Billboards have recently appeared across Hungary showing Péter Magyar — the leader of Tisza, currently the strongest Hungarian opposition party — and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as two newly hatched chicks, sitting side by side in a nest. The imagery is accompanied by the Hungarian phrase “mint két tojás” — literally “like two eggs”, meaning “like two peas in a pod.”
The message seems clear: to suggest that Magyar is “the Hungarian Zelensky” — a populist figure backed from abroad, or a political newcomer with similar ambitions.
This narrative isn’t limited to the billboards. The same comparison is now being pushed through YouTube ads and pro-government media outlets, indicating a coordinated propaganda campaign. The effort appears aimed at undermining Magyar’s credibility by portraying him as a foreign-influenced figure or part of a larger geopolitical agenda.
Brussel isn’t working anymore so Vicky is trying to single out new enemy responsible for everything wrong in country?

Please stop it Mr Orbán, I’m voting for Péter Magyar anyway, no need to keep trying to sell me on him.

Oh no, who would want to have a leader brave enough to stay and risk his life every day fighting for his country when he could have easily fled and lived a luxury lifestyle in the West using his fortune. How horrible that would be! 😀
What kind of idiot made these posters 😀
It’s not surprising that the new polls show Fidesz is losing harder and harder if this is what they think will help them 😀

So Orban is basically doing Magyar a favor. I would be honored if someone compared me to Zelensky.

I wish people would compliment me that well.

They don’t seem to realise, that comparing Orcban’s challenger, Peter Magyar to Zelenskyy, the most iconic leader of the XXI century, defeats the purpose of their hatemongering propaganda.
Thanks Orcban for being as stupid as we know you are, and telling this to the whole world!

Is that really thought through? He could just adopt it and say, “Yes, sure i am! Like Zelensky, I will fight all russian aggression… unlike Orbán, who welcomes them into our midst, like the collaborateurs of 1956”

If the government handles this incitement as “well” as they did the attempted Pride ban — which ended up becoming the biggest Pride in Hungarian history — then a change of government in 2026 is practically guaranteed.

I see a lot of you commenting on how it’s actually a compliment for Magyar to get compared to Zelensky but the point of this poster is to indicate that Peter Magyar is more interested in Ukraine than in Hungary.
(Great way to spend governmental funds.)

Populists really are experts at trying to insult their opponents but actually make them look cool instead.

This actually a major own-goal, since most of the Hungarians – despite Orban’s propaganda – still look up to Zelensky.

Hope that hungarians see through Orban’s BS.
He managed to bring the country on its knees. Claiming deals with China as a huge success, wondering if he knows that China will bleed them dry on the long run.

Nice try, jabba the fat.

I’d vote for a guy who was like Zelensky in a heartbeat. That guy is a fucking hero.

“Magyar” is such a baller name for a Hungarian but at the same time a little on the nose lol. Over in my German home town there’s a business named after its founder Karl Deutsch.

Which country doesn’t want a leader like Zelensky?

I mean… I’m honestly not even sure if that is supposed to be a bad thing? I know little a out Magyar, but Zelensky is objectively a good leader and more charismatic than many other high politicians.
