Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor OrbĂĄnâs right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to âban loveâ and labeled the event a protest against what she called âfascistâ attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. BalĂĄzs OrbĂĄn, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a âyoung, angry personâ offering âunsolicited advice,â also referencing her âfailed Gaza activism.â
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say OrbĂĄn's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunbergâs visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungaryâs politics â and one that's drawing international attention.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked political shockwaves by refusing to sign the EUâs joint statement backing Ukraine, issued just days before the upcoming TrumpâPutin meeting in Alaska. The statement, agreed upon by other EU leaders, emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force and that peace in Ukraine must include Ukraineâs voice. Orban claims the declaration was an attempt to set preconditions for a meeting to which the EU was not invited â further deepening tensions within Europe ahead of a critical geopolitical summit.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trumpâs aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trumpâs golf course in Scotlandâscrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump âate her for breakfast.â Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trumpâs âposture reviewâ looming, the EUâs strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyenâs final chance to recover politically.
