Budapest recently hosted its 30th Pride march on Saturday, attracting a massive crowd estimated between 100,000 and 200,000 people. This event marked a significant celebration of LGBTQ+ rights and diversity in the city. Participants from across Hungary and Europe took part in the parade, which featured vibrant displays and conveyed powerful messages of acceptance and equality.
However, the event faced criticism from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who described the Pride march as “disgusting and shameful.” Orbán also alleged that the event was organized “on the orders of Brussels,” implying external influence from the European Union. His remarks have ignited a broader debate within Hungary and Europe surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and political involvement.
Despite the Prime Minister’s negative comments, the Pride parade went ahead peacefully, garnering strong support from citizens and activists who continue to advocate for equality. This event underscores the ongoing challenges in Hungarian society with regard to minority rights and the government’s position.
