An unprecedented crowd of 100,000 to 200,000 people gathered in Budapest for the 30th annual Pride march on Saturday. The event marked a significant moment for the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary, drawing widespread attention across Europe.
Despite the large turnout and vibrant celebration, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán condemned the event.
