NGOs and human rights activists in Hungary have condemned the government's proposed restrictions on this year's Pride march in Budapest. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán suggested that preparations for the event would be a waste of resources, while Minister Gergely Gullyás stated that public Pride events as known in recent decades would not be tolerated, claiming it was to 'protect children'. Critics argue this infringes on citizens' rights, with Budapest Pride organizers vowing to continue their fight for visibility and rights.
