Fidesz MP Demands Banning Of Budapest Pride
Deputy Fidesz caucus leader István Boldog took the opportunity to call for a ban on the annual Pride parade during general debate on media legislation in Parliament on Thursday.

Declaring that “children should be protected from sexual and other aberrations,” he asked MPs to “do everything in their power so that the next Pride march cannot be a public event”.

“What everyone does between four walls is up to them,” Boldog said, “their argument is not with me, but nature. But if you worry for your children then would you be so kind as to ensure that our kids will not see half-naked people on the streets?

Because if anything results in bad things, brings bad thoughts to children, then I think it is this.” 

This year’s Pride parade takes place on July 6.

    The Tisza Party launched a nationwide leaflets campaign on the weekend, setting forth its tax reduction plans in response to a Fidesz campaign accusing Tisza of planning to raise taxes. Fidesz will send four million leaflets carrying this message to Hungarian households, twice as many as the two million copies of the Tisza publication. Magyar said that they will reach all Hungarian settlements with “the truth” before October 23. Fidesz caucus leader Máté Kocsis announced on Saturday that by October 1 four million leaflets will be sent out about the Tisza Party’s “tax-raising plans”. These will be relayed to all mailboxes with the help of 10,000 volunteers, he added.
