The Budapest Pride march saw an unprecedented turnout, with over 100,000 participants despite a government ban. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán condemned the event as 'repulsive and shameful,' accusing opposition and Brussels of orchestrating it. Analysts suggest the event created political discomfort for the ruling Fidesz party, as it showcased public opposition to their policies. Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony highlighted a sense of solidarity and freedom among participants, while opposition leaders noted the turnout reflects dissatisfaction with Orbán's governance.
