BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday there would be “legal consequences” for organising or attending a Budapest Pride march in violation of a police ban on the event, planned for Saturday.
“We are adults, and I recommend that everyone should decide what they want, keep to the rules … and if they don’t, then they should face the clear legal consequences,” Orban told state radio.
He said police could disperse a banned event but Hungary was a “civilised country” and the task for police was to convince people to follow the law.
