France, May 29 -- Prime Minister Peter Magyar, a pro-EU conservative who ousted Orban from office after 16 years in April elections, has regularly voiced support for equality and freedom of assembly.

But he has not specifically endorsed the Pride parada, nor moved to reverse a slew of laws passed under Orban that have restricted LGBTQI+ rights.

Pride organisers made a formal notification Wednesday about their intention to hold this year's march on 27 June 27.

"During the notification process for the 2026 Pride parade and the subsequent in-person consultation with the organisers, no grounds for prohibiting the assembly arose," police told AFP in a statement.
