Thousands of people protested on Tuesday (25) in Budapest against a new law It aims to ban the annual pride station in gay societies It is allowed to use the facial recognition program to identify organizers and participants.
S. The Hungarian Parliament issued a law proposed by parliamentarians in the government party Fidesz last week prevents the process of pride, claiming that it can be harmful to children.
Prime Minister Victor Urban, who faces an unprecedented challenge for the new and increasingly opposition party before the 2026 elections, criticized the LGBTQ+ community and promised to suppress foreign financing from independent and non -governmental media in recent weeks as part of its campaign.
In power since 2010, Urban has strengthened a conservative Christian agenda.
The protest organizer, an independent member of Parliament, Akos Hados, wrote on Facebook: “The Law of the Waste approved by (another) on Tuesday is not only related to the prohibition of pride, but it actually allows the suppression of any form of protest in the future.”
Reuters reported at the scene that about 2000 people were participating in the protest. Opposition Party demonstrators and activists cried the momentum of “Europe” and “Filthy Fides” while trying to prevent an important bridge.
“This is not proud, it’s the freedom of meeting. They are trying to restrict the right to meet, and perhaps completely ended it,” Zsuzsa Szabo, 72, who moved from Kecskemet, East Budapest, told protest.
Last Tuesday (18), the demonstrators prevented a bridge in the center of the city of Budapest after the approval of the project in an accelerated operation.
The Liberal Budapest Mayor, Gelaly Carxon, criticized the law and members of the opposition party, which illuminates the signatures of smoke in protest at the time of voting in Parliament.
The festival organizers say that the annual pride career does not represent a threat to children and plans to keep the event despite the ban.
