In a television interview on Monday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban called Budapest Pride at the weekend "not pride, but prejudice".
Shortly before 8pm, the Budapest Pride event ended on the Műegyetem embankment in the capital. “We made history here today,” said Viktória Radványi - according to the President of Budapest Pride, over 200,000 took part in the march this year. This year’s Pride attracted international attention, with delegations from over 30 countries, including more than 70 members of the European Parliament plus many foreign diplomats.
Enough of the hypocritical 'pride' and the lecturing by pro-Brussels MEPs," Zsuzsanna Borvendég, an MEP of the opposition Our Homeland party, said in a statement on Saturday.
Budapest’s metropolitan council will go ahead with organising its "celebration of freedom" next Saturday, Gergely Karacsony, the city’s mayor has said, arguing that a prohibition order issued by Budapest police concerned "a non-existent gathering".
