      A massive crowd gathered at Budapest Pride, despite attempts by the government to obstruct the event. Thanks largely to the perseverance of the mayor, Gergely Karácsony, and the original organizers, the march was still successfully held.

      Supporters arrived from abroad, including EU representatives, and many well-known public figures either expressed their support or attended the event in person.

      Péter Magyar, leader of the largest opposition party, who often remains “neutral” on Pride for tactical reasons, also posted about the event, calling on the police to “protect the people, not the power,” and declaring that they are building a Hungary “where it doesn’t matter who loves whom.”

      Many people turned out with a spirit of “just to prove a point,” and there were also plenty who attended for the first time. Recently, even a far-right voter spoke on Partizán (Hungary’s most popular online political YouTube channel), saying he went to the event to SUPPORT it, not to counter-protest.

      Far-right parties and “organizations” occupied and closed off several bridges, which forced a change to the route. However, only a marginal number of people take part in these “events” — just a few dozen or a few hundred stand around holding flags, blocking traffic, but that’s all. Meanwhile, tens of thousands participate and march in the Pride.

      Tens of thousands showed up despite legal threats, surveillance, and fines. That’s a best reply against Orban’s authoritarian crackdown
