Budapest police say won't prosecute Pride participants
Hungarian police have announced they will not prosecute participants in the Budapest Pride parade, despite the event initially being banned. The decision follows a record turnout for this year's Pride march, with organizers estimating over 200,000 people attended. The announcement signals a potential shift in enforcement policy, though the initial ban remains a point of contention for LGBTQ+ rights advocates in Hungary. The lack of prosecution will likely be viewed as a victory for the community, allowing participants to avoid potential legal repercussions for exercising their right to assemble.
