After an “anti-paedophilia” law was adopted by parliament last month, Orban’s critics at home and in Brussels have accused him of conflating paedophilia with homosexuality.
“Many people are dismayed at the new law and the anti-gay propaganda,” Johanna Majercsik, a spokesperson for the Budapest Pride organiser, told the AFP news agency.
