Hungarian prosecutors loyal to dictator Viktor Orban on Wednesday charged Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony for his role in organizing and leading last June’s LGBTQ+ Pride parade that went off in defiance of the regime’s ban, CNN reports on some sour grapes and butthurt from Little Vik.
“The prosecution has filed charges and wants to impose a financial penalty on me without a court hearing, simply because we held the largest freedom march of the past decades. The fact that hundreds of thousands of people came, that you came, turned that day into an unforgettable miracle,” Karacsony said in a statement, adding “Despite every threat and every punishment, I will fight it – because when people who want to live, to love, to be happy are simply betrayed by their own country, betrayed by their government, resistance is a duty.” It’s not clear what penalties the mayor faces for his defiance of the regime’s DeSantis-like crackdown attempts.
