    • Abstract:
      The article discusses Hungary's top court ruling against a police ban on a pro-LGBTQ gathering in Budapest, highlighting the ongoing cultural tensions under Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government. The court determined that the police did not sufficiently justify the ban, especially given that a similar event had recently been permitted. The ruling comes amid criticism from twenty European Union member states urging Hungary to reverse its anti-LGBTQ legislation, which prioritizes children's development rights over other rights. Additionally, the article notes that this targeting of the LGBTQ community may be a strategy to distract voters from economic issues and is part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Hungary.
