Description:

Tens of thousands of people march in the Budapest Pride parade in Hungary's capital, defying a government ban that marks a major pushback against LGBTQ rights in the European Union. Orban's governing coalition amended laws and the constitution this year to prohibit the annual celebration, justifying his years-long clampdown on LGBTQ rights on "child protection" grounds.
