The law, supported by Orbán’s Fidesz party and their minority coalition partner the Christian Democrats, was pushed through parliament in an accelerated procedure after being submitted only a day earlier.

The law bans the Pride Parade on the grounds that it can be harmful to children. It also stipulates that police can use identification cameras to identify people participating in the parade and fine participants. Orban has always been critical of the LGBTQ+ community and the wider woke and gay agenda.

Hungary's parliament has passed a bill banning the annual Pride march, citing potential harm to children, sparking protests in Budapest. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party pushed the legislation through swiftly.
