Budapest, Hungary – Thousands of people participated in Budapest's Pride march on Saturday, marking the city's first Pride celebration since the conclusion of former prime minister Viktor Orban's 16-year government. The event saw a significant turnout, with participants celebrating in the Hungarian capital.
The march signifies a shift in the city's public sphere following Orban's extended period in power. Orban's government, which ended in 2022, had often been criticized for its stance on LGBTQ+ rights.
