Budapest’s planned Pride march will proceed as scheduled on June 27th, despite the heat, following a change in political climate. Last year’s event was banned under the leadership of former nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban. This year, police have authorized the march, signaling a shift in approach. The LGBTQ+ community anticipates a celebratory atmosphere, free from previous restrictions. Organizers hope the new government will formally demonstrate its support for LGBTQ+ rights. This development contrasts with the postponement of a similar march planned in Paris. The march represents a potential turning point for LGBTQ+ activism in Hungary.
