From Hungary Today
Far-right Mi Hazánk is
calling for a boycott of US soft drink maker Coca-Cola over the company’s
recently-launched advertisement
campaign promoting gay acceptance, party leader László Toroczkai said on
Thursday.
Until Coca-Cola “stops promoting homosexuality”, Mi Hazánk will
organise protests against it on a weekly basis and will call on its supporters
to join a boycott of the company’s products, Toroczkai told a press conference
in front of the US multinational’s premises in Dunaharaszti near Budapest.
He said the company has admitted that it was
campaigning for same-sex marriage in two countries and is a supporter of the
local Pride festival in a number of countries.
Mi Hazánk believes a soft
drink company “has no business involving itself in politics or interfering in
other people’s private lives and its job is not to try to strengthen forms of
social deviance”, Toroczkai said.
He called on Coca-Cola to “return to its own field of business”
and “not to attack families, traditional values or society”.
As his party’s first act of protest, Toroczkai
poured Coca-Cola products offered up by Mi Hazánk’s supporters out onto the
asphalt in front of the company’s premises.
