The Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, recently announced in an interview that “gay pride” parades will no longer take place in Budapest. “We have not yet been infected with the gender fever, although we are under immense pressure from the Western world” he stated in an interview with the Kossuth radio station. He added that the US ambassador, who had previously led the Budapest Pride march, had already left the country, thus the event is no longer under international protection and will not take place.
David Pressman, the former US ambassador to Hungary, who has publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, left the country in January. The US has not yet appointed a new ambassador. The faction leader of the Hungarian government’s Fidesz party, Máté Kocsis, wrote on Facebook at the time that Pressman had organized and financed parties aiming to bring down the sovereign government of Hungary and that the former ambassador had initiated protests in the country.
Gergely Gulyás, the Chancellor of the Hungarian Prime Minister, announced at a recent event in Budapest that the government will submit several proposals for changing the Hungarian constitution. The constitution will be amended to state that “there are two genders: female and male” he said.
Earlier, Gulyás reported that Orbán had tasked Fidesz-Europe MP András László with investigating the US Agency for International Development (USAID) foreign financing programs in Hungary. The Chancellor described the case as “the largest corruption scandal in the Western world.”
The ruling coalition of Christian Democrats and the Fidesz party plans to submit legislative proposals and possibly even constitutional amendment proposals to the parliament within a few weeks, aiming to combat foreign interference in public affairs, Gulyás emphasized.
