On June 3, the Hungarian Constitutional Court found that it is an unconstitutional omission that Hungarian law does not ensure the domestic recognition of same-sex marriages concluded abroad as registered partnerships. The Court called on the Parliament to fulfill its legislative duty by October 31, 2025.
Despite the police ban, this year's Pécs Pride was a complete success. The peaceful demonstration held for the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and freedom of assembly was secured by the police in an exemplary manner – domestic human rights organizations acknowledged.
The Kúria (Supreme Court of Hungary) today upheld the police's ban on Pécs Pride – according to Hungary’s supreme court, the following things cannot be done in public spaces in Hungary:
- stand up for equal rights for sexual and gender minorities
- protest against arbitrary restrictions on freedom of assembly
- commemorate gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people murdered during the Holocaust
- speak out against the exclusion of Roma under the pretext of "protecting local identity".
