"The bill in question is one of two passed by the City Council last month that were championed by #Jewish #lawmakers and leaders who were unnerved by pro-#Palestinian #protests targeting #synagogues. A bill proposed by Speaker #JulieMenin that applies to protests outside #housesofworship passed with a #veto-proof supermajority, but a second bill that applies to protests near “#educationalfacilities” passed with enough “no” votes for #Mamdani to be able to strike it down.

Mamdani has indicated concerns about the legislation but not his plans about whether to sign it."

De vraag is dus niet alleen wie er wint in Boedapest, maar ook wat dat betekent voor besluiten in Brussel waar Den Haag op wacht.
