Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~

Obama Lashes Out At Trump's ‘Lie and Confuse’ Strategy, Warns Plan to Turn US Into a Dictatorship

Former President Barack Obama has issued a stark warning about the direction of U.S. democracy, accusing Donald Trump and his allies of weakening democratic norms and echoing authoritarian tactics. Speaking at an event in Connecticut and in a separate interview, Obama compared the U.S. to nations like Hungary and Russia, where elections happen but leaders ignore the people’s voice. He urged judges, officials, and citizens to protect the Constitution and reject misinformation, warning that when truth is lost, dictatorship begins to take root. #TrumpVsObama #TrumpInauguration #ObamaInauguration #ObamaTrump #TrumpNews #ObamaSpeech #TrumpRally #AngryObama #DonaldTrump #BarackObama #TrumpThirdTerm #TrumpFourthTerm #MelaniaTrump #MichelleObama #TrumpAdministration #PresidentTrump #PresidentObama #TrumpImpression #TrevorNoahTrump #ObamaJokes #DailyShowTrump #TrumpPresidency #TrumpTariffs #ObamaMeyers #ObamaVsTrump #TrumpLatest #TrumpCorrespondents #TrumpComparison #TrumpVsObamaCrowds #TrumpVsObamaPolicies Also Read Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Hungary Sounds WW3 ALARM Over New Support For Ukraine | Putin Warns Europe Will ‘Pay The Price’

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has issued a stark warning: Ukraine joining NATO could spark a global war with Russia. Echoing Putin’s recent threats, Orbán says NATO expansion is a direct risk to peace in Europe. Hungary's foreign minister reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine's membership “impossible.” As NATO leaders push for more defense spending to counter Russia, divisions within the alliance deepen. While Europe arms up, Hungary distances itself—fearing the next move could ignite World War 3. #Hungary #NATO #Ukraine #WW3 #WorldWar3 #Putin #Russia #ViktorOrban #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #NATOExpansion #Orbán #GlobalRisk #NATOSummit #EU #DefenseSpending #RussiaNATO #NATOWarning #EuropeanPolitics #MilitaryTensions #NATOvsRussia #UkraineNATO #GlobalCrisis #WarThreat Also Read This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~
