Police will not initiate proceedings against Budapest Pride participants 😔

The Hungarian police announced they will not take action against participants of this year's Pride march, despite the event being banned due to legal concerns. The organizers did not challenge the ban and continued to promote the event, leading to confusion about its legality. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán previously expressed intentions to ban Pride, and legal changes were made to prioritize children's rights over assembly rights. Despite the ban, the event took place and became the largest Pride parade in Budapest's history.
