Thousands of party proud in Budapest proud in a clear message to Orban

Budapest advertises himself as a party town. On Saturday, the party dropped on the streets, and in summer scorching heat, Elizabeth Bridge and River captured both the banks in banks and city areas.

Most of the youth danced between 100,000 and 200,000 and sang their way from insect to Buda.

A distance that usually takes only 20 minutes on foot extends for three hours.

Prime Minister Victor Orban’s ban, many Budapest Pride participants told me, inspired them to participate in an event they usually stay away. Last year, only 35,000 participated.

Many banners made fun of the Prime Minister of Hungary. It was like a peaceful revenge by some of them, he declared war in power during his last 15 years.

“In my history class, I learned enough to recognize a dictatorship. You don’t need to portray it – Vick!” Read a hand -made banner. “I am very bored with fascism,” read one more.

T-shirts with the image of the arbon in bright eyeshadow and lipstick were everywhere.

While the LGBT community along with its vivid paraffurnelia made the original of March, this year’s pride turned into a celebration of human rights and solidarity.

“We don’t look at all as if we were banned!” In a speech in front of the Budapest Technical University, a smiling Budapest Mayor, Gerley Carcasoni told the crowd.

Saturday’s march can go down as a crown of his political career. A city hall started funds and in a continuous struggle with the central government, the government tried to ban the government, and tried to win – now at least.

“In fact, we look as if we are peacefully and independently performing a big, thick show for a puff-up and disgusting power. The message is clear: they have no power on us!” Karaksoni continued.

Among the attendees were Finnish MEP Lee Anderson, who felt that Orban was using logic on family values ​​on the pretext of banning march.

“It is important to emphasize that we are here, the reason for this is not only proud – it is about the fundamental rights of all of us,” he said.

The ban was based on a new law, which was passed by a large majority organized by the Fidz Party of Orban in Parliament, subjugating the freedom of the Legislative Assembly in the 2021 Child Protection Act, which equaled homosexuality with pedophilia, and therefore banned the depiction or promotion of homosexuality at those places where children could see it.

The police justified the ban on Saturday on Saturday that children could see it. In response, the Mayor cited a 2001 law that states that programs organized by the council do not come under the control of the assembly.

Finally, the police officers present in the March made a prudent attendance, condolences at a party from where they were excluded.

In another part of the city, Orban attended the graduation ceremony of 162 new police and customs officers, and the new officials of the National Director General for policing the aliens.

Orban told the students and their families, “The order does not come in itself, it should be made, because a decent life will be lost without it.”

Earlier, he and officials of other major Fides posted pictures of themselves with their children and grandchildren in an attempt to recover the word “Gaurav”.

Alexandra Szentakirli, the head of the Fidies faction at the Budapest Council, posted them on Facebook, “Post them a photo, what is proud,”, “Hungary” Hungary “Hungary” was posted on Facebook, with a picture of himself in the T-shirt.

The presence of the police at Budapest on Saturday was stopped, but the temporary cameras were installed before March and the police vehicles were recorded in the entire program.

The March 18 law attempted to ban pride, gave police new powers to use facial identification software. Participants may be fined between £ 14 ($ 19) and £ 430.

The pro -government media was afraid of his criticism of day events, making a leading comment by the politicians of the Fides that there was a celebration of the march deformity, in which there was nothing with the freedom of the assembly.

“Anarchy in Budapest Pride,” announced the government lead Magyar Namezet.

“Notorious climate activist and recently terrorist supporter Greta Thunberg posted on his Instagram page that he was also in Budapest Pride,” it continued.

“After the demonstration, it would be a question for the courts,” a political analyst close to the government, Zolton Kiszalli, told the BBC.

“If the courts decide in favor of the mayor and (proud) organizers, then Orban can say, okay, we have to change the law again.”

If the courts decide for the government, however, the Prime Minister may be pleased with the law through which he pushed – despite the fact that pride moved forward.
