Gather's maiden voyage
Factiverse tool Gather is now expanding access to more users for large-scale political analysis. See how we used it ourselves, and join our limited-time offer.
Prior to the Hungarian Parliamentary elections, we identified 62 campaign video speeches from the 5 leading candidates. Using our Gather web app (try it yourself) we run all the videos through it. It took under 1,5 hours to extract 2,528 verified, timestamped claims across all five candidates.
Each report was available in the web app and email, and also in Excel containing person, claim, level of accuracy and real-time evidence. We used Claude to identify key narrative clusters, LLMs hallucinate, even the amazing ones like Claude. That's why, no matter how much we analysed the content with Claude, we could cross-reference each narrative with actual direct quotes and claims by the candidates. Did they actually say that, or did Claude just hallucinate everything?

What we found
While Orbán focused on sovereignty and stability — 665 claims across EU relations, energy security, Ukraine aid, and migration — Magyar ran on accountability and renewal across 511 claims on corruption, healthcare, electoral integrity, and blocked EU funds.
Klára Dobrev`s (Democratic Coalition) 281 statements were often pro-Europe and pro-Ukraine. László Toroczkai (Mi Hazánk) attacked both Orbán and Magyar across 963 statements on bank nationalisation, hard migration, and geopolitical isolationism.
Here you can see this more in detail examples of the claims by the candidates:
- Viktor Orbán (Fidesz, Prime Minister) — sovereignty under siege from Brussels, Ukraine, and global liberalism. "Hungary said no to Brussels forcing us to change our economic model — and we survived". 15 videos, 665 statements
- Péter Magyar (Tisza Party) — presents Hungary as Europe's poorest and most corrupt country. "Someone around Orbán is profiting from the price difference between cheap Russian oil and the expensive alternatives Hungary now buys". 12 videos, 511 statements.
- Klára Dobrev (Democratic Coalition) — the most pro-European and pro-Ukraine voice. "We buy natural gas and oil at above-market prices, paying our children in installments for Russia's benefit". 10 videos, 281 statements.
- László Toroczkai (Mi Hazánk / Our Homeland) — attacks Orbán and Magyar equally. Bank nationalisation, hard migration, geopolitical isolationism. "Breaking all records since Trianon — we are watching a demographic catastrophe in slow motion, and every government is pretending otherwise". 9 videos, 960 statements.
- Zsuzsanna Döme & Gergely Kovács (Two-tailed Dog Party) — municipal-level opposition providing granular evidence of Fidesz financial networks on the ground. Limited evidence - 4 videos, 111 statements.

Key promises on record by the Tisza party
We also manually went over all the direct claims by different party candidates, and identified the ones that contained actual promises.
Here are some of most interesting promises by the Peter Magyar
One promise already has a deadline in August 2026:
- Youth: “From August 2026, 700,000 Hungarian families will receive 100,000 forints of education support.”
- EU funds: “Bring home the 8,000 billion forints of EU funds… for roads, hospitals, schools, Hungarian SMEs and farmers.”
- Healthcare: “Double healthcare spending — 10,000 hospital beds shut down, 225 units closed, 30–40k preventable deaths per year.”
- Anti-corruption & accountability: “We will create a Revenue Regulatory Office and conduct financial reviews of all representatives and their families over the next 20 years.”
- Taxation & wealth: “We will increase the minimum pension by 50%, helping hundreds of thousands, and gradually raise other pensions — unlike Orbán, who gave 3.2% while raising his own salary fivefold.”
- Energy & environment: “Under the Tisza government, firewood and coal support will be distributed on a social basis — those heating with firewood have had no coal reduction.
Where the opposition disagreed — and with whom
On Russian influence: Orbán frames Russia as a structural energy partner (Mario Nawfal Interview, 9:30). Magyar cites the presence of GRU operatives in Budapest under diplomatic cover (Kiskunhalas Tisza Rally, 19:10). Dobrev presents specific audio evidence of a spy network inside the largest opposition party (Magyar Közöny Podcast, 8:50). Toroczkai dismisses the entire espionage framing as a managed distraction (Dunakeszi Mi Hazánk Rally, 102:25).
On the economy: Orbán measures success through employment figures and family support payments (Szentes Fideza Rally, 37:47). His opponents measure the same period through troublesome mortality rates, emigration, and income levels.
On corruption: Magyar cites the most specific evidence, alleging that 20,000 billion forints were allegedly looted from the state over 16 years (Pásztó Tisza Rally, 20:12). Toroczkai focuses on the Samsung 133 billion-forint contract without committing to a single new Hungarian job (Dunakeszi Mi Hazánk Rally, 102:25).
