Abstract

The article focuses on the legal charges brought against Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony for violating a police ban on the annual Pride parade last year. The Budapest Prosecutor's Office is seeking a fine against Karacsony for his role in co-organizing the event, which was opposed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In response, Karacsony expressed his commitment to freedom and pride in facing the charges. The Pride parade, which took place on June 28, attracted hundreds of thousands of participants and represented a significant act of defiance against Orban's government, which has been in power since 2010.
