The 31st Budapest Pride will take place on 27 June, according to a statement from the organisers. “There was Pride, there is Pride, and there will be Pride,” they said.
Magyar government’s stance on Budapest Pride revealed
According to Index.hu, the organisers described the 2025 Budapest Pride as Hungary’s largest human rights march, despite a ban imposed by the Orbán government and the authorities.
At a press conference, spokespersons for the Magyar government said the new administration would ensure freedom of assembly for everyone. However, they did not disclose whether any members of the government would take part in the march. They added that, in a personal capacity, they had attended last year’s march and would do so again this year if possible.
In response to a question from Klubrádió, Blanka Szondi said the Magyar government would not decide on the regulations that currently render Pride-like events illegal. She stated that the government allows the police to determine whether such events can be held.
In March 2025, the Orbán government amended the relevant regulations, allowing Hungarian police to ban events that may endanger the proper physical, moral, or mental development of minors. Experts say the measure may be considered vague legislation, enabling the authorities to make arbitrary decisions.
Protest event announced
The right-radical opposition Our Homeland party will organise a full day’s programme dubbed “Family Pride” to counter this year’s Budapest Pride March, party leader László Toroczkai said on Friday.
Toroczkai said his party’s event would take place one week after the march “to give a positive answer to an event organised by the strongest LGBTQ lobby in the world“.

The politician urged European counterparts to hold similar events “to promote families based on traditional male-female roles, childbirth, and protection of children and Christians“.
According to Torczkai, “the largest ever Pride can be expected” to take place on June 27, “a feast of immorality” and “spectacles not seen for a very long time“.
He also suggested that the venue of Our Homeland’s event had not been approved by the police yet. He added that “Budapest Pride cannot be lawfully held without changing current rules” and pledged to file a criminal complaint “unless parliament takes measures“.
