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 authorised, 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 troubles. #Budapest #Pride #Hungary 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my
