Radical Party to Counter Budapest Pride March with 'Family Pride'
The radical opposition Our Homeland party will organise a full day's programme dubbed "Family Pride" to counter this year's Budapest Pride March, party leader Laszlo Toroczkai said on Friday.

Toroczkai said his party's event would take place one week after the march "to give a positive answer to an event organised by the strongest LGBTQ lobby in the world".

The politician urged European counterparts to hold similar events "to promote families based on traditional male-female roles, childbirth, and protection of children and Christians".

According to Torczkai, "the largest ever Pride can be expected" to take place on June 27, "a feast of immorality" and "spectacles not seen for a very long time".

He also suggested that the venue of Our Homeland's event had not been approved by the police yet. He added that "Budapest Pride cannot be lawfully held without changing current rules" and pledged to file a criminal complaint "unless parliament takes measures".
