Several European countries have issued travel warnings and cautions for their citizens planning to attend the Budapest Pride march, which the Hungarian government has banned citing child protection concerns. Despite the ban, organizers expect large attendance, and warnings include potential fines, facial recognition monitoring, and safety risks due to counter-demonstrations and police actions. European officials, including Ursula von der Leyen, have called for the ban to be lifted, highlighting ongoing tensions over LGBT rights in Hungary.
