Venice Commission Delegation Meets with President of the Republic in Budapest
The Venice Commission indicated that it was ready to urgently discuss the Hungarian President’s submission regarding the constitutional crisis in Hungary.

The Venice Commission indicated that it was ready to urgently discuss the Hungarian President’s submission regarding the constitutional crisis in Hungary.

The spoiled EP debate would have allowed concerns to be voiced about the constitutional amendments proposed by the new Hungarian government.

Balázs Orbán says Péter Magyar’s government is following the same playbook as Donald Tusk in Poland, using state power to weaken conservative institutions while Brussels looks the other way.

The Commission president claimed LGBT people can now march “without fear,” even though Budapest Pride took place every year throughout Orbán’s time in office.

Balázs Orbán, the former political director of Viktor Orbán praised the Polish President’s move to host his Hungarian counterpart as a vital sovereigntist pushback against external liberal attacks.

Nationalist politicians have rallied behind the man who removed Progress Pride flags from Budapest’s Elisabeth Bridge, arguing that the punishment is wildly disproportionate.

The 58-year-old man who threw Pride rainbow flags into the Danube from a bridge in central Budapest said he did it for the future of Hungarian children.

“Instead of a foreign ideology imported from abroad, we proclaim patriotism and that we Hungarians have plenty to be proud of,” Our Homeland said.

A Council of Europe deputy was informed that the Budapest visit of the Venice Commission had to be postponed—because the Tisza administration declined to receive the delegation.

Over the weekend, Pride flags went up on the city’s central Elizabeth Bridge ahead of the Budapest Pride Parade on June 27th, only to be thrown into the Danube by a dissenter.
