Hungary transmits constitutional amendment for Ban LGBTQ public events star-news.press/wp

Budapest, Hungary – Hungary Monday has made an amendment to the government prohibitives to the LGBTQ communities, the decision to call legal scholars and critics another step towards the authoritarian of the populist government.

The amendment, which required two-thirds of the voice, forwarded along the party lines with 140 votes for and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling coalition of Fidesz-KDNP led by the Populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Before voting – the final step for the change – opposition politicians and other protesters tried to block the entrance to the parking parliament. The police physically removed protesters, who used the zip connections to bind together.

The amendment declares that children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development replace any right except for life, including peace. Hungarian disputes “child protection” prohibits “the” display or promotion “homosexuality of minors over the age of 18.

The amendment codifies the law quickly followed by parliament in March, which prohibit public events held by LGBTQ communities, including a popular pride event in Budapest that draws thousands a year.

This law also enables the authorities to use people to recognize persons to identify people who attend prohibited events – such as Budapest Pride – and can reach fines up to 200,000 Hungarian forints ($ 546).

Dávid Bedő, the legislator with the female opposition swing that participated in the attempted blockade, said that Orbán and Fidness in the last 15 years “democracy and the rule of law, and in the last two or three months we see that the process has accelerated.”

He said as an election approach in 2026. years, and the Orbán party lags behind the polls behind the popular new challenger from the opposition, “they will make everything in their power to stay in power.”

Opposition legislators used air horns to disrupt the voting, which continued after a few moments.

In recent years, the Hungarian government has moved against the LGBTQ communities and claims its policy protection policies, which prohibit the availability of any material that mentions homosexuality, that for the protection of children from what is called “gender madness”.

Critics say that the measures make up a bit to protect children and are used to deter more serious problems facing the country and mobilizes Orbáns’s right.

“This is the whole effort he sees, it has nothing to do with children’s rights,” said Danel Döbrentey, a lawyer with the Hungarian union of civil liberties, calling him “pure propagation.”

The Constitution recognizes two sexes

The new amendment also states that the Constitution recognizes two sexes, male and female, the spread of an earlier amendment that prohibits the same-own adoption by stating that the mother is a woman and his father is a man.

The statement provides a constitutional basis for denial of transgender people, as well as neglect of the existence of intersex individuals born with sexual characteristics that do not harmonize with binary conceptions of male and female.

In the Monday Statement, the Zoltán Kovács portpanist wrote that the change “is not an attack on individual self-expression, but a clarification that legal norms are based on biological reality.”

Döbrentey, lawyer, said “clear message” for transgender and intersex people: “It is definitely both purely and strictly and strictly due to the national community, but also from the community of human beings.”

The amendment is 15. in the Constitution of Hungary since Orbán’s Party, the author and approved the 2011. Years.

Facial recognition for the identification of the demonstrators

Ádám Remport, lawyer with HCLU, while Hungary used the Face Recognition Tools from 2015. to help police in criminal investigations and finding the missing law enables technology in a much broader and problematic way. This includes monitoring and deterring political protests.

“One of the most basic problems is its invasiveness, just a pure scale of intrusion that happens when you apply mass surveillance in the crowd,” ReMport said.

“The bent in this case is the effect of the Freedom of the Assembly, a particularly cool effect that occurs when people are afraid to come out and show their political or ideological beliefs for fear,” he added.

Citizenship suspension

The amendment passed on Monday, also allows Hungarians who hold dual citizenship in non-European countries to economic areas to have their citizenship for up to 10 if they are considered to be a threat to public order, public safety or national security.

Hungary has taken steps in the last months to protect their national sovereignty from what claims that foreign efforts are influenced by its policy or even crashed Orbán government.

The self-prescribed “iliberal” leader accelerated his long-term efforts to shoot critics like media and groups dedicated to civil rights and anti-corruption, which ordered Hungarian sovereignty by receiving the financial assistance of international donors.

In speech with conspiracy theories in March, Orbán is compared to people who work for such insect groups and “eliminate the entire shadow of the shade of politicians, judges, journalists, pseudo-non-governmental organizations and political activists.”
