After the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, prohibited the progress of pride and authorized a neo -Nazi manifestation, all eyes went to Budapest, where.
After this, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, has criticized this Sunday the march and facts that he has described as “repulsive” and has denounced that it was an act to the “orders” of Brussels supported by the “puppet” opposition.
What was observed on Saturday was “repulsive and shameful” and cited as examples the “shows of ‘drag queens’ on stage, men with heels, pamphlets on hormonal therapy, …”. It is not pride, but “shame,” he stressed on social networks. “We are fighting for the truth! Fighting against lies!” He said.
Despite the ban, some 200,000 people joined the march – according to the organizers – in a peaceful environment and without major incidents. The local press pointed out after the march that it became one of the most important human rights demonstrations in the recent history of Hungary.
Orbán has affirmed that what was seen on Saturday is a sign of what would happen in Hungary if there was no “national government that protects our sovereignty”, with consequences in areas such as immigration, public services or Ukraine and war. “Since yesterday we know with even greater certainty that we must not allow them to take the reins and we will not release them,” he said.
“No demonstration can compete with the 3.7 million voters of the 2022 gender referendum,” he argued in reference to the latest legislative elections in which the Orbán party, Fidesz, obtained 49 percent of votes.
On the other hand, the mayor of Budapest and one of the great promoters of the initiative, Gergely Karáross, has applauded the celebration of the parade in a city that he chose, this last Saturday, “La Libertad, Europe, the free world and the power of love.”
“I agree with the Prime Minister: yesterday it was clear how this country would be if they were not ruling. And we have shown it,” he added in a message on his Facebook page, accompanied by images of the event. “With the power of love, we have shown that there is life outside the system, which is more pleasant, more free and happier,” he added.
