BUDAPEST (Reuters) -European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called on Hungarian authorities to permit the Budapest Pride parade to go ahead, after police banned the event.
In a response on X, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the European Commission should refrain from interfering in the law enforcement affairs of member states, "where it has no role to play".
