Budapest mayor charged over Pride parade
Prosecutors in Hungary are moving against Budapest’s mayor, Gergely Karacsony, after last year's Pride went ahead despite a police ban. The case is being handled without a court hearing and as elections approach.

Hopefully Orban gets kicked out and the ban gets removed.
Hopefully. But what are the chances?
Quite high actually. Peter Magyar is likely going to be the new prime minister. Whether or not Peter will actually change anything or just be Orban 2: Electric Boogaloo is the more important question, imho. He's also a conservative, was part of Orban's inner circle before the child abuse scandals, and is running on a platform of "Orban but not corrupt", which doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence from me having seen that exact same cycle play out in Romania.
It'd be great to see Orban out regardless though.
Orban has been so long a fucking niusance!
I feel like any Hungarian election I hear the same news of him likely being ousted but he keeps on winning. I really hope it's true this time tho!
