “they admitted it”

👉 This is a logical trap with no escape.

7️⃣ Closing: collective emotional blackmail

“We cannot risk our future.”
“They would make us pay for the war.”

🔹 Technique: existential fear
🔹 Goal:
👉 the election is framed not as a choice, but as self-defense

And here comes the pre-manufactured conclusion:

🟠 “Fidesz is the safe choice.”

🧠 One-sentence summary

This text does not argue; it:

• stigmatizes,
• conflates,
• intimidates,
• and morally coerces.

Economic policy is merely scenery.
The real message is this:

“Anyone who thinks differently is a danger to you.”

According to Ursula von der Leyen, “Ukraine must continue to be supported strongly and persistently.”

The Brussels war train is not slowing down: more money for the war and more migrants into Europe. Recently, Ursula von der Leyen urged the taking out of another €90 billion loan to support Ukraine, and also stated that cooperation is needed in implementing the migration pact, because this will define the next six months.

❌ Hungarians do not want either the senseless financing of the war or the resettlement of migrants. In April, we will also decide on this. Fidesz is the safe choice. 🟠

Hello everyone! Ursula once again said that Ukraine must be supported persistently and continuously. These statements make it clear that sanctions and pressure are being framed as “necessary” and inevitable. Once again, Ukraine is being placed at the center of a punitive situation.

We are told that we must push forward migration and force these measures through, and that these decisions will matter continuously over the coming weeks.

What do I think about this? Exactly what we said would happen. We warned that from Brussels they practically want us to send money to Ukraine. And that money does not come from nowhere, not from the sky — it would come out of our pockets.

That is why it is extremely important for Hungary to have a government that can stand up to this pressure. Magyar Péter is not the kind of figure who can say no to Brussels.

🎯 Core Function (Real Purpose)

The video does not inform; instead, it:

• forces an emotional decision,
• constructs an enemy image,
• and legitimizes a single political choice.

👉 The final conclusion is predetermined: “Fidesz is the safe choice.”
Everything else is subordinated to this message.

1️⃣ Appeal to Authority + Threatening Framing

Quoting Ursula von der Leyen is not meant to inform, but to serve as an alarm signal.

🔹 Technique:

• “Brussels has decided”
• “This is what the next six months will be about”

🔹 Effect:

• creates a sense of inevitability
• makes the viewer feel: “This is already decided, we are the only ones left.”

👉 This is authoritarian framing, not debate.

2️⃣ Enemy Construction (Externalization)

Key phrases:

• “the Brussels war train”
• “pressure from Brussels”
• “Brussels wants this”

🔹 Function:

• all risks are shifted onto external actors
• the government is portrayed as a reactive defender

👉 Classic propaganda rule:
if something goes wrong, it is never the result of internal decisions.

3️⃣ Fear-Mongering Through Numbers

The figure “€90 billion” appears without context.

🔹 What is missing:

• Hungary’s actual share
• the legal mechanism
• decision-making rights

🔹 What remains:

• a huge, frightening number

👉 This is numerical shock, not economic analysis.

4️⃣ Pocket-Level Emotional Activation

Key sentence:

“This doesn’t come from the sky, it comes out of our pockets.”

🔹 Technique:

• visualization of personal loss
• collective “we” framing

🔹 Effect:

• the viewer experiences the issue as a direct financial threat
• abstract policy turns into personal fear

👉 This is an emotional short circuit: defense instead of thinking.

5️⃣ False Binary Choice

The narrative logic is:

• either Fidesz,
• or Brussels + war + migration.

🔹 What is missing:

• nuance
• alternative political paths
• conditional or selective cooperation

👉 This is a false dilemma: the viewer is trapped between two extremes.

6️⃣ Preemptive Discrediting (Magyar Péter)

Magyar Péter is presented not through arguments, but through a label of incompetence.

🔹 Claim:

• “He is not the kind of person who can say no.”

🔹 Evidence:

• none

👉 This is preventive character assassination:
the verdict is delivered before he can speak.

🧠 Summary – Why Is This Propaganda?

✔️ appeals to emotions, not data
✔️ constructs enemies
✔️ oversimplifies
✔️ activates fear
✔️ allows only one political conclusion

📌 Not necessarily a lie, but manipulative framing.

Pogácsás Pista raises the point that during snowfall there was zero assistance in the so-called “stone city” areas, and we see exactly the same, just as you do, dear Pista — and not only when it comes to snowfall, but in general.

The fact is that more than two-thirds of Budapest’s residents live in these stone city districts, yet people often feel as if “Budapest” only means what happens along the Grand Boulevard, which is not correct at all.

Development funds also largely flow to the inner city, and I too believe that in this sense the outer districts are left to fend for themselves by the metropolitan municipality.

We, however, do not prioritize this way, and we do not believe that these districts should be neglected. That is precisely why we devote even more attention to the outer districts.

In recent years, there have in fact been many government-funded developments in the outer districts. For example, if we think about the “Healthy Budapest” program, the renovation of the Rákosmente outpatient clinic is one such case.

Recently, regarding healthcare and streets, I was also in District 16 with the mayor not long ago. So we are working to ensure that these districts receive the attention and care they truly deserve.

1️⃣ “We also see the problem” – apparent agreement

“…we see the same thing…”

🔹 Technique: empathetic identification
🔹 Function:
– disarms criticism before any real answer is given
– suggests: “we’re not arguing with you, we already agree”

👉 In reality, it remains unclear:

• why no help is arriving,
• who is responsible,
• and when anything will change.

