Hungary's Clampdown on Pride March Sparks Backlash

The Orbán administration has said that the country 'should not tolerate' the public event this year.

NGOs and human rights activists in Hungary have condemned the government's proposed clampdown on this year's Pride march in Budapest.

In a speech last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán hinted that his administration would crack down on the event, saying it would be "a waste of time and money" for its organisers to make their usual preparations.

Then on Thursday, Gergely Gullyás, the Hungarian minister who runs Orbán's office, spoke more explicitly.

“There will be no Pride in the public form in which we have known it in recent decades," he said at a press conference. "We believe that the country should not tolerate Pride marching through the city centre."

Gullyás claimed the move was being made to "protect children".

Critics hit out at the government, saying the proposal was a clear breach of citizens' rights.

Viktor Szalóki, the political director of the Hungarian NGO aHang, said banning the public event would violate people's rights to free assembly and expression.

Meanwhile, the organisers of Budapest Pride, now in its 30th years, have vowed defiance.

"There was Pride, there is Pride, and there will be Pride," they said.

"Basically, we think that if the law on assembly is tampered with in any way, it would be an admission that Hungary is no longer a democracy," Zita Hrubi, the spokesperson for Budapest Pride, added.

Child protection or censorship? The legal battle between the Court of Justice of the EU and Hungary Sexual minorities have long been targeted by the Orbán government. Critics of the so-called "Child Protection Act", introduced in 2021, said it equated homosexuality with paedophilia.

Since 2019, the Hungarian constitution has prohibited same-sex couples from adopting children and defines marriage as only between a man and a woman.

Pride is a glue that keeps sin stuck to you.

I’m sure it’s a crime against humanity, to the activists, to NOT have the public pride parades.

It’s about time at least one country stood up for the LGBT nonsense.

There was a time in western civilization when the nations sought a deeper spiritual understanding and closeness to God, learning more of the inherent value of man as God’s imager and enshrining rights to honor that image.

Now these Godless small wanna be gods only want to promote and protect buggering each other and destroy anyone who would get between them and their carnal desires. Fallen indeed.

“Backlashes” are breaking out all over the place. No wonder nobody wants to work anymore.

Orban is the modern version of Kussoth; a true Hungarian hero!

He’s still pretty far to the left. He worships the EU.

NONSENSE!

He has pissed off the EU because he refuses to take ILLEGAL in...especially Muslims and for good reason, when one knows the history of Hungary, as I do.

I have NOT heard nor read Victor saying these things; however, I HAVE read many different articles from the EU, complaining about Victor and his stance on ILLEGALS ALIENS and threatening him over that, as well as other of his stances.

There are fences at Hungary's borders, he has been keeping out the riff raff, so perhaps you can at least give him kudos for that, as well as this NO PRIDE PARADE thing.

Well of course not. The gang of roving homosexuals looking for gay conquests in the streets of Sodom and Gomorrah weren't too happy with a rebuke either

IT IS SHOCKING HOW FAR THAT OLD SERPENT CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN HAS SPREAD THIS ABOMINATION ALL OVER THE PLANET


THE AMERICANS DEMOCRATS ARE DETERMINED TO DO SATAN'S WILL

They ARE working for Satan - whether they understand it or not

This is EXACTLY the kind of anti-God confusion that the Enemy likes to sow - since the days of Genesis chapter 19]

[transgender controversy]

The Democrats MUST have a direct line to
that Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan


Satan used false prophet Barack Hussein Obama to sow even more confusion upon the world
- and Obama turned the White House into an homosexual abomination before Almighty God.


Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama
is an EXCELLENT false prophet for that Old Serpent, called the Devil and Satan.


And the world just continues to fulfill Bible Prophecy - as expected

All according to Satan's plan.

June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



The Days of Lot are upon the world - just as prophesied

And Sudden Destruction is prophesied for the Days of Lot

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...
