Police banned Budapest Pride March in Hungary, but the Mayor vows it to be ahead

Police forbidden the annual Budapert in Hungary in March later this month, which prompts an objectionable response from liberal Mayor Mayor Gergely Karactonony.

“The Budapest City Hall organizes Budapest Pride March as a local event in June 28, period,” promise the Mayor.

This is the latest twist in a cat-and-mouse compromise that leads the Government of the Prime Minister of Nationalist Viktor Community and the supporters of the courts.

The annual pride march has been in doubt since orban announced in february that it would not take place this year, and a law was then passed restricting gatherings if they broke child protection laws on public promotion of homosexuality.

Karactony says no right to ban a “freedom” day is organized by the City Council as an umbrella event for pride in freedom of accumulation.

Tens of thousands of people from Hungary and abroad are expected to participate in 28 June activities.

“They can also try to ban a procession of unicorns,” The Mayor wrote on Facebook.

Under new assembly law, passed in March, all the police known as participants using the face identification software can be fined between £ 14 and 420.

“Protection of children desires all other laws. And in spirit we have changed the laws, we make politics, and we act on the chief Samas Menczer tells news on portal 444.

“Pride has nothing to do with the freedom of expression or freedom of assembly … pride is a party, the festival of a sexual community, which children should not see.”

Viktor Ohan announced his annual state of speaking in February that proud organizers “don’t have to regret this year”. It follows the next month by a law that prevents the right of freedom of accumulation, if it falls 2021 child protection law.

In order for the Follob Mistion Fouatiordo, organizing the pride of Hungary, and other human rights groups, announced in a series of Christmas events.

But they kept the authorities what event marked the pride himself. The police try to ban the events that the Supreme Court failed in Hungary, Curia, in two judgments so far.

The Budapest Mayor immediately appeared on 16 June with Budapest Pride, Mate Hedus, in a joint video on Facebook, announcing their day of freedom, with events from early morning.

The central event is a procession by city and event “is not pride”, written by the police mayor.

“No trucks, no dancers, no sexuality in any form.” The goal, he kept, simply “to get rid of the country’s capital”.

That’s what the police try, on the grounds that undergers who quit the procession, regardless of the people who share people, how they wear, or what flags they carry.

That is the violation of the child’s protection law, Budapest Police Chief Tamas Tamas argues, a 16-page document issued by the police, the prohibition has been blocked.

So what happens on 28 June?

Human Rights Group The Hungarian Helsinki Committee (HHC), advised anyone to go to the day to refuse to pay any on-the-spot fines.

They recommend anyone receiving an announcement by posting to ask for an in-person right to appeal to police, or in court if that fails.

The more people who share, it’s not very likely that the police try to try it, HHC argue, because it can make a lot of backlog for police and courts.
