Orbán’s Fidesz under fire over sickening AI campaign video depicting execution of Hungarian father

Hungary’s ruling party, Fidesz, has sparked outrage after publishing an artificial intelligence-generated campaign video that shows a Hungarian father being executed in a war scene. It drew sharp criticism from opposition politicians and raised concerns about fear-based political messaging ahead of the elections.

The short video, shared on social media by Fidesz’s Budapest organisation, portrays a young girl searching for her father while her mother cries. In the next scene, the father is shown kneeling in the mud before being shot at close range. The clip ends with a political message suggesting that such events could become reality if voters do not support Fidesz, alongside the slogan:

“This is only a nightmare for now, but Brussels is preparing to make it reality. Fidesz is the safe choice.”

Magyar: “This is not politics, this is manipulation”

Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza Party, described the video as “stomach-turning and unforgivable”. In a Facebook post, he accused the governing party of crossing every moral boundary by using children, executions and fear to influence voters.

“Playing with children, executions and fear is not politics, it is heartless manipulation,” he wrote, adding that the footage tramples on “the most basic human and moral norms”.

Magyar demanded that Fidesz immediately remove the video and apologise to the Hungarian public.

  1. Oh, wow!
    The guy that made a secret tape about his wife, and published it thinks a fantasy video is sickening.

    Sure.

    • Oh Márk, even I agree with you about it. But what about the oligarch enriching Orbán? what about his corruption? isn’t a good reason to say no to it?

      I think again we are not voting for good and bad parties, we are voting for the less harmful party.

      See you in April:D

  2. Make Orban and Szijjarto the first ones who get sent to the front and put them in bright reflective vests. If you have no record to campaign on the only thing you have left is scare tactics. Fidesz is desperate. They are using Russian style propaganda and misinformation.

    • Really Larry?
      After the months we spent together, I expected you to at least show some creativity, but all this time, Im left disappointed. Yearning for a challange.

      It’s not that hard. You just have to use your own ideas instead of talking points handed to you by the Legacy Propaganda Networks. And you will not be so boring.
      Oh, your ideas…. now I see your problem, NPC.

  3. It seems the trend is set. Hungarian politics will only become more of cesspool as time ticks off in the run up to election day. Who flushes the most waste into the tank? Ask any third grader.

  4. In 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson was running against Arizona Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, to be president of the United States, Johnson launched an ad which involved nuclear devastation occurring over the world, as seen through the eyes of a little girl.

    A devastating ad, the likes of which have not been bettered since.

    This Fidesz ad, though very graphic, does put before your eyes what is, essentially, invisible – the destruction of Europe by the Western Elite, (their main front being Bruxelles) though the importation of millions of fighting age non-European men, in addition to the deindustrializion policies and the homosexualization and degeneration of European countries.

    The Fidesz add is both apt and apropos.

    This is what The Modern Left is – an deranged executioner that thinks itself a warrior for sanity & justice.

  5. Fidesz campaigns are highly negative in tone, with widespread posters and online ads focused on criticizing opponents and Western institutions rather than highlighting their own achievements. At the same time, the government has requested EU support regarding Russian crude oil supplies. Pathetic and sad at the same time.

    • That is because protecting the country from those very real threats IS top priority. What good are high salaries, gleaming new hospitals, fancy gadgets and gizmos in schools, ultra-modern streetcars, etc. if young Hungarian men are sent to die in Ukraine for foreign elites’ wet dreams while Hungarian women are raped by third-world flotsam imported by the E.U.?!?!?!

      • What young men are you talking about? what size in the hun army? Hu is a country of elderly. no new babies are born here. The magyars will vanish anyway man. and not because of the war

      • Dear Michael, I think this view is strongly influenced by bias and fear rather than careful thinking about the facts. These are complex issues. That said, I agree on one important point: no one should have to die in a war. For thr crude, please read a bit more about the reality of Janaf pipeline.
