Budapest Mayor was questioned by the police as a suspect in the help of organizing a banned LGBTK march in the city.
The event took place on June 28, despite warnings on possible legal consequences of the nationalist Prime Minister Victor Orban, whose government passed the law earlier this year, banning the event.
The organizers say that despite the threats of fines, a record 200,000 people took part in the rally, which was rapidly descended into the anti -government protest.
In connection with the rainbow T -shirt with the participation of the coat of arms, the mayor of the Caracsoni, who spoke at the National Bureau of Investigation of Hungary on Friday, said to the fans: “Neither freedom nor love can be banned in Budapest.”
When accused and convicted, Caracsoni may face the year of imprisonment for organizing and encouragement in March.
“They described the accusation. I said I thought it was unjustified and that I would file a complaint against it,” said Karaxani crowd about 200 fans and journalists who gathered outside the building where he was interrogated for more than an hour.
“Neither freedom nor love can be banned in Budapest,” said the mayor who added, ‘If she cannot be banned, he cannot be punished. “
Accompanied by his lawyer Caracsoni did not answer any questions raised by investigators, and instead presented them their own statement.
The annual honor march has raised doubts since the government has adopted the law in March, which limits the meetings if they violate the laws on the protection of children for public promotion in the field of homosexuality.
This was the last measure of the Orban government aimed at the Hungary LGBTQ+ community.
In 2020, Hungary abolished its legal recognition of transgender people, and in 2021 the government passed a law that banned homosexuality up to 18 years.
Despite the ban, the mayor spoke to the defendant, promising: “The town hall Budapest organizes the Marsh of Budapel Posthada as a local event on June 28,” and claimed that police could not legally ban the municipal event.
Last month, police announced that it would not bring measures against participants who could threaten fines of up to 500 euros (£ 427; $ 586) for visiting the “Pride” parade.
However, the National Bureau of Investigation of Hungary, which is instructed to investigate serious and complex crimes, said it had initiated a probe against a “unknown criminal” accused of organizing a rally.
