Protesters Rally for Fourth Week Against Hungary’s Ban on LGBTQ+ Events

In a continued show of defiance, protesters gathered for the fourth consecutive week in Budapest, Hungary, to rally against a new law that bans LGBTQ+ pride events. The demonstrations, which have seen thousands of participants, took place on a prominent bridge in the capital, symbolizing the community's resolve to fight for their rights.

The controversial legislation, enacted by the government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has sparked widespread criticism both domestically and internationally. Critics argue that the ban not only infringes on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community but also stifles freedom of expression and assembly.

The protests have grown in size and intensity, with participants chanting slogans and waving rainbow flags. The movement has also seen support from various human rights organizations and international bodies, urging the Hungarian government to reconsider its stance.

As the protests continue, the situation remains tense, with no immediate signs of the government backing down. The ongoing demonstrations highlight a significant clash between state policy and civil liberties, drawing attention to the broader issues of human rights and democracy in Hungary.
