Hungary’s PM Orbán says Pride marched in the Budapest ‘on the orders of Brussels’

Budapest Pride March and Orbán’s comments on the event

Byeur.net reports that on Saturday, the Budapest Pride March, which was officially declared an outlawed event against the Hungarian government in 1989, saw between 100 and 200,000 participants. Euronews estimates that the number of attendees reached over 150,000. Despite breaking the previous record of 35,000, the organizers remainedAFP persistent, and the event became a benchmark for cultural and political overflow. Speaking later in the day, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán commented on the event, stating that it should not be run by ‘our’ politicians, as the government of the Hungarian capital has explicitly stated that no instructions to mobilise such a large crowd were consented to by any political party.

Orbán’s views on the event

On Sunday, it was finally clarified how Orbán had interpreted the outcome of Saturday’s event. He had reportedly told the Pride organisers in February that they "should not bother" with their efforts, as the government would not allow the event to proceed based on the directives from the EU. The Premier sent a message to the "Warriors’ Club", a close-quarterspace organization closely associated with Fidesz, where he wrote that "Brussels has issued an order demanding a Pride in Budapest. The ruling politicians in Budapest implemented the order, which indicates that our country is under the surveillance of a national government defending its sovereignty. The order from Brussels undermines the role of political parties in mobilising citizens, as no one else has managed to conduct such a large crowd in a demonstration against themselves despite inciting hatred." Orbán had pointed out that "the 3.7 million voters of the 2022 gender vote" "cannot be matched by the number of any demonstration," as he had noted that the 2022 gender vote was started by 3.7 million participants, while other demonstrations had seen millions of attendees. He highlighted that the event itself had been deemed "disgusting and shameful," pointing to the fact that drag performances, men in high heels, and brochures on hormone therapy "do not fit into Hungarian culture."

Orbán as the king of the Pride

Despite Orbán’sincr Sheila remarks, the opposition leader P magic minimum did not miss a chance to argue. TISZA’s leader had said that Orbán became the "king of the Pride" in Europ][- between 2023 and 2024, due in part to what he called his party’s inability to mobilise as much crowd as what had taken place on 2022’s gender vote. The opposition held a post on social media last Sunday that claimed Orbán cannot govern anymore, as public services are falling apart. Sources closer to his party had stated that "Orbán’s vastxia of 2022 gender vote was no match for any demonstration," and that he had taken advantage of it as a逢in-rasik. Orbán is carrying out a retraction from his position as the leader of “Pride in the East” once upon a time in the 1980s.

Government’s response

The Hungarian government has comparisons what this event had meant. In his social media post on Saturday at 20:00, he had written that his Fidesz had not missed the spectacle of today’s release, including the crowded assemblements and distant images that almost resemble the Peace March. HeAdded that his Fidesz has seen the success of this event, which "dominated the signs of public support and the negative implication of our history," and the signs of everyone’s difficulties. His posts have been viewed in millions, with police unit arresting 36 people and charges mounted against one woman and one man. Police said one woman was injured on falling from a lሾ, while another man was hospitalized due to drug possession. Two visitors were awarded treatment for injuries such as loss and hearing loss, and a 15-year-old boy was treated for falls.

Conclusion

Orbán commented on the event as the king of the Pride in Europ][- between 2023 and 2025, though he acknowledges the sound of this use of the minority as a lie. The opposition leader, who was a victim of orbital-actor relationships in his party, had made the ouija claim that Orbán cannot govern, and that public services are failing. However, Orbán has accuses Fidesz of stifling its progress and accusing the Hungarian government of misuse of the event as a "clever trap" to amplify its narrative that the event was just a demonstration of hatred. The government has met with skepticism from political scientists and has accused the police and Hungarian officials of actions that backhqed its narrative of “no”。
