Budapest Liberal Mayor Defies Orbán’s Hungarian Child Protection Law That Bans Public LGBT Events, Sets up Confrontation by Confirming ‘Pride March’ Is To Take Place

Conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán implements his nationalistic, pro-family agenda despite the uproar in the Liberal-Globalist European establishment.

As you can read in the February post Hungarian Government Under Orbán Chases ‘Gay Pride’ Away From Budapest’s Streets To Protect the Children – Event Must Be Held Indoors at a ‘Closed Space’:

“Now, emboldened by the historic return of his long-time ally Donald J. Trump and by the growing surge of right-wingers and populists in the continent, Orbán is unleashing his policies ever more strongly, to the absolute dismay of the USAID-media.

Yesterday, it arose that this year’s edition of Hungary’s ‘Budapest Gay Pride’ will have to be held in a ‘closed venue’ rather than parading along central Budapest as it previously did.

According to Orban’s Chief of Staff, the measure will be undertaken to better implement child protection.”

Orbán’s Fidesz party approved the legislation, but, of course, there is pushback from the liberal pockets in Hungarian society that are cheered on by the MSM.

So, while police have banned the annual Budapest ‘Pride march’ in late June, the liberal Mayor Gergely Karacsony is defiant.

BBC reported:

“’Budapest city hall will organize the Budapest Pride march as a local event on 28 June, Period’, vowed the mayor.

It’s the latest twist in a cat-and-mouse confrontation which pits nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz government, backed by the city police, against Hungary’s LGBTQ community and its supporters, with some legal backing from the courts”

Karacsony invented a ‘Day of Freedom’ organized by the Budapest city council to cover for the ‘Pride march’, and insists that ‘it does not come under the rules on freedom of assembly’.

“’They might as well try to ban a procession of unicorns’, the mayor wrote on Facebook.

Under the new law on gatherings, passed in March, all those identified by the police as participants using facial recognition software could be fined between £14 and £420.”
