On Saturday, between 100,000 and 200,000 people participated in the 30th Budapest Pride parade, marking a significant milestone for the event. The pride march assembled a diverse crowd celebrating LGBTQ+ rights and visibility in Hungary.
Despite the large and peaceful gathering, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán condemned the event, describing it as “disgusting and shameful.” Orbán alleged that the Pride march was organized “on the orders of Brussels,” referring to the European Union’s influence on the country.
The Pride parade stands as one of the most important annual events supporting the LGBTQ+ community in Hungary, aimed at promoting acceptance and equality amid ongoing political debates. Organizers emphasized the event’s role as a powerful statement for human rights and freedom of expression.
This year’s celebration was vibrant with colors, music, and speeches from activists advocating equal rights. Notably, the march set a record for attendance, showcasing growing support for LGBTQ+ issues despite opposition from conservative political leaders.
