Hungary Pride to go ahead, defying Orban threat of ‘legal consequences’
Hungary’s LGBTQ+ Pride march is set to proceed despite warnings from Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government of potential “legal consequences.” The annual event is scheduled for Saturday in Budapest, with organizers vowing to push forward despite the threats.
Orban’s administration had earlier issued a statement citing unspecified legal grounds that could lead to repercussions for the Pride march. The Prime Minister, known for his conservative stance on social issues, has been criticised by rights groups for what they see as anti-LGBTQ+ policies and rhetoric.
In response, the organizers of the Pride march emphasized the importance of standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in Hungary and pushed back against attempts to suppress their freedom of assembly. They underscored the need for visibility and equality for the LGBTQ+ community in the country.
The clash underscores the deepening divide in Hungary between conservative forces and those advocating for greater rights and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals. As the Pride march approaches, all eyes are on how the situation will unfold and whether the government will indeed take any legal action against the event.
