This Saturday marks Budapest’s first official Pride march since longtime LGBTQ rights opponent Viktor Orbán left office as prime minister. Thousands of people are expected to take part despite soaring temperatures. While this year’s parade has been fully authorized, tensions remain. France 24 correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports that several rainbow flags displayed on the Elisabeth Bridge ahead of the event were removed by far-right activists and replaced with Hungarian flags in an effort to prevent potential unrest.
