EU state follows through on LGBTQ parade ban promise

Budapest police have officially blocked a planned Pride parade, enforcing a controversial Hungarian law that claims to protect children’s "mental development" by restricting LGBTQ+ events. This follows through on the government’s earlier promises to crack down on public displays of LGBTQ+ advocacy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one event—it’s part of a broader pushback against LGBTQ+ visibility in Hungary, raising concerns about civil liberties under Prime Minister Orbán’s government. For activists, it’s another blow in an ongoing battle for recognition; for critics of the law, it’s a worrying sign of state overreach into personal freedoms. The move could also deepen tensions between Hungary and the EU, which has repeatedly clashed with Budapest over human rights issues.
