VIDEO: Government will shut down Sziget Festival due to LGBTQ propaganda?
After the attacks of the government-close media empire, Bence Rétvári, the deputy interior minister of Hungary, also slammed Budapet’s world-known Sziget Festival. The reason was the LGBTQ propaganda present at the festival and its ads. Earlier, the government commissioner, who owns a large chunk of the land where the festival takes place, raised the possibility of a permanent shut down.
As we reported in April, Szilárd Demeter, the leader of the Petőfi Cultural Agency and owner much of the territory where the Sziget festival is held annually, said when he might cease supporting the event. First, it should remain a pop-cultural mass event instead of a festival. Secondly, it should remain affordable for Hungarians. But both are very subjective. For example, most food and drink items on the menus aren’t affordable by local visitors, even though Sziget introduced a number of budget-friendly options. We detailed the issue in THIS article. Furthermore, we garnered HERE the best cheap eats on this year’s Sziget.
It appears, the government opened a new front against the festival this week. The government-close media empire controlled by the KESMA foundation attacked the rainbow “video spots” of the festival. They assert that the organisers should have applied age-rating since some scenes depict homosexual couples kissing. Bence Rétvári, Hungary’s deputy interior minister, continued the attack the festival on its opening day, on Thursday, in the following Facebook post:
LGBTQ content in Sziget ad
Rétvári condemned the video spot, which was shared four months ago, due to its opening shot that shows a lesbian couple sharing a kiss. Mr Rétvári believes Sziget’s foreign owners intentionally provoke the conservatives in Hungary. However, while serving the LGBTQ lobby, they harm even sexual minorities by selling them out for profit. Here is the video he complained about:

He raised the question that if Hungary was a dictatorship – as many Western media and politicians state – why would anybody name Budapest’s Sziget the island of freedom? He also added that they were happy about Sziget’s presence in the Hungarian festival scene and the international reputation this massive event enjoyed. He suggested foreigners come to Sziget Festival in Hungary because this state is the last home of freedom.
Blikk wrote KESMA media outlets attacked the festival because of a TikTok video in which two young guys are snogging. They added minors could be easily exposed to such irresponsible content. Therefore, it has to be age-rated. However, Áron Demeter, a lawyer for Amnesty International, believes Hungary’s children’s protection law does not apply to such video spots since they are only available on the social media.
Orbánistan: back to the Middle Ages.
What did Hungarians expect? Foreign owners, exploding a festival like that. It will be used to push the liberal left agenda in Hungary.
This liberal left decadent “festival” should be banned, and a new Hungarian owned music cultural event should take it place.
The government has a moral responsibility to God and the Hungarians.
World renown Folsom steet fair in SF is also this month. Hardcore sex is on display for those who attend- this is not some island, it a Main Street closed off forthe event. Doesn’t matter what the owners of the island think- the US media will be sure you will submit or they will destroy you and the EU media will make sure you fall in line. Drug discount will be available along with bong pipes. The US ambassador has connections at the Mexican border and express shipment.
Orban will need to get with it- they will destroy him and have him removed.
Is this NOT another example to WORLD – get it out there SATURATE Social Media – the way of Orban.
Orbans self created / manufactured destruction of Hungary – the destruction of DEMOCRACY, that his Political Ideas and Philosophy – just continue to EXPOSE – that Orban is a lost cause and needs to be MOVED on.
Its APPALLING, the BLANTANCY of Orban & his Government, there use of POWER to “crush” and “crumble” what-ever they deem NOT of there liking or “sickened” – DOGMA.
Hungary in growing millions know, Europe knows, country’s of the European Union know, and the wider world, especially those governed under DEMOCRACY.
Freedom and Liberty – by DEMOCRACY – it just doesn’t and will NEVER Happen, as long as the name Orban remains in POWER in Hungary.
WHAT will Orban & his BANKRUPT Government do next ?
Hungary – it will not be Good News.
Thank you Hegedűs Géza for being a good Christian and a responsive citizen.
As usual those message with capital letters words full of non sense that just want to insult Orban. As always Maty 16 years old pretending to be Mario just posting Orbanistan to feel is a man.
Please of you don’t like Hungary go live in Western countries and let Hungary for whom rejecting the western political agenda.
Could the LGBT etc. community and supporters not stay out of a festival just for 7 days? Must they push their philosophy into everyone’s face. People attending the concert are there to enjoy themselves not to participate in politics. If people do not like Hungary’s stand to protect
children, they should just stay away. The festival is no place for grooming.
Oh Maria, at it again. No one is pushing politics except those that have brought this non issue to the front by complaining about . . . nothing. If “grooming” is so horrible, why do you and your ilk constantly groom girls to be baby machines for Hungary, even offering money to get pregnant. Now that is grooming to the maximum! Stay in North America and leave Hungary to us.
“Foreigners come to Sziget Festival in Hungary because this state is the last home of freedom” – he is kidding, right?
I get to defend our country at every single meeting with foreign investors … I have settled on “stability”, EU Membership and us eventually complying with all requests, NATO, you name it. Low risk.
I would rather avoid a Hungary Home of Freedom discussion, let alone our Politicians´ culture wars.
Speaking of Canada – believe some of our anti-LGBTQ commentators would applaud something like this:

