BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called Saturday's Pride "repulsive and shameful", accusing the EU of directing opposition politicians to organise the event, which turned into an anti-government protest,

Hungary’s Pride ban has prompted a backlash from many of the country’s partners and allies. More than 30 foreign embassies signed a joint statement this week expressing their commitment to “every person’s rights to equal treatment and nondiscrimination, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.”

Around 100,000 people have marched in Budapest in Hungary's largest ever LGBTQ+ Pride event in defiance of a government ban.
