Analysis "Germany Tried to Silence Me, a UN Official, for Talking About Israel’s Genocidal War in Gaza"
~Francesca Albanese
My work was unchanged, but "the space for debate in Germany had dramatically diminished."
I witnessed "a harsh deviation from democratic values and a troubling shrinking landscape for freedom of expression and other fundamental rights."

#Hungary’s new #AntiLGBTQ+ law bans #Pride events and sparks #protests

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — "A new anti-#LGBTQ+ law banning Pride events and allowing authorities to use #FacialRecognition software to identify those attending the festivities was passed in Hungary on Tuesday, leading to a large #demonstration on the streets of #Budapest.
"Several thousand protesters chanting anti-government slogans gathered after the vote outside Hungary’s parliament. They later staged a blockade of the Margaret Bridge over the Danube, blocking traffic and disregarding police instructions to leave the area.
"The move by Hungarian lawmakers is part of a crackdown on the country’s LGBTQ+ community by the nationalist-populist party of Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán, who is an ally of Russian President #VladimirPutin and U.S. President #DonaldTrump.
"The measure, which is reminiscent of similar restrictions against sexual minorities in #Russia, was passed in a 136-27 vote. The law, supported by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their minority coalition partner the #ChristianDemocrats, was pushed through parliament in an accelerated procedure after being submitted on Monday.
"Opposing legislators led a vivid protest in the legislature involving rainbow-colored smoke bombs.
"At the protest outside parliament, Evgeny Belyakov, a Russian citizen who immigrated to Hungary after facing repression in Russia, said the legislation went at the heart of people’s rights to peacefully assemble."

"We have a shield, they don't. And they can no longer depend on the American nuclear deterrent. We need a strategic dialogue with those who don't have it, and that would make France stronger," Macron told Le Parisien newspaper.
