Nationalist Party Challenges Police After Liberty Bridge Blockade

Anti-Pride protesters from the Our Homeland Movement marching on Liberty Bridge

Although the Our Homeland Movement (Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) successfully prevented the “LMBTQP propaganda parade” on the Liberty Bridge, the police “illegally blocked” the party’s other similar occupation of the area, therefore they are filing a complaint against the police, the opposition party’s vice president said.

Előd Novák recalled that the Our Homeland Movement had a legally registered and officially approved rally on Szent Gellért rakpart, but the police did not allow the party’s activists onto the Liberty Bridge because of the Budapest Pride march.

Today, the right of assembly was violated only for those who support normality,”

said the opposition politician, noting that the police action was rewarded with shouts of “Well done, boys!” from the illegal marchers.

Előd Novák emphasized that the party closed off the Liberty Bridge in a non-violent manner, passive resistance, and that they would have expected the police to prevent the legally banned march, but in the end, “the police only took action against people like us,” he said.

In his statement, the vice president of the Our Homeland Movement called the removal of the “deviants” from Andrássy Avenue and the Liberty Bridge a symbolic victory, saying that the movement had not backed down from the world’s most powerful lobby group.

After PM Orbán’s grandiose speeches, Fidesz has once again given up on defending normality. They are making fools of themselves by passing a law that they do not intend to enforce,”

he said, adding that the government’s conservative and child protection policies had finally collapsed.

Tény, hogy Orbán Viktor pár hónapja azt ígérte, hogy idén nem lesz Budapesten “pride”, “ne is bajlódjanak a szervezéssel”.

Tény, hogy a Fidesz végül összehozta minden idők legnagyobb “pride”-ját.

The government has bowed down to the homosexual lobby, and the Tisza Party has also backed down and joined the LGBTQP grand coalition, he believes.

The vice president of the Our Homeland Movement emphasized that the bridge blockade organized jointly with the Sixty-Four Counties Youth Movement (Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom- HVIM) was not an event or a demonstration, but “more of a flash mob, a performance, a matter of honor” for them.
