Police have banned Budapest's annual Pride march, leading Mayor Gergely Karacsony to organize a local 'Day of Freedom' event on June 28. This confrontation highlights tensions between the nationalist government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Hungary's LGBTQ community. Despite legal challenges, the mayor insists the event will proceed, emphasizing freedom of assembly. The police justify the ban citing child protection laws, while human rights groups encourage participation to challenge the ban.
