Budapest Pride expected to be a rallying cry against Orbán’s rollback of rights | Hungary

A record number of people are expected to participate in the pride of Budapest on Saturday, and the Hungarians combine their forces with campaignists and politicians all over Europe, which makes the Hungarian government a strong symbol of return to the return of the stable rights of the government.

Hadja Equality Commissioner Hadja Lahbib told journalists in the Hungarian capital on Friday, “All eyes this weekend in Budapest,” he said. “This is greater than a celebration of pride, a pride is greater than March. Who you are, the right to love who you are, whether in Budapest, Brussels or elsewhere.”

The country’s main pride march felt doubtful after the country’s right -wing populist Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party, which forms a legal basis for the prohibition of pride, has been widely criticized to protect children. The government also said that it would use face recognition software to describe the participants in prohibited activities and will potentially give up to € 500 (425 £).

The movement led to anger from Hungary, a screaming screaming against a long -term criticism in order to weaken the pride of Budapest, democratic institutions and gradually weaken the rule of law.

Lahbib said the EU was standing next to LGBTQ+ people. “It is a basic value to gather peacefully, to love who you are and who you want,” he said. “These are the basic values ​​that the next generations build bricks from bricks and we will not allow any regression from one of our member states.”

This year, the Budapest Pride organizers will celebrate the 30th anniversary, said the government is trying to restrict peaceful protests by targeting peaceful protests. “This event was one of the important milestones of the LGBTQ community, Mát said Spokesman Máté Hedgedüs. “We are at home this year. We want to draw attention to the fact that the Hungarian community of LGBTQ is an integral part of the Hungarian society, just like other people.

However, hours before the start of the march, the uncertainty about how the authorities would react.

While Orbán said that those who participated or organizes the march will face “legal consequences ,, and that Hungary is a“ civilized country ve and that the police would not “reach the level of physical abuse”.

Nicolae ștefĂnuțț Vice President of the European Parliament called on Friday to respect the participants. “I want to say that the police and institutions of the state are obliged to protect citizens,” he said. “As clear as possible.”

Emotion echoed A petitionSigned by more than 120,000 people covering 73 countries, the police called on the first example of the EU’s first species, which he believed in the first example of his genre, to reject this unjust law ve and the march savuy unhindered and peaceful, discrimination, harassment, fear or violence.

Despite the uncertainty, tens of thousands of Hungarian areas are expected to participate. To join them, Ireland’s former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Spanish Minister of Culture, Ernest Irtasun, European Parliament will be more than 70 members of the European Parliament, and more than 30 politicians and rights campaigns from more than 30 countries, including Mayors of Brussels and Amsterdam.

European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen participated in the calls of the Hungarian officials to allow the event to continue this week. Orbán was fast to return, similar to taking orders from Moscow in communist times. “He thinks he can dictate how to live from Brussels to Hungarians,” he said.

Both internal and international widespread return had done very little to deter him the Hungarian government. This week, I think Tuzson, the Minister of Justice of the country, warned the embassy personnel to participate in the event.

In a letter by Guardian, he said, “Legal situation is clear: the pride parade is a legally prohibited assembly,” he said. Bulurlar Those who participate in an event prohibited by the authorities make a violation ,, and those who organize or announce the event in prison up to one year.

Budapest’s progressive Mayor Gergely Karácsony said that the meeting would continue as a municipal event instead, that is, it would not require official permission.

Márta from the Hungarian Helsinki committee, a human rights organization, said that it was a “extraordinary scenario”. “Currently, the legal situation is quite uncertain – it is unclear whether the police banned the police or whether there will be another type of event, as the Mayor Karácsony speaks.”

The NGO combined a question for the event -the other two organizations to produce the answer, and whether the risk of being expelled from their jobs, and fined, could not endanger and endanger the university entrance or foreign travel. The organizations also promised to provide judicial assistance to the participants who were fined.

Pardavi said that complex issues were three counter marches planned by groups with extreme ties on Saturday. “This means that there will be many people with many different views on the streets,” he said.

Analysts described the government’s stance against the government as another movement in the return of LGBTQ+ rights, which lasted for years. However, this time, Orbán faces an unprecedented challenge from an former member of the Fidesz Party’s elite Péter Magyar before the elections, and causes organizers to argue that Orbán is confused to increase support among conservative voters.

The widespread view directed the Hungarians to participate in the event of Saturday from all walks of life, including many people who have never been walking before.

“It is an choice among a group of academicians from the University of Loránd in Budapest among a group of academicians,“ They fear that they fear that they fear they fear that they fear they will fear. ”

“I am very worried that my house is in a orbit that will lead to fascism,” he said. “However, if the country’s mood is turning and restoring Hungarian democracy, it may be a model for other countries trying to overcome authoritarianism.”

In the meantime, approximately 50 organizations called for EU officials to launch a violation procedure against Hungary, which said that the participants would be used in real -time face recognition. If so, the EU would be a “notable violation ın of the recently adopted Artificial Intelligence Law, Letter was noted. Hungarian officials have not yet published details of how to deploy technology.

“Hungary’s use of face recognition to surveillance of pride events points to a worrying change in how new technologies can be used to target the opposition and marginal communities. He said in a statement. He said that “peaceful meetings are faced with a dangerous precedent, by undermining invasive and civil freedoms”.
