#Hungary’s new #AntiLGBTQ+ law bans #Pride events and sparks #protests

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — "A new anti-#LGBTQ+ law banning Pride events and allowing authorities to use #FacialRecognition software to identify those attending the festivities was passed in Hungary on Tuesday, leading to a large #demonstration on the streets of #Budapest.

"Several thousand protesters chanting anti-government slogans gathered after the vote outside Hungary’s parliament. They later staged a blockade of the Margaret Bridge over the Danube, blocking traffic and disregarding police instructions to leave the area.

"The move by Hungarian lawmakers is part of a crackdown on the country’s LGBTQ+ community by the nationalist-populist party of Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán, who is an ally of Russian President #VladimirPutin and U.S. President #DonaldTrump.

"The measure, which is reminiscent of similar restrictions against sexual minorities in #Russia, was passed in a 136-27 vote. The law, supported by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their minority coalition partner the #ChristianDemocrats, was pushed through parliament in an accelerated procedure after being submitted on Monday.

"Opposing legislators led a vivid protest in the legislature involving rainbow-colored smoke bombs.

"At the protest outside parliament, Evgeny Belyakov, a Russian citizen who immigrated to Hungary after facing repression in Russia, said the legislation went at the heart of people’s rights to peacefully assemble."

"That sparked a tweet from former #ChristianDemocrats chair and interior minister Päivi Räsänen, whose conservative party is in the cabinet. She asked: "With whose permission and decision did the Council of State participate in the Helsinki Pride 2023 event?"

In a reply, #Adlercreutz said: "Naturally, the Council of State participates in an event that supports equality."

"Anders #Adlercreutz was part of a delegation from the #SwedishPeoplesParty that marched in the parade. He also marched with a group carrying a banner reading Council of State, i.e., the government."
