Budapest’s billboards show an AI-rendered image of Zelenskyy with a sinister smile. Anonymous TikTok accounts flood feeds with deepfake videos of Hungarian soldiers returning in coffins. Content output from Fidesz-allied networks has increased 400% since January. For the first time, artificial intelligence is being scaled into Hungarian statecraft.
Zsuzsanna Szelenyi makes clear what is driving the intensity. Orbán’s domestic invincibility is at an end. Magyar leads by 9 to 20 points depending on the poll, and the old tactics of character assassination are not working against a man who built his campaign by dismantling Fidesz from the inside.
The electoral system remains Orbán’s insurance. Whatever happens on April 12, Hungary’s road back will be long.

I think the digotal war thing kinda died, the public internet naturally ( i guess so) pivoted against, only the private groups are supportive, so its just the all familiar bot/russian farms. maybe not russian, but a lot of times these are actually people doing loke a 100 accounts each

Please… dear European friends… help influencing Hungarian elections so that the opposition leader will win and fascist Orban has to go.
You ask how? Search for the social media accounts of Orban and Magyar.
Spread and like everything coming from Magyar.
Downvote everything that is coming from fascist Orban.
If the Americans and the Russians (both fascist countries) decided to help Orban… we, democratic Europeans, should help the good guy.

If Orban is re-elected EU should boot them out. A single member shouldn’t keep the whole thing hostage.

I would never have imagined that Zelensky would take part in Hungarian elections.

When AI generated videos of Hungarian soldiers dead from a battlefield are pumped out, are there any explanation who – in this AI generated world – that killed them? Are they saying that they were killed by Russians, because Putin decided to invade Hungary in this hypothetical war? Or are they claiming Ukrainian soldiers killed them?

Does this guy talk about anything else about Ukraine this and Zelensky that or EU this? Like actual things about bettering Hungary’s economic situation? Just curios.
