ILGA-EUROPE asked that the Commission included this information in its report for 2009 since there was violence against participants during the festival, the offices of gay movements were attacked, death threats were made against activists and organizers of the festival and the police did not react.
La Asociación Internacional de Gays y Lesbianas elevó una petición a la Comisón Europea para que se incluyese en el informe del 2009 estos hechos, ya que, durante la celebración de este festival se agredieron participantes, se atacaron oficinas de asociaciones de gays y lesbianas y hubo amenazas de muerte a organizadores y activistas ante la impasibilidad de las autoridades.
