Members of the European Parliament condemned Hungary's likely ban on a Pride event, insisting on EU intervention. A recently passed bill allows prohibition of LGBTQ+ events under "child protection" pretexts, with police employing facial recognition technology on attendees. Prime Minister Orban threatened organizers while Budapest Mayor Karacsony organized a redemption event for June 28. In solidarity, a cross-party EU delegation plans to travel to Budapest to support LGBTQ+ rights, asserting their commitment to freedoms and fundamental rights for all citizens, as various lawmakers voiced their solidarity during a parliamentary debate in Strasbourg.
"We see you. We hear you, and the 28th of June, we will march with you in Budapest, side by side. Proud and loud."
"The people of Hungary have the right to live free in a democracy that upholds rule of law respects their dignity and protects fundamental freedoms of all citizens."
