Scaring with migrants went out of fashion. Ukraine is the new target of Orbana
The very act of stigmatizing Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelanski as a threat to Hungary is nothing new. And of course Ukraine is not the only one that Fidesz allegedly protects its voters. In recent weeks he has devoted a lot of energy to demonizing homosexuals. However, according to propaganda present on the streets and in government media, Ukraine plays a special role.
Orban referendums with thesis
The so -called National consultations, which are a kind of referendum in which the government asks citizens about various issues. The Fidesz government has been organizing them since 2010, and their goal is creating the impression that the vast majority of citizens support his policy. Two things help in this: questions with the thesis (“Do you want Soros to replace the population of Europe with people from Africa and the Middle East?”) And the fact that voting is voluntary, and counting votes just in case remains in the hands of Fidesz.
The result of these “consultations” is overwhelming support for government policy. He gets 98 percent easily. This is of course a lie – Only about a quarter of voters, die -hard supporters of Fidesz, always participate in referendums. This political tool has little to do with real measurement of government policy.
As mentioned, the next vote has already ended. This time the government asked Hungarians if they wanted Ukraine to join the EU. 95 percent He replied that he was against. 29 percent took part in the referendum. entitled.

This does not mean that the remaining 70 percent He would welcome Ukraine with satisfaction. In a real, honest referendum, the accession of Ukraine probably would not pass (in Hungary and in many other places). This is an important news because it shows in what direction the propaganda of the ruling party will go in the coming months.
“We don't want New Afghanistan behind our border”
The Hungarian government already informs citizens that if Ukraine enters the Union, only there will be only there, low -quality food products in stores, Hungarian farmers will be ruined and infectious diseases will spread among the population. And most importantly – Hungary will join the war.
Government television and press are flooded with painting by Hungarian bleeding or lying in coffins, generated by artificial intelligence. “We don't want New Afghanistan behind our border,” said Viktor Orban. The president of this “future Afghanistan”, Zelnski, is already Presented on posters with Ursula von der Leyen and Soros Jr. or Manfred Weber as the enemy of the state.

It also means that Tisza's opposition party and its leader Peter Magyar must be Kiev agents. This is how their propaganda presents. Magyar is now trying to spoil Hungary not only according to Brussels's instructions, but also Kiev.
War in Ukraine, a pro -Russian direction and hostility towards the Ukrainian state, gave Fidesz a victory in elections – four years ago. It was bold, but slightly unexpected gambit, which paid off very much. Fidesz tries to repeat the recipe, but the circumstances are more difficult than before the last elections. Tisza regularly defeats Fidesz in independent polls, and recently in the question “Who would be the most appropriate prime minister?” Her leader, Peter Magyar, has already surpassed Viktor Orban.
