  • 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.
