Thousands of protesters blocked a major thoroughfare in the centre of Hungary's capital on Tuesday in opposition to a recent law that effectively bans LGBTQ+ Pride events and restricts Hungarians' right to assembly.
The protest was the second in as many weeks since the ruling Fidesz party of Hungary used its two-thirds parliamentary majority last Tuesday to expedite the law, which critics say is the government's most recent assault on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community in the country.
