The Pride march in Budapest, attended by nearly 200,000 people, was declared a 'disgrace' by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who reacted to the police ban. The event was organized by environmentalist mayor Gergely Karácsony and took place despite a recent law allowing bans on public events that affect the development of minors. The government accused the opposition of breaking the law and police threatened participants with fines and legal sanctions.
