Orbán's Pride Ban Backfires: Record-Breaking Budapest Parade | JQJO

Hungary's largest-ever Pride parade took place in Budapest, defying a recent anti-LGBTQ+ law passed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government. The law banned Pride marches, imposing hefty fines on organizers and attendees. Despite Orbán's condemnation and threats, tens of thousands participated, far exceeding expectations. Opposition figures highlighted the irony of Orbán's ban resulting in unprecedented mobilization against him, while the event received support from various embassies and international organizations.
