💨 Abstract

In Budapest, thousands protested against a new law banning the annual Pride march and allowing facial recognition to identify participants. The law was passed by Hungary's parliament last week, with the ruling Fidesz party citing potential harm to children. Prime Minister Viktor Orban, facing an opposition challenge ahead of 2026 elections, has criticized the LGBTQ+ community and plans to crack down on foreign funding of independent media and NGOs.
