Hungary bans pro-LGBTQ march for first time under crackdown law

Hungarian authorities have banned a pro-LGBTQ march in Budapest for the first time under new constitutional provisions that prioritize childrens rights over other freedoms. The ban was granted citing concerns that the event may "endanger" children, according to police. This marks the first use of the amended laws, which were championed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban and have raised concerns about suppressing dissenting voices and stifling public debate. The Helsinki Committee, one of the organizers of the banned march, has announced plans to mount a legal challenge to the decision. The move has been met with criticism from human rights groups and is seen as an attempt to restrict freedom of assembly and speech in Hungary.
