Between 100,000 and 200,000 people participated in the 30th Budapest Pride march on Saturday, marking an unprecedented turnout. The large crowd celebrated LGBTQ+ rights in the Hungarian capital, showing strong support for the community.
Despite the positive atmosphere among participants, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described the event as “disgusting and shameful.” Orbán also claimed that the Pride march was held “on the orders of Brussels,” implying influence from the European Union’s headquarters.
This statement has sparked significant debate across Hungary and the wider region, highlighting ongoing tensions between the Hungarian government and EU institutions.
The Pride march in Budapest remains one of the largest in Central Europe, reflecting growing visibility and activism for LGBTQ+ rights despite political opposition.
