- First Budapest Pride since Orbán ousted from office
Hungary's first Pride march since Viktor Orbán's government ended took place in Budapest, with thousands participating despite high temperatures. Newly elected Prime Minister Péter Magyar's stance on LGBTQ+ rights remains unclear, as he avoided addressing the issue during his campaign and is not attending the event, though he recently stated 'nobody should be stigmatised because of the way they love.'
- Hungarian police approve Budapest Pride in break from Orbán era
Hungarian police will allow the Budapest Pride parade in June, reversing a decision from last year when the event was blocked under Viktor Orbán's government. The policy shift follows the rightwing nationalist government's removal from power in April after 16 years in office.
