00:01Tens of thousands marched in Budapest pride, defying a ban by the Hungarian government to do so.
00:08The marches stood up for the rights of the LGBTQ plus community and freedom of assembly against the Hungarian government's policies.
00:16I feel that now we have to stand up. If we don't raise our voices, then there will be no more.
00:23We don't want to be political, we really just want to be free, and we can be free to come and stand up for ourselves.
00:32Police allowed counter-demonstrations by several far-right groups, but separated them from pride participants and their presence caused no severe disruption.
00:41What is happening here is completely understandable, it talks about the children's health and development.
00:47I'm very happy to keep the police doing this process.
00:52The mayor of Budapest, threatened by the Hungarian government with a year imprisonment for organizing the allegedly illegal march,
01:01said participants showed strength against oppression.
01:05If you can turn into pride in an European Union, then there will be the only police and security in Europe.
01:13And today, the fact that you came here today, you, Budapest, are given to this day as the main city of Europe.
01:22Police said a total of 36 people had been asked to identify themselves by 8pm, ending what they said was a band gathering with virtually no major incidents.
