Numerous Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) plan to attend the upcoming Pride march in Budapest, defying Prime Minister Viktor Orban's attempts to ban the event. The city's mayor, Gergely Karacsony, announced that the march would proceed without police permits as a municipal celebration of freedom. MEPs from various political groups expressed solidarity with Hungarian LGBTQ+ communities, underscoring their commitment to human rights. The situation is further complicated as the European Commission reviews Hungary's anti-LGBTQ+ legislation for compliance with EU laws.
Gergely Karacsony, the mayor of Budapest, stated that the Pride march could go ahead as a municipal event, emphasizing that 'in this city, there are no first- or second-class citizens.'
