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

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked political shockwaves by refusing to sign the EU’s joint statement backing Ukraine, issued just days before the upcoming Trump–Putin 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 Ukraine’s voice. Orban claims the declaration was an attempt to set preconditions for a meeting to which the EU was not invited — further deepening tensions within Europe ahead of a critical geopolitical summit.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?
