An unprecedented crowd of between 100- and 200-thousand people marched at the 30th Budapest Pride on Saturday. The Prime Minister said the event was "disgusting and shameful". View on euronews

With the support of the city’s liberal mayor, organizers of Budapest Pride took to the streets in defiance of Hungarian Prime Minster Viktor Orban’s effort to ban the event.

Hungary's parliament, in which Orban's right-wing Fidesz Party has a big majority, passed legislation in March that created a legal basis for police to ban LGBTQ marches, on the grounds that protecting children would supersede the right to assemble. It also lets police use facial recognition cameras to identify people who attend and impose fines.
