'The organisers of #Budapest #Pride, which regularly attracts tens of thousands of people, said they were determined to go ahead with this year’s march on 28 June.

“This is not child protection, this is #fascism,” they said last month.'

Budapest goes 'Gray Pride' as protesters in muted tones mock Pride ban law.

On Monday, the parliament is set to vote on a constitutional amendment that would strengthen the legal foundations for the prohibition of the Pride march.

Waving gray flags, including rainbow flags turned monochromatic, more than 10,000 people joined the humorous demonstration with a serious cause in Budapest on Saturday.

In der ungarischen Hauptstadt #Budapest haben erneut tausende Menschen gegen das Verbot der jährlichen #Pride-Parade protestiert.
Wie die Nachrichtenagentur AFP schreibt, trugen dabei viele Demonstrierende aus Protest graue Kleidung. Dies sei ein bewusst gewählter Kontrast gewesen zur farbenfrohen Kleidung, die bei der Pride-Parade normalerweise getragen werde.

#Protesters rally for the fourth week against #Hungary’s law banning #LGBTQ #Pride events

The legislation, which prohibits events depicting homosexuality to those under age 18, has drawn comparisons to #Russia’s #AntiLGBTQ policies.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — "Thousands of protesters rallied for the fourth week in Hungary’s capital on Tuesday, denouncing a new law passed by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s nationalist government banning LGBTQ Pride events.

"The legislation, fast-tracked through parliament in March, prohibits events depicting #homosexuality to those under the age of 18 and has drawn comparisons to Russia’s anti-LGBTQ policies. It comes as Orbán’s administration is increasingly accused of democratic backsliding ahead of national elections next year.

"The weekly protests in #Budapest have persisted, and on Tuesday, demonstrators filled the #ErzsébetBridge over the #Danube, demanding the withdrawal of the law. Some planned to remain on the bridge throughout the night and said there were plans to shut down all five central Danube bridges.

No violence was immediately reported.

"The law makes it an offense to hold or attend events such as Pride, which some legal experts and human rights groups say is #Orbán’s latest crackdown on Hungary’s #LGBTQ community and an arbitrary restriction on the #RightToAssembly."

#Belgium would not arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin #Netanyahu if he visited the country, according to his Belgian counterpart Bart De Wever. "I don't think there is any European country that would arrest Netanyahu," he told VRT's Terzake talk show on Thursday evening.

Late last year, the International Criminal Court ( #ICC) in The #Hague issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu for alleged #warcrimes in #Gaza. Hungarian prime minister Viktor #Orban then invited him to visit #Hungary. During Netanyahu's visit to #Budapest on Thursday, Hungary announced it would withdraw from the ICC.

On Terzake, De Wever said he "understands" Orban's decision not to arrest Netanyahu. "I think we wouldn't do it either, to be quite honest." According to De Wever, no #European country would comply with the ICC arrest warrant. "There is such a thing as realpolitik," he said, adding that he did not agree with Orban's decision to withdraw from the ICC.
