Budapest hosted a large Pride event, with 100,000 to 200,000 participants celebrating human rights despite a government ban. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's restrictions spurred attendance, leading to a vibrant protest against his regime. The event was marked by banners mocking Orban and a strong presence from the LGBT community, turning into a broader celebration of freedom. Mayor Gergely Karacsony hailed the event as a victory against government oppression, while the police maintained a restrained presence. The pro-government media criticized the event, framing it as chaotic.
