💨 Abstract

Hungary's parliament has banned the annual Pride march for LGBTQ+ communities, citing potential harm to children, and also opposed joint EU borrowing for defense spending. The measures were passed by Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party, which faces a strong opposition challenge ahead of the 2026 elections. The moves were criticized by Budapest's liberal mayor and opposition parties, with organizers planning to hold the Pride march regardless of the ban.
