It will be Sicily's turn with the Ragusa Pride: departure at 6:30 pm from Porto Venere.
Gabriele Piazzoni, Arcigay general secretary, currently in Budapest with the Italian delegation: "While we resist Orbán's shameful ban on Pride here, with the silent complicity of some European governments, including our own, six major marches in Italy will give us strength and tenacity, to reaffirm once again that Italy does not want to backtrack on civil rights. In Budapest," Piazzoni continues, "the government banned Pride but authorized three neo-Nazi demonstrations. This is a grave political decision that demonstrates the illiberal drift of this government. This makes our presence here even more symbolic. Today, our rainbow is the antibody and the antidote to the poison of the new fascisms attempting to reconquer Europe.".