2️⃣ Vague opposition of “they” versus “we”

“…the outer districts are left on their own by the metropolitan government…”
“…we, on the other hand, do not prioritize this way…”

🔹 Technique: binary framing (“they are bad – we are good”)
🔹 Function:
– one-sided transfer of responsibility
– construction of the government as a caring counter-image

👉 Missing entirely:

• a concrete budget,
• ratios or figures,
• a decision-making mechanism.

There are value judgments — but no data.

3️⃣ Symbolic example = masking a systemic problem

“The renovation of the Rákosmente outpatient clinic…”

🔹 Technique: tokenism (showcase example)
🔹 Function:
– suggests general care based on a single investment
– blurs the distinction between isolated cases and systemic policy in the listener’s mind

👉 A classic trick:

one swallow does not make a summer

Meanwhile:

• transport in outer districts,
• snow removal,
• basic healthcare,
• public services

remain structurally underfunded.

4️⃣ Time-filling personal presence (“I was there”)

“…I was recently in District 16 with the mayor…”

🔹 Technique: performative politics
🔹 Function:
– creates the illusion of action
– “being present” ≠ “solving the problem”

👉 A visit is not a policy measure,
but it is presented as one in communication.

5️⃣ Moral closing (“they deserve it”)

“…the attention and care they truly deserve.”

🔹 Technique: emotional closure
🔹 Function:
– moral high ground
– generates positive feelings without concrete commitments

👉 A classic propaganda ending:

morality ≠ policy,
yet here morality substitutes for missing action.

🧠 Summary – what is really happening?

This text:

✔️ acknowledges the problem (verbally),
❌ accepts no responsibility,
❌ offers no measurable commitments,
❌ names no systemic causes,
✔️ builds political loyalty.

👉 It is not about solutions, but about narrative control.

I’m sorry that we have to talk about such bad news again, but the thing is that I think we need to talk about the dangers of migration. Today’s news was that a Bangladeshi man raped a ten-year-old girl in Italy and got her pregnant, and now there’s a huge public outcry in Italy because he got away with it all with a five-year prison sentence. So this is what we’re risking, this is what migration would bring, but as long as Hungary has a national government, we won’t allow this, so Fidesz is still the safe choice. What happened in Italy is outrageous and unacceptable: a Bangladeshi migrant man raped a ten-year-old girl who got pregnant – and the court only sentenced him to five years in prison. The sexual assault took place in a reception center where the girl lived with her mother. The court amended the original charge to a milder legal classification and heard the case in an expedited procedure. As a mother, it is impossible to pass by such a case without saying a word. What happened is heartbreaking and I cannot find words to explain how the court can find any mitigating circumstances. This is not the first time that illegal immigrants have committed such horrors. We see exactly what the consequences are of Western Europe being flooded with migrants. If there were no national government in Hungary, we would not dare to let our daughters out on the streets now. But as long as Fidesz is in power, Hungary will not be a country of migrants, and we will protect our borders as consistently as before. That is why Fidesz is the safe choice.

The following text is classic fear-mongering propaganda that turns a real (or presented as such) crime into a political tool. The purpose of the analysis is not to relativize the case, but to show how manipulation works.

🎯 Basic function (no hidden purpose)

The text is not about the Italian justice system, child protection, or the specific legal case, but about:

creating collective fear,

making an entire group (migrants) a scapegoat,

forcing political loyalty,

and presenting Fidesz as the only solution to stay in power.

1️⃣ Emotional shock therapy (shock framing)

“he raped a ten-year-old girl and got her pregnant”

🔹 Technique: extreme emotional shock
🔹 Effect:

the listener is emotionally paralyzed,

rational deliberation ceases,

an immediate “need for protection” arises.

👉 Important: shock is not a lie, but a manipulative contextualization.

2️⃣ Construction of collective guilt

“this is what migration would bring”

“it is not the first time that illegal immigrants have committed such horrors”

🔹 Technique: generalization, collective responsibility

🔹 Logical error:

from an individual crime

the moral judgment of an entire group follows.

👉 This is not a statement of fact, but scapegoating.

3️⃣ False causality

“We see exactly what the consequence is that Western Europe was flooded with migrants.”

🔹 Technique: simplifying cause-effect

🔹 Reality:

no statistics,

no comparison,

no proportionality.

👉 The crime is not the consequence of migration, but of a perpetrator.

4️⃣ “As a mother” – emotional validation

“As a mother, it is impossible to leave without saying anything…”

🔹 Technique: moral shield

🔹 Effect:

anyone who argues is “heartless”,

criticism is morally impossible.

👉 This is not an argument, but emotional blackmail.

5️⃣ Apocalyptic vision

“now we wouldn’t dare let our daughters out on the street”

🔹 Technique: panic-inducing vision

🔹 Effect:

existential fear,

“if not them, then chaos”.

👉 Classic security = obedience narrative.

6️⃣ False dilemma (binary choice)

“as long as Fidesz governs…”

“That’s why Fidesz is the safe choice.”

🔹 Technique: false dichotomy

🔹 Message:

either Fidesz,

or violence, chaos, children in danger.

👉 There is no third way, no debate, no alternative.

📌 What the text intentionally does not do

❌ It does not talk about the Italian legal system,

❌ It does not examine judicial reasoning,

❌ It does not differentiate between refugee / migrant / perpetrator,

❌ It does not offer a real child protection solution.

🧠 Summary

This text:

builds on emotional panic,

produces a collective enemy,

forces political loyalty,

and turns a tragedy into propaganda.

👉 The goal is not to protect the victim,
👉 but to transform fear into political capital.