Marginalizing certain groups is a sad and slippery slope, you´d hope we would learn from history.
And, no, neither propaganda nor the EU did not make Mr. Orbán´s old friend Mr. Szájer gay:

Why does anything LGBTQ related bring out all of the flaming nutbars? There is historical speculation that Jesus was gay. He had no wife but John was “the disciple Jesus loved.” The disturbing thing is how Fidesz and the right wing use Christianity to divide society and attack minority groups and actually promote hate. That is completely contradictory to the teachings of Christianity. Most of these politicians are not real Christians but only use Christianity as a political tool to make their policies unassailable by claiming that they have the moral authority of religion. Meanwhile they cast their opponents as unpatriotic and un-Christian. People with lower levels of reasoning are susceptible to this kind of political manipulation with the majority of the Hungarian public following as sheep.

Maria the Groomer, how would you like it if all religious groups would advertise against LGBT and supporters during Pride Parade? It seems that the LGBT & supporters are adamant of ruining everyone’s fun. These groups practice tyranny. The motto of the EU “United in Adversity is a joke”. If this person bothers to read the comments, more people agree with no political nonsense at Sziget Concert than with your opinion.
marievontheresa – what a narrow mind he or she HAS.
Hello – what period of years in Hungary are you living?
1945 – 1989 – this truly is your COMFORT zone.
Never in commentary’s does the “Von” – the paid up full member of Fidesz, the absolute idiolization of its Leader and present Prime Minister of Hungary, the destructor of Hungary – Victor Orban – that he or she CONVEY’s – living in a “time ball” of the past 1989 and back, that just Flows – the repetitive Ooze, of Fidesz “creed” – that is pulverizing Hungary, in a disintegration factual process, that , will result not in GLORY and Survive – the ABILITY to stand alone, exist alone and support it-self – as a country, the country of her /his Birth.
Does the “Von” believe – Hungary in “standing alone” no longer a DEMOCRACY, no longer a “Line of Credit” from being a member country of the European Union, nor NATO, does the “Von” think that Russia or China – are going to “Shovel” billions of forints into Hungary, to support Hungary, and the NEEDS we have at this immediate time and into the Future to SURVIVE as a country ?
Tell all – the “Von” – what’s YOUR survival plan for the immediate and FUTURE of Hungary,
dismissive of being a Full Core – in its practice as a DEMOCRACY ?
LGBTQ rights are human rights, not just political issue. Celebrating human rights for minorities fits perfectly for a festival with positive vibes. LGBTQ are not against anyone, e.g. LGBTQ people have nothing against religious people celebrating Easter festivities for many days. But somehow religious people have everything against LGBTQ having their own festivities.
And again, combining LGBTQ with pedophilia is just an oppression tool used by conservatives. Totally without any truthful evidence, just repeated so many times that some people actually believe it.
As anonymous wrote above, can´t conservative Christian people be Christian and cherish love instead of hate and discrimination? It´s against your religion to spread hate towards minorities.
About 90% of the people in the world are right handed. It’s a genetic trait. It wasn’t so long ago that left-handed children were forced to write and perform other activities with their right hands. In the Soviet Union, all left-handed students were forced to write with their right hand in the Soviet educational system. Even today, many Asian countries force their children to become right-handed due to cultural perceptions of bad luck associated with the left hand. In India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia, it has traditionally been perceived as “rude” behavior to use the left hand for eating. In 19th-century Europe, homosexuals were referred to as “left-handed.”
Have we learned nothing?
To anonymous and ostanus, you are completely wrong.
From Mark 7: 21-23, Jesus listed sexual immorality as a sin that will defile a person. And He and his audience would know from Leviticus 18:22 that sexual immorality includes homosexuality. So homosexuality is indeed evil, sin and not acceptable to Jesus.
