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

Budapest Pride went ahead on June 28 in defiance of a government ban, drawing the backing of more than 70 members of the European Parliament and several prominent European ministers, who travelled to the Hungarian capital to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

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.
