Opponents of the new law ignited colored smoke bombs inside the Hungarian parliament in a bid to disrupt the vote

The Hungarian parliament has passed a law that effectively bans LGBTQ pride events nationwide. Opposition members attempted to derail the vote on Tuesday by setting off smoke bombs within the chamber.

Passed in a 136-27 vote, the law broadens an existing ban on exposing minors to LGBTQ-themed content to encompass public assemblies. It also grants police the authority to film attendees for identification. Participants of outlawed gatherings face potential fines exceeding $500 under the new regulations.

The legislation was fast-tracked through an expedited process just a day after its introduction. Support came primarily from the ruling Fidesz party and its minority coalition partner, the Christian Democrats.

Véletlenül kaptam ezt a felvételt, szépen lehet látni kik dobálták fentről a cetliket. Remélem meg lesznek bűntetve. Érdekes hogy most gyülekezik az Antifa a Margit hídnál, arról tud valaki valami konkrétumot? pic.twitter.com/MLekMF1rLV
