A card resistance? Manon Aubry still attracted a rain of criticism this Thursday. “” Orban prohibits pride? We will go there. Israel blocks humanitarian aid? We provide help on a boat. Poland prohibits abortion? We bring pills to the Poles ”welcomed the rebellious MEP. On Saturday, she will participate in the Budapest pride march, despite her ban by the Hungarian government.
The event, scheduled for Saturday, June 28, was officially prohibited by the authorities. Last April, the Hungarian Parliament consolidated this ban by a constitutional amendment adopted by majority. The Minister of Justice, Bance Tuzson, even sent a warning letter to foreign MEPs: “Neither them nor their collaborators must participate in the rally”he insisted, recalling that offenders are exposed to fines of up to 500 euros, and up to a year in prison for the organizers.
A “junk resistance”
Not enough to discourage Manon Aubry. “Faced with illegitimate rules, we resist!” »»she said on social networks. In the comments under its publication on X, many Internet users point out a “Selective indignation”. “A lot of Muslim countries repress homosexuality, including by the death penalty. And you will never go there ”writes one of them. “There is also no pride or abortion in Algeria, Turkey or Iran. You should go and campaign for your rights there ”suggests another. “Iran oppresses women who refuse to wear the veil. What do you do? »»we still challenge it. “Why not go to Iran?” »»some wonder, denouncing a “Junk resistance”.
This is not the first time that the MEP LFI has been trying to interfere in the policy of other European countries, as it recalls itself in its message. At the end of April, the elected official went to Poland with the president of the rebellious deputies, Mathilde Panot, in order to distribute nearly 300 abortive pills to a pro-abortion association of Warsaw. A few days later, she had assumed this visit, ensuring that he was her “Duty of a politician to disobey against unjust laws”.
