In the run-up to the forbidden Budapest proud, the Austrian greens called for a complete stop of all EU payments to Hungary. The limitation of the right strange people must have financial consequences – and have an uprising.
Homophobic politics of the Hungarian government is not “disagreements,” Green European spokeswoman Meri Disoski told journalists in Vienna on Wednesday. “These are violations of fundamental rights.” As long as Hungary concerns fundamental human rights, “should not flow from Brussels to Hungary”.
“If you want to weaken democracy, you almost always start with the minorities. This has an impact on real people such as Stögmüller and I colleagues,” said the queer politician in a joint press conference with the green LGBTIQ*spokesperson David Stögmüller. “I imagine how I would have felt in my first pride in this climate. I wanted to go hand in hand with my girlfriend and then the government says: we don’t want to see you, hide your love,” she said.
“The first pride was a rebellion,” she referred to the Stonewall riots from 1969 in New York, the start of the LGBTIQ movement. “Given this repression, this motto applies more than ever this year,” said Disoski.
Greens want to participate in pride
Just like Stögmüller, she wants to participate in the Budapest -Trots on Saturday. As he reported on request, around 50 green parliamentary members from different European countries have announced. Liberals and social -democratic politicians also want to travel. According to the MEPS Lena Schilling, the EU-Greens are already planning a protest on Friday in the city center of Budapest.
Disoski and Stögmüller pointed out that Austria could have taken a similar development under an FPö channeling. So it remained in parliament building during the pride month “in the true sense of the word Dark” because the national council chairman Walter Rosenkranz (FPö) relieved lighting in rainbow colors against the will of the four other parties, Stögmüller said.
Instead of following the parliamentary majority, Rosenkanz received a “understanding of office as a party soldier” and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as the first guest in parliament.
