Police prohibits Budapest march in Hungary, but the mayor promises it to go forward

Police banned the annual Marsh of Budapest Posthawa in Hungary this month, which called for a call from the Liberal mayor of the Hergel Caracsoni.

“The Budapest Town Hall organizes the Marsh of Budapel Posthada as a local event on June 28, the period,” the mayor promised.

This is the last turn in the cat’s confrontation and the mouse, which will lead to the Prime Minister of the Nationalist Victor Orban, the Fids government, backed by the city police, against the LGBTC community of Hungary and its supporters, with some legal support for the courts.

The annual honor march raises doubts because Orban announced that this year would not take place, and then the law restriction law was passed if they violate the laws on the protection of children to promote homosexuality.

Caracsoni said the police have no right to ban the Freedom Day organized by the City Council as an umbrella for pride, as it does not fall under the rules of freedom of the meeting.

Tens of thousands of people from Hungary and abroad are expected to take part in the June 28 event.

“They can also try to ban the unicorn procession,” the mayor wrote on Facebook.

According to the new law on meetings adopted in March, all those who identified the police as participants who use the personality recognition software can be fined from 14 to 420 pounds.

“The defense of children tries all other laws. And in this spirit we have changed the laws, we are making a policy and we will act in the future,” said Tamas Menczer Fidesz Tamas Menczer.

“Pride has nothing to do with the freedom of expression and freedom of the meeting … Pride is a festival, a festival of a certain sexual community that is not suitable for children.”

Victor Orban announced in his annual speech to the nation last February that the organizers of honor “should not be disturbed this year”. The law next month adhered to the law that restricts the right to the freedom of the assembly when it broke out for the law on the protection of children in 2021.

In order to get around it, the Rainbow Mission, which organizes honor in Hungary and other human rights groups, announced a number of events in solidarity with pride on June 28.

But they forced the authorities to guess what event the Pride would celebrate. Police attempts to ban these events were thwarted by the Supreme Court of Hungary, Curia, in two rulings so far.

Then the Mayor of Budapest appeared on June 16 with the press -secretary of the Budapest Pride, Comrade Hededus, in a joint video on Facebook, announcing his Freedom Day, with events from early morning to evening.

The central event was supposed to become a procession through the city, and the event is “not proud”, – the mayor wrote to the police.

“There will be no trucks, no dancers, no sexuality in any form.” The purpose, he said, was simply “to make the capital of the country free.”

This is how the police try to prevent, on the grounds that minor random people can witness the procession, regardless of the age of those who actually take part as they are dressed or what banners they carry.

This would violate the law on the protection of children, the police chief of Budapest claimed in the document on 16 pages issued by the police, justifying the ban.

So what will really happen on June 28?

Hungarian Helsinki Human Rights Group (HHC), advised everyone who goes this day to give up payment Any penalties in place.

They offer everyone who will receive a message on the message to ask for a personal right to appeal with the police or in court if it fails.

The more people are involved, the less likely the police will try to try this, according to HHC, as it can create a massive lag for both the police and the vessels.
