A record number of over 100,000 people attended Budapest Pride, facing potential legal consequences from the Hungarian government. MEPs Maria Walsh and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú participated, challenging the recent ban on Pride events enacted in Hungary’s controversial "child protection" law. Walsh termed the ban a significant regression for LGBTQI+ rights, emphasizing civic duty to resist such oppression. The European Court of Human Rights previously condemned similar actions as violations of human rights, leading to calls for European Commission intervention against Hungary’s legislation targeting LGBTQI+ communities.
The Hungarian government enacted a controversial "child protection" law in 2021 prohibiting the "depiction or promotion" of homosexuality to those under 18, effectively banning Pride events.
MEP Maria Walsh described the decision to ban Pride marches in Hungary as a frightening step backwards for LGBTQI+ rights, urging Irish citizens to be on high alert.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that banning events like Pride breaches human rights protections, highlighting a broader issue of civil liberties in Hungary.
Cynthia Ní Mhurchú criticized the ban on Pride as a blatant attack on civil liberties and urged the European Commission to intervene against Hungary's anti-LGBTQ+ law.
