Between 100,000 and 200,000 people joined the 30th Budapest Pride march on Saturday, marking an unprecedented turnout. The event celebrated LGBTQ+ rights and diversity in Hungary’s capital.
However, the celebration sparked strong reactions from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He labeled the Pride march as “disgusting and shameful,” claiming that it happened “on the orders of Brussels.” Orbán’s statement reflects ongoing tensions between Hungary’s government and the European Union regarding social and cultural issues.
Despite the criticism, the Pride marchers showed strong support for equality and inclusion. The large attendance highlights growing visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ communities in Budapest.
The event featured:
- Colorful parades
- Speeches
- Cultural activities
These drew attention from both local citizens and international observers.
This moment has intensified the debate on:
- Human rights
- Government policies in Hungary
Many consider the Pride march a symbol of resistance and solidarity amid political challenges.
