BUCHAREST, Romania, June 5 (UPI) -- Supporters of Romania's rightist and populist politicians clashed with police protecting participants in a gay pride parade.
Witnesses said there were arrests and injuries, but authorities could not confirm the allegations.
Some 500 people took part in the Bucharest parade Saturday to promote tolerance and indiscrimination of sexual minorities.
Police guarding the parade clashed with anti-gay activists who tried to block the event, Romania's HotNews reported Monday.
Several hundred supporters of the New Right extremist movement and the New Generation populist party staged a protest march only hours before the gay parade.
Last week the Romanian Orthodox Church was active in campaigning against the gay pride parade.
An Amnesty International report recently showed 40 percent of Romanians would like to deport homosexuals out of the country.
