This is the result of Fidesz’s deliberate, cowardly propaganda to incite violence. Today in Debrecen, TISZA volunteers were chased by a man with an axe in a housing estate. Police deployed 8 shielded officers. The volunteers escaped unharmed.

Even Századvég, the Orbán regime’s own think tank, shows no “national consensus” against Ukraine: 50% support EU accession via the normal merit-based process, 6% want it fast-tracked, and 43% oppose it.

1/2 Hungarians who hate Ukrainians do it out of envy and denial. They can’t face that Ukrainians have proven real courage, while we Hungarians only make noise. We can’t even remove Orbán and his clique, unlike the Ukrainians who toppled Yanukovych despite being shot at and losing many lives.

Thousands filled Budapest’s Kossuth Square in an anti-Orbán protest led by Róbert Puzsér’s *Civil Resistance*. Triggered by raids on activist Péter Juhász, protesters decried corruption and state control. Independent media counted 5-10 k; Fidesz outlets called it “a few hundred.”

5/5 These ads highlight how Hungarian taxpayers’ money is being used to fund coordinated propaganda efforts designed to brainwash Hungarian society. By flooding public spaces with manipulative narratives, the government is reinforcing ignorance and reshaping reality in its favor.

4/5 These ads are linked to the Aktuális Facebook page, which is tied to Fidesz both ideologically and financially. It targets mostly Péter Magyar and spreads Russian propaganda, spent 20 million HUF on Facebook ads alone in 3 months, on other platforms possibly way higher.

3/5 The voiceover is unmistakably that of Apáti Bence. Apáti is a known propagandist in Hungary. He has a clear public affiliation with the government and often amplifies narratives aligned with Fidesz’s political goals.

12/12 For Ukraine, the Budapest Memorandum is a bitter symbol of betrayal. For the world, it’s a cautionary tale: disarmament without ironclad guarantees leads to ruin. The question is whether we’ll learn from it—or allow history to repeat with even greater consequences.

🇺🇦🧵⬇️ 1/12 Thirty years ago today, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for hollow “assurances” of sovereignty. Three decades later, it stands as a warning: disarmament without guarantees is suicidal. Here’s why:

3/15 Unmarked TikTok Campaigns (MAI): Over 100 influencers (8M+ followers) promoted Georgescu’s campaign without marking it as political, violating electoral laws. TikTok failed to enforce ad disclosure, allowing hashtags like #EchilibruSiVerticalitate to trend globally.

U.S. intelligence warns that Russia, China, and Iran may provoke unrest after the Nov. 5 election. These nations are poised to use disinformation, cyber operations, and possibly violent actions, learning from past U.S. elections to deepen divisions and erode trust in democratic systems.
