Brussels MPs to Take Part in Banned Budapest Pride

Several members of the Brussels parliament intend to participate in the Pride event in Budapest on June 28, 2025, which has been prohibited by Hungarian authorities.
The Hungarian government banned Pride events through a law introduced by Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party and amended the constitution to forbid public LGBTQ events.
Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony, who opposes the ban, requested international delegations to support the march and hopes for peaceful protests backed by foreign officials.
Lotte Stoops, vice-president of the Brussels parliament, indicated that since the foreign ministry has not warned against traveling to Hungary, they intend to proceed with their visit as scheduled.
The involvement of foreign officials is intended to enhance safety and boost the likelihood that the march will proceed without incident, demonstrating opposition to Hungary's anti-LGBTQ legislation.
