Budapest advertises itself as a party city. On Saturday, the party was thrown out on the street and occupied, in the burning heat of the summer, the Elizabeth Bridge, the rivers and the city center on both shores of the Danube.
From 100,000 to 200,000, mostly young people danced and sang from pests to Buddha.
The distance, which usually takes only 20 minutes, is stretched up to three hours.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ban, many participants of Budapesta told me, pushed them to attend the event, from which they usually hold on. Last year, only 35,000 participated.
Many banners mocked Hungary Prime Minister. It was like peaceful revenge by some of those who declared war over the last 15 years in power.
“In my history class, I learned enough to recognize the dictatorship. You don’t need to illustrate – Vick!” Read one banner. “I’m so sad from fascism,” I read another.
Everywhere there were T -shirts with the image of Orban, in the bright shadow for the eyelid and lipstick.
While the LGBT community with its vivid paraphernalia formed the basis of March, this year honor turned into a holiday of human rights and solidarity.
“We don’t look like that we have been banned!” In a speech before Budapest Technical University Budapest, which changed Budapest.
Today’s March can go down as a wedding moment of his political career. The town hall was starving from the means and the constant fight against the Central Government dared to hold an event that the government tried to ban, and won at least.
“In fact, we look as if we are peacefully and freely performing a big, thick show to inflated and hated strength. Karaxani continued.
Among the visitors was Finnish MEP Li Anderson, who believed that Orban uses arguments for family values as a reason to ban the march.
“It is important to emphasize that the reason we are here is not only honor is about the basic rights of all of us,” she said.
The ban was based on the new law adopted by the majority of Fides Orbana in the parliament, obeying the Freedom of the Assembly to the Law on Children in 2021, which equated homosexuality to pedophilia, and therefore forbade or promote homosexuality in places where children could see it.
Police justified the ban on Saturday to March at the sites that children could testify. In response, the mayor refers to the law, which stated that the events organized by the councils are not subject to the right of the Assembly.
In the end, police officers who attended the march continued their restrained presence, and looked mourning at the party they were expelled.
In another part of the city, Orban was present at the graduate ceremony of 162 new police and customs officials, as well as new officials of the CEO of Law Enforcement.
“The order does not arise on its own, it must be created because without its civilized life will be lost,” Orban told students and their families.
Previously, he and other outstanding Fidesz officials posted photos about themselves with their children and grandchildren to try to return the word “honor”.
“Post a picture to show them what we are proud of,” Alexander Schenkiralia, the head of the Fidesz Fortezz Fortees in Facebook, and the image of himself in a fairly simple “Hungary” T -shirt.
The presence of the police was restrained on Budapest on Saturday, but temporary cameras installed on the eve of March and installed on police cars recorded the whole event.
The law on March 18, which tried to ban the honor, gave the police new powers to use the software to recognize the individual. Finns of 14 pounds ($ 19) and 430 pounds can be imposed by a participant.
The mass media were scary in criticism of the events of the day, sounding comments, the leading politicians of Fidesz, that the march was a celebration of perversion, and nothing to do with the freedom of the meeting.
“Chaos in Budapest Pride,” the Hungarian nation, a government flagship, proclaimed.
“The notorious climatic activist and recently supporter Greto Tunberg posted on her Instagram page that she is also in Budapest,” she continued.
“After the demonstration, this will be a question for the courts,” said the BBC Zolton, a political analyst close to the government.
“If the courts decide in favor of the mayor and organizers (honor), then Orban can say: well, we must change the legislation again.”
If the courts decide on the government, however, the Prime Minister may be satisfied with the law he advanced – despite the fact that the pride was forward.
