Tens of thousands of Hungarians marched in the Pride parade in Budapest, which was organized by the city hall to ensure its implementation despite prohibitions.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán threatened legal consequences for the LGTBIQ+ community. Participants could be fined and organizers could face prison.
The ban is part of Orbán's legislative crusade seeking to undermine and suppress the rights of the LGTBIQ+ community, including the prohibition of the 'promotion' of homosexuality and gender reassignment to minors.
EU countries have requested that the law be revoked, and the president of the European Commission expressed her support for the Hungarian LGTBIQ+ community.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar is seducing the conservative electorate, which could pose a serious challenge to Orbán.
Isolated on the European stage and facing economic difficulties, Orbán is increasing his misogynistic and homophobic rhetoric.
Hungary is experiencing a regression of the rights of the LGTBIQ+ community.
Conclusion: In current Hungary, the rights of the LGTBIQ+ community and European democratic values are at risk. This is a result of Orbán's legislative crusade and discriminatory speech.
