The participants in the 7th Moldovan Pride were precluded from marching peacefully in support of anti-discrimination legislation and tolerance in the centre of Chisinau. Police did not guarantee the right to freedom of assembly. Large aggressive coordinated groups, including extremist religious groups, members of the neo-fascist movement “New Right”, and legionnaires blocked the bus with participants, forced the door, violently hit the windows, and attempted to remove the engine, while shouting “lets get them out and beat them up”.

On 6-7 July 2007, ILGA-Europe held Strategic Planning meeting in Budapest which coincided with the Budapest Pride. We were invited to address and participate at the pride March. This was the 11th Pride March in Budapest, but for the first time it was not entirely peaceful: there were nationalistic protesters following the March almost during its entire route, shouting insults, throwing eggs and stones into marchers, there was even a smoke bomb thrown at the marchers. It is known that at least 8 protesters were arrested on that day. Unfortunately there were also a few cases when LGBT individuals were attacked and beaten up later on that day.

Despite the rain and two bombs explosions the night before the march, nearly 500,000 people marched thought central London
