After Viktor Orbán, the majority also fears nuclear war – survey
Change language:
Fully 54 percent of Hungarians consider it “a real danger” that the Russia-Ukraine war could escalate into a third-world war and 55 percent think that one of the warring sides could deploy nuclear arms, according to a survey released by the Nézőpont Institute on Monday.
The Hungarian government’s communication seems to be working very well, as the government’s fear is reflected in society. Viktor Orbán and members of his government are constantly communicating that because the West is backing Ukraine, and therefore not allowing our eastern neighbour to collapse, they are escalating the war, which could turn into a third world war. But the government will further strengthen Russian business ties: Hungary reaches new agreements with Russia on energy supply
When the war broke out more than a year ago, many Hungarians believed that it would end soon, Nézőpont said.
Let’s just think about it, let’s be real, in all likelihood PM Orban does not really think that there will be a nuclear war, but he has to say the worst to keep us, the voters, in fear of such an event, that’s how autocrats (and pseudo-autocrats) stay in power – instilling FEAR in the people, no wonder “55 p.c.” of the surveyed people think that way.
