Heute – beim Wandern durch die Donauauen von Bratislava – ist uns am hellichten Tag ein Fuchs begegnet. Als er uns gesehen hat, tat er so, als wäre die Route von uns weg immer schon sein Plan gewesen. Ohne Eile und mit gemütlichem Schritt. Ich hatte noch nie einen Fuchs so nah vor meinen Augen. Was für ein Erlebnis!

#Protesters rally for the fourth week against #Hungary’s law banning #LGBTQ #Pride events

The legislation, which prohibits events depicting homosexuality to those under age 18, has drawn comparisons to #Russia’s #AntiLGBTQ policies.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — "Thousands of protesters rallied for the fourth week in Hungary’s capital on Tuesday, denouncing a new law passed by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s nationalist government banning LGBTQ Pride events.

"The legislation, fast-tracked through parliament in March, prohibits events depicting #homosexuality to those under the age of 18 and has drawn comparisons to Russia’s anti-LGBTQ policies. It comes as Orbán’s administration is increasingly accused of democratic backsliding ahead of national elections next year.

"The weekly protests in #Budapest have persisted, and on Tuesday, demonstrators filled the #ErzsébetBridge over the #Danube, demanding the withdrawal of the law. Some planned to remain on the bridge throughout the night and said there were plans to shut down all five central Danube bridges.

No violence was immediately reported.

"The law makes it an offense to hold or attend events such as Pride, which some legal experts and human rights groups say is #Orbán’s latest crackdown on Hungary’s #LGBTQ community and an arbitrary restriction on the #RightToAssembly."

Buda Castle is a historic palace complex in Budapest, Hungary. It was originally built in the 13th century and has since undergone multiple reconstructions due to wars, fires, and changing architectural styles. The castle sits on Castle Hill (Várhegy) and offers stunning panoramic views of the Danube River and Pest.

First built in 1265 by King Béla IV to defend against Mongol invasions. It was expanded and renovated during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus (15th century) and later saw major Baroque-style reconstruction in the 18th century under Habsburg rule. Nowadays, Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd) is one of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks. It was the first permanent bridge to connect Buda and Pest across the Danube River, playing a crucial role in uniting the two sides of the city.

The Chain Bridge is built between 1842 and 1849, designed by William Tierney Clark and constructed by Adam Clark (no relation), and it symbolized Hungary’s modernization and economic growth in the 19th century. The bridge was blown up by retreating German forces in 1945 and later rebuilt in 1949, on its 100th anniversary.

The stone lions at each end of the bridge, sculpted by János Marschalkó, are famous. A local legend humorously claims that the lions have no tongues (but they actually do). At night, the bridge is beautifully illuminated, offering spectacular views of Buda Castle, Parliament, and the Danube.
