""It is our constitutional right to gather peacefully, to be together, and to march for our human dignity and our fundamental rights," spokesperson Máté Hegedűs said in a statement."
"The Budapest Pride Parade will still take place on June 28 in protest of the ban, with the support of Mayor Gergely Karácsony, a member of the green political party Párbeszéd - A Zöldek Pártja."
In defiance of Hungary's ban on public LGBTQ+ events, tens of thousands are expected to participate in the 30th annual Pride parade in Budapest. The Hungarian government enacted a controversial 'child protection' law in 2021, preventing the promotion of homosexuality to minors, and recently passed a constitutional amendment reinforcing this stance. Spokesperson Máté Hegedűs affirmed the legal right to protest, highlighting that the movement transcends LGBTQ+ rights, aiming to defend human dignity for all. The event, supported by numerous foreign embassies, confirms Hungary’s ongoing tensions regarding LGBTQ+ freedoms under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
