We Should All Take Pride in National Sovereignty
The issue of Budapest Pride has raised once again the biggest question in EU politics: who rules?

The issue of Budapest Pride has raised once again the biggest question in EU politics: who rules?

Despite the expectations of the Left, who were almost hoping to face off a mounted police charge to justify the fascism narrative, the march ended without any violence.
Socialists and leftists have been one-upping each other by promising to show up to an event that is legally not taking place.
Ilaria Salis may think she’s scoring points in Brussels, but in Budapest, even the Left are distancing themselves from her controversial plans.
Visibly appearing at the Hungarian Pride parade—banned by the democratically elected Hungarian parliament with over 83% of the vote—constitutes a defense of democracy, left-wing lawmakers say.

The defense of narrowly interpreted “European values” becomes a tool to constrain the sovereignty of member states choosing alternative legislative paths.

Rejecting the calls for legal action, von der Leyen also asked commissioners not to attend the event to avoid “provoking Orbán on his own turf.”
The left-wing parties have decided in unison to disrespect the laws of a fellow EU member state and travel to Hungary in June in protest.

Conservative MEPs rally behind Budapest: “Instead of attacking Orbán, follow his example!”
