Summary
Hungary’s parliament passed a law banning Pride events and allowing facial recognition to identify and fine attendees.
The legislation, backed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s party, passed 136-27 and expands Hungary’s “child protection” law, which restricts LGBTQ+ content. Amnesty International condemned it as a “full-frontal attack” on LGBTQ+ rights.
Critics argue Orbán is scapegoating minorities to distract from economic issues and boost far-right support ahead of elections.
Budapest Pride organizers vowed to proceed with their march despite fines of up to 200,000 forints (£425).
Sounds to me like Hungary is a shit hole country
Yup, Orbán lost an election in 2002, and he couldn’t cope with it. So once he became PM again in 2010 (with a landslide majority of seats), he set to making sure he’s never kicked out of power again. Now, 15 years later, Hungary has been mostly turned into an oligarchic dictatorship, the only steps he hasn’t taken yet are disappearing people and overt application of violence :/
Hungary being a bitch is basically the only reason anyone even knows about this puppet country. The trolls of Europe.
Fuck off with that.
Your device runs Neumann memory architecture. Neumann btw is the father of Game Theory. He also did plenty of calculations for the Manhattan Project as he was a genius. Not to mention the other Hungarian Scientists on that project.
Semmelweis the savior of mothers.
Szentgyörgyi the discoverer of C vitamin.
Rubik’s Cube.
Ballpoint pen.
Safety match.
Dynamo.
These are all inventions by Hungarians.
And there is plenty more, just because you are an ignorant slut doesn’t mean that Putin’s Slut is what makes Hungary Relevant.
Bro im hungarian, dont try to be an apologist. Today everyone knows about hungary for their shit. All the things you listed were invented by people who are dead/at deaths door at this point. Other thing is most of them fled from hungary before inventing those things.
Not apologist, but it’s the same as calling every single US citizen a fascist because trump
People calling for collective punishment of a whole nation are irrational. Even sanctions won’t do shit.
The problem is reach. Whatever the EU does, thanks to Orbán and his cronies owning all terrestrial media and major online publications, the opposition gets drowned out in a sea of disinfo, controlling the rural population, which is 70% of the country. Antennae television and radio stations are still big there. Budapest ALWAYS votes against Fidesz.
EU needs to dust off Radio Free Europe, and also disperse leaflets in the countryside. Spend the EU money that Hungary would have gotten on such a campaign. Focus the campaign on the state of poverty, corruption, inflation, class division, infrastructure, education and health care collapse, instead of this sham parade of their “child protection act” that they want the population (and the EU) to focus on.
Soon coming to a red state near you!
I was going to say…sounds like the USA in about three months. (Obviously trans discrimination is already here… I’m referring to the LGBQ discrimination being included.)
Already happening, LGBT Charity and Pride organizations have reported they’re not getting the usual donations from the usual suspects. When called to ask why, most of them said they literally can’t because funding Pro-LGBT Charities and Events counts as violating Anti-DEI executive orders, so legal won’t let them.
Also in Executive Orders? Segregation is legal for Federal Contractors.
That’s not quite the same though.
I doubt anyone but queer individuals ever donated to Hungary’s pride parades - if they even accept donations to begin with.
Like why would any Hungarian company ever donate to a pride parade? They all benefit from and support Orban’s corruption. Scapegoating minorities keeps their stream of money going.
The EU should finally smite that asshole down.
I wish the conspiracy theories about european weater control were true
Permanent thunderstorm for banning pride events
