“Ukrainians want to help the Tisza Party to come to power, that is why they have such a large presence here, that is why they shut down the oil pipeline, and that is why they are threatening the Prime Minister,” the Fidesz parliamentary group leader said on public radio, adding that in return, Tisza would vote for everything that is important to Ukraine.
High stakes
Mate Kocsis pointed out that the key question of the April 12 election is whether Hungary will have a pro-Ukraine government or continue along the path of national sovereignty. Speaking in connection with the CPAC Hungary 2026 conference held on Saturday, where he addressed the issue of fake news, Mate Kocsis stated that Peter Magyar himself is “one of the biggest fake news producers.”
The amount of lies he has presented over the past two years is unparalleled, with the main problem being that all of this serves to advance a pro-Ukraine political agenda,
Mate Kocsis said. As a typical fake news case and even election fraud, he highlighted the claim spread by Tisza supporters that voters who cannot decide between Fidesz and Our Homeland (Mi Hazank) should mark both options on the ballot. Gergely Gulyas, the minister heading the Prime Minister's Office, has already filed a complaint over the issue.
The Fidesz politician argued that such cases can be identified as part of a broader left-wing propaganda machine and a social media network operated with Ukrainian involvement. These must be countered, he said, because while individually they may seem minor, their sheer volume in Hungary’s public sphere makes action necessary. According to Mate Kocsis,
Peter Magyar is driven by one thing: incitement and the continuous maintenance of hostility. He has made the tone of politics toxic, hateful, and inflammatory.
“Magyar himself effectively turns communication into hate mongering by spreading unfounded claims against the government,” he added.
Only April 12 matters
The parliamentary group leader of Fidesz emphasized that debates over crowd sizes at events like the Peace March or the opposition demonstration on March 15 are of secondary importance.
What matters is how many people go out to vote on April 12,
he said. Everything else, he argued, merely fuels endless disputes. The Tisza Party will ultimately lose, he said, because it seeks “to seize power through foreign collusion and with support coming from abroad,” which does not resonate with Hungarian voters.
Fake news from the left
Regarding opinion polls, Mate Kocsis said that
claims about Russian influence or that Tisza Party leads by 20 percent are all fake news — mere bluffs and campaign tools designed to maintain hope among left-wing voters.
"Polling organizations publishing such results," he said, are “not serious institutions, not serious people, and will lose credibility after the election. No one will place serious commissions with them.” He also raised the question: if Tisza were truly leading by such a margin, why would they attempt to force lower-polling candidates to withdraw through threats and complaints?
