Several European countries issued travel warnings for citizens attending Budapest Pride, which the Hungarian government banned citing child protection. Organizers are proceeding with the event, expecting tens of thousands. Warnings cite potential fines up to €500, use of facial recognition technology, and risks from counter-protests planned by far-right groups. Despite the ban, numerous MEPs and EU officials plan to attend. The Hungarian government indicated participants would face legal consequences but wouldn't be forcibly dispersed.
