Around 70 MEPs from various political groups joined thousands of protestors in Budapest to support Pride, despite a recent law banning such events. The march, attended by tens of thousands, highlighted divisions in Hungary regarding LGBTQ+ rights. Key figures expressed disappointment over the absence of EPP members, while Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar avoided the event. The march was allowed to proceed under the guise of a 'Day of Freedom' celebration, despite threats of legal repercussions for participants. Anti-LGBT protests occurred simultaneously, but no major incidents were reported.
