Budapest's Mayor Gergely Karácsony challenges Hungary's anti-LGBTQ+ law by allowing Budapest Pride to return, declaring it a celebration of freedom. The law, approved by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, imposes significant penalties and surveillance on Pride events. In retaliation, the Municipality and the Rainbow Mission Foundation are reviving Budapest Freedom Day, with plans to incorporate Pride into the theme for 2025. Mayor Karácsony emphasizes the importance of dignity and freedom for all citizens, while the Budapest Pride spokesperson affirms the constitutional right to protest against discrimination.
"Freedom and love cannot be banned," said Budapest's Mayor Gergely Karácsony, who announced that Budapest Pride would continue despite Hungary's restrictive law against LGBTQ+ events.
The Budapest Municipality plans to revive 'Budapest Freedom Day,' with a 2025 theme centered on Budapest Pride, celebrating LGBTQ+ rights in defiance of recent legislation.
