Budapest's massive pride parade this year was momentous. It also highlighted the geographic and political obstacles facing Hungary's opposition. The post Budapest Pride Could Be a Hollow Victory for Hungary's Opposition appeared first on World Politics Review.

Organisers estimate up to 200,000 people marched after government banned the annual celebration. Tens of thousands of people have marched for LGBTQ rights in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, defying a government ban and police orders, in one of the biggest shows of opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

More than 180,000 protesters took over the streets of Budapest, many saying they marched not just for LGBTQ rights but in opposition to what they see as an increasingly authoritarian government.
