Thousands of Hungarians marched in Budapest’s biggest Pride parade on Saturday (July 24).

Demonstrators took to the streets amid tension in the country, sparked by a series of policies enacted by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, targeting the LGBTQ+ community.

An “anti-pedophilia” law was adopted by Parliament last month. It bans materials promoting homosexuality and gender change in Hungarian schools.

The European Commission has recently started legal action against the Hungarian Government. Prime Minister Orban is now planning to hold a referendum.

This footage was filmed and produced 24 July 2021.

Thousands of Hungarians marched in Budapest’s biggest Pride parade on Saturday, amid tension sparked by a series of anti-gay steps by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. After an “anti-paedophilia” law was adopted by parliament last month, Orban’s critics at home and in Brussels have accused him of conflating paedophilia with homosexuality.

The video shows thousands of people marching through Budapest, Hungary, at the 26th Budapest Pride march. Protestors marched to support LGBTQ people and protest against a law that limits teaching about homosexuality and transgender issues in schools.
