Eumans is proud to invite citizens, activists, policy-makers, and institutional actors to Budapest on June 28, 2025, for a crucial day of democratic engagement, in collaboration with No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ).
This joint event will take place during a historic moment for civil society in Hungary and across Europe.
The day will begin with the General Assembly of NPWJ, and continue with a public forum co-organised by Eumans, aimed at confronting the growing threats to the rule of law and civil liberties in Europe. The forum will serve as an open platform for inclusive dialogue, connecting grassroots activists with European and Hungarian decision-makers, legal experts, and civil society organisations.
This gathering is not only a response to the Hungarian government’s draconian restrictions on the 30th Budapest Pride including bans on demonstrations and the introduction of AI-driven surveillance but also a proactive effort to reaffirm the core values of the European Union: democracy, fundamental rights, and the rule of law.
The day’s programme includes:
– 10:00–12:00 – Eumans
– 12:00- 13.30 NPWJ Public Debate
– 14:00 onwards – Participation in the 30th Budapest Pride alongside a broad coalition of human rights defenders and democratic allies.
The entire event will be hybrid, with remote participation available via Zoom and automatic translation to ensure accessibility for all.
As Hungary becomes a critical test case for European democratic resilience, this day in Budapest will be more than symbolic. It will be an opportunity for people across Europe to unite in dialogue, raise their voices, and take action.
