Thousands marched in Budapest Pride on Saturday, the first since Viktor Orbán's recent electoral defeat, according to Channel 12. Last year Orbán banned the march, which turned into a mass protest against his government.
Thousands took part in Budapest Pride on Saturday, the first such march since Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party suffered a significant electoral defeat earlier this month. According to Channel 12, last year Orbán banned the event, which instead became a large protest rally against his government. This year's parade marks a return to public LGBTQ+ pride expression in the Hungarian capital amid the political shift. As The Zioneer previously reported, Orbán was reelected as Fidesz party chairman on June 13 despite the electoral loss.
