Together in Pride, Together in Protest - Joint Statement by the ETUC and ILGA-Europe

The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and ILGA-Europe stand united in defending the rights and freedoms of LGBTIQ people and workers across Europe. Our movements are bound by a shared commitment to equality, social justice, and democratic freedoms—principles that are increasingly under threat. The ban on Budapest Pride is not just an attack on LGBTIQ people—it’s an attack on democracy, freedom of assembly, and the right to organise.
