VIDEO: PM Orbán walks hand in hand with Vietnamese prime minister in Budapest

Change language:

The Vietnamese Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, is on official visit to Budapest. Orbán welcomed him yesterday with military honours in front of the Hungarian Parliament. Later, he made an even more symbolic gesture many can misunderstand in Hungary.

PM Viktor Orbán grabbed the Vietnamese leader’s hand and led him on the corridors of the Carmelite Monastery, where his office operates in the Buda Castle. The images and video footage spread quickly in the Hungarian media, and several people misunderstood the gesture.

In Hungary, the Orbán government does not support the LGBTQ+ movement. They accepted several laws restricting LGBTQ people in the country. Apart from the fact that gay marriage is forbidden in Hungary and it is extremely difficult for an LGBTQ person to adopt and raise kids, the Hungarian government made it compulsory for each bookstore to wrap LGBTQ books. Furthermore, the minister sacked the director of the National Museum due to the World Press Photo exhibition in which LGBTQ-related photos were displayed even for an under-18 audience.
