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.

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.
