Budapest Pride Parade Planned for 15 July
The Budapest Pride parade will be held on July 15 this year following lengthy planning and consultations, organisers said in a press statement.

The event will take place in downtown Budapest for the 28th time.

Organisers encourage everybody to join, inviting anybody who would like to live in a free, tolerant and democratic country.

The annual Budapest Pride Community Festival will be hosted between June 16 and July 16, in which more than 50 NGOs, informal groups and individuals will stage more than 100 programmes.

In responding to the events of recent days organisers said: “last week the cabinet again produced from the shelf the classic lie about conflating LGBTQ people with those who harm children, and instead of genuine child protection it threatened at Saturday’s cabinet press conference to tighten the law again against “gender ideology.”

This could mean another round of incitement, hate campaign and attacks, they added.
