On Monday, Hungarian lawmakers approved controversial constitutional amendments by the ruling Fidesz party that target the LGBTQ community. The changes include a ban on Pride events and a definition of gender as only male or female, citing the protection of children's rights as a priority over other fundamental rights. Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended these measures, claiming they prevent 'woke ideology' from endangering children. The amendments, perceived as a crackdown on LGBTQ rights, have sparked protests, highlighting tensions between traditional values and modern social movements in Hungary.
The amendments included a ban on Pride events and added a provision stating that individuals can only be male or female, reflecting the ruling party's populist approach.
Orban emphasized that the safety of children is paramount, stating, 'We won't let woke ideology endanger our kids,' as justification for these constitutional changes.
The Fidesz party argued that protecting children's rights for their development takes precedence over all other fundamental rights, excluding the right to life.
Orban's remarks imply that traditional norms are under threat, stating, 'Normal people like us are under constant provocation' by non-traditional sexual behaviors.
