Hungary: government wants to ban pride parades

The previously annual pride parades in which people demonstrate for the rights of non-heterosexual life plans are likely to be a thing of the past in Hungary. The Parliament has a law proposal by the government camp, which aims at a ban on the event.

The proposal is likely to be safe because the right -wing populist government of Viktor Orban in parliament has a two -thirds majority. It was likely that the law would already come to the vote on this Tuesday, since the parliament wants to decide on the urgent procedure. The Budapest mayor Gergely Karacony announced resistance: “There will be a pride in Budapest.” Orban had already indicated the ban in February in a speech to the nation: “The organizers of the Pride should not try to prepare this year’s move. It would be wasted time and money. ”In the event that the Pride parade would take place despite a prohibition, the initial will threaten not-finished fines at first. Due to the fine in the event of administrative offenses, media suspected that the maximum amount would be 200,000 forints (around 500 euros). According to the design, organizers and participants should be able to be punished. In order to identify participants, the use of a facial recognition software should be permitted, according to the draft. Children’s protection as a basic formal is the draft a supplement to the meeting law, which provides that meetings are not allowed to violate the Child Protection Act. The Pride parade has not yet been explicitly mentioned, but it is meant by this draft, as reported by government-related Hungarian media. Since 2021, a regulation known as the Child Protection Act has been prohibited from access to information about non-heterosexual forms of life. Corresponding books, films and other media must therefore not be accessible to minors. Councilor: Next Pride may be greater than ever to the left-wing Green Opposition Budapest Mayor Karacony wrote on Facebook: “Budapest leaves those who have and have had the courage and have, for their self-confidence, their community, their freedom and for the power of love. There will be a pride. It may be bigger than ever ”.
