- summary
- Budapest Pride went ahead on 28 June 2025 despite the police ban, with 100,000-200,000 participants — Hungary's largest anti-government demonstration in years — and Pécs Pride was held on 4 October 2025. After charges were filed against the Pécs organiser (February 2026), Amnesty, Háttér, HHC and HCLU continued to support him; the case is before the European Court of Human Rights.
