Large Pro-Family and Orthodox Christian March in Belgrade, Serbia and Anti-Government Demonstrations in Melbourne as Protests Continue Throughout Germany.
Germans have continued to demonstrate against their government as energy prices, inflation, and the cost of living continue to climb.
Belgrade, Serbia
In response to a planned Pride parade planned this weekend in Belgrade as part of EuroPride, a pro-family rally and march were held on Sunday, September 11th. Although the Serbian President banned the upcoming Pride parade, organizers of the event have stated they will ignore the ban and urge individuals to attend to “struggle” for democracy:
“Thousands of opponents of a pan-European LGBTQ event planned for this week in Belgrade marched through the Serbian capital on Sunday despite an announced ban of Europe’s largest annual gay gathering.
After the march, Serbian Patriarch Porfirije held prayers at the main Saint Sava temple in Belgrade, saying “evil forces” want to "desecrate the purity of the family by imposing anti-God and unnatural unions as a substitute for marriage and family.”
Organizers of the EuroPride — which includes a week of events and a Pride march in Belgrade on Sept. 17 — have said they will ignore the police ban and hold the LGBTQ festivities.
Members of the European Pride Organizers Association chose Serbia’s capital three years ago to host the annual event, hoping it would represent a major breakthrough for a Slavic country that is traditionally conservative and under strong influence from the Orthodox Church.
Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic, who has announced the ban, said Serbia’s police cannot cope with possible riots by right-wing groups against the Pride march amid a crisis over Serbia’s breakaway province of Kosovo as well as the energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine.
Serbia’s rights groups have urged supporters to join the Pride march as part of struggle for democracy that they say is under threat in Serbia from Vucic’s autocratic regime.
Several EU officials have said they will join the LGBTQ events, while those calling on the Serbian government to reverse the announced ban include U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken.”
The event was well-attended, with videos showing a large procession marching peacefully down the streets and many participants holding up icons.
