News about Budapest Pride • police

Orbán banned Pride. He'll use facial recognition to track those who defy him. But we're going to march in Budapest anyway. “We hope the European Commission will join us in Budapest on 28 June, it’s where citizens need us.” @IratxeGarper www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/iratxe-garcia-we-will-march-budapest-freedom-and-equality

Shameful. The decision & the rationale. “Hungarian police said they are banning the Budapest pride parade. Hungary's parliament passed legislation in March that created a legal basis for police to ban LGBTQ+ marches, citing the protection of children.” www.rte.ie/news/world/2025/0619/1519304-hungary-pride-march/

[Viktor Orbán’s crackdown won’t stop Pride march, says Budapest mayor | Hungary | The Guardian] “Leader says LGBTQ+ gathering in Hungarian capital will go ahead even if police try to impose a government-backed ban“ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/mayor-plan-c-police-ban-budapest-pride

The same MEPs who attack Hungary for “rule-of-law violations” now march in Budapest Pride. It’s not about rights — it’s rainbow-colored pressure against national sovereignty. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/18/meps-attend-budapest-pride-viktor-orban-hungary-lgbtq
