Ferenc Gyurcsány received criticism from an unexpected place. According to a post also shared on the Facebook page of the You can't help it, you can do it against it movement founded by the Nőkért Egyesület and Mérő Vera, the president of Budapest Pride, Viktória Radványi, criticized the president of the DK after she greeted her new representative, Judit Ráczné Földi, with a tight hug, almost clinging to her. in the parliament.
Viktória Radványi put it this way:
"There will be enough of kissing and groping women and girls in public without consent, hands on the waist, whispering in the ear, and hand kisses."
According to the LGBTQ activist, if a young boy watches this video, he will see a party president walking up to his party representative, strangely, as if holding her hand behind her back, kissing her and/or whispering something in her ear.
Then another party chairman - Péter Ungár - steps up to him and presses two more cuppanos on his face. All of this with the utmost naturalness. As he wrote: "You can see from them that they didn't even think, they did it automatically. A handshake for men, a kiss for women. The man decides what kind of interaction there will be between the two parties, the woman is only the subject of the interaction, only the receiver of the touch, whether she wants it or not. But that's not the only problem.
The problem is, how much do such men allow themselves when there are not a thousand cameras and two hundred pairs of eyes pointed at them? What can be included at the end of a meeting, on a country tour, working late into the night, at a Christmas party or even during a camping trip for those for whom it is so natural that they do not respect the personal boundaries and dignity of the other person?"
asked the president of Budapest Pride. He indicated that there are forms of contact (such as shaking hands) that are used for such formal congratulations.
The peculiar behavior of Ferenc Gyurcsány outraged many people, and the ominous scene and the resulting images soon went viral on the Internet. Clinical psychologist Melinda Hal talked about how the former prime minister forced his fellow representative into a humiliating, sexist situation. This gesture towards a person with whom we are not supposed to have an intimate relationship also means trampling etiquette and manners in the mud, he pointed out.
