Tens of thousands are marching in Budapest for the annual Budapest Pride after Viktor Orbán lost power and the march was authorized by the new government.The EU Court has ruled that Hungary’s 2021 anti-LGBT law violates EU rules, and rights groups and the European Commission are urging Prime Minister Péter Magyar to repeal restrictions on gender recognition, school materials and adoption.Organizers give varied turnout estimates, the parade moves in 38 C heat with water and medical aid provided, and participants such as
Petra Toth,
Fanni Fajth and
Boglarka Boruzs say the atmosphere feels more hopeful though legal changes have not yet arrived.
