MTV depicted violence towards LGBTQI+ people in Hungary with Georgian footage
A couple of weeks ago, at the MTV European Music Awards gala, Viktória Radványi, one of the main organisers of the Budapest Pride received the Generation Change award for her role in the LGBTQI+ community. She later collaborated with MTV to make a video about the hardships of being an LGBTQI+ member in Hungary. However, they used footage from a different country to support their argument.
Origo writes, that the video was uploaded to MTV’s YouTube channel around the time of the MTV European Music Awards gala, on 13 November. In the video, the Budapest Pride activist talks about her experience of being a queer in Hungary.

However, in one of the scenes where Radványi is talking about how she and her girlfriend have to look over their shoulders when they walk on the streets, or the aggression some Hungarians have towards LGBTQI+ people, the MTV used footages of policemen from Georgia.
It was Kontra.hu that first wrote about the fact that MTV used a footage from a different country to enhance the emotional charge of their video as well as to suggest that Hungarians are actively oppressing and violently attacking LGBTQI+ people on the streets.
The video was up for about two weeks before people started noticing that the footage was not from Hungary. Ever since Kontra.hu wrote about the misleading use of the footage from Georgia, more and more people have noticed it and commented it under the video.

MTV did not respond to the allegations of using a footage from a different country to convey their messages. Nevertheless, they have cut that scene from the video. What remains now is a dozen of comments pointing out that the uniforms of the officers are not Hungarian uniforms and that the video is trying to misrepresent the truth to convey a message.
Many of the comments write similar things such as:
“Footage of the street violence is from Georgia, not Hungary.”
“In this video the MTv showed some footage of the street violence from Georgia, but this video is about Hungary! After angry comments, the MTv cut out the problematic footage silently.”
According to Origo, MTV did not apologize for using the Georgian footage to depict Hungary. However, there are still some footages left in the video that depict real Hungarian policemen protecting and guarding the Budapest Pride.

Western media lying about Hungary? Why, I never would have thought about that! /s
We are depicted in negative way even when there’s retraction for the ones who heard believe
WESTERN NEWS == FAKE NEWS
We don’t want these LGBTQI+ perverts feed their lies and propaganda to Hungarian children.
That speaks well of how low the image and reputation of Hungary sank under Orban’s illiberal regime. Vote him out, before it is too late.
Istvan – sums it up.
Hungarian children – being FEED on lies and propaganda.
This should be looked at Abusing our Children, trying to “brain wash” them, through the use of Propaganda.
Hungary – this is why Brussels and the LGBTQ – are growing in there FRUSTRATION & Behaviour – because our Government are having the guts and forsight seeing that if this PROPAGANDA is not ceased by the use of Law, it will grow and continue to erode deeper into main core components of society that we know to-day.
Children – allowing them – with Family guidance, love & support – that permits them to form and decide in there lives going forward there views on Sex and there choice of life by Sexuality.
Propaganda – being used in this highly sensitive and deeply emotional topic – may our Government continue to stand firm, by the use of Law – to clean it up.
Many hate crimes are fabricated.
They do not have real hate they can use as evidence.
That is the weakness of their position.
If it were not for the dishonest media, we would laugh at their claims.
Fake-news western media tried to cover-up this one -:)
Gay black actor staged a fake hate crime against himself
Chicago police have officially announced that the black gay actor Jussie Smollett is a suspect in the “hate crime” attack against himself, which they now say it was a hoax that the actor himself had arranged.
It happens a lot.
