Budapest Pride March: Preparations

Temporary cameras are installed along the path of the Budapest Pride march in Budapest, Hungary, on June 27, 2025. Multiple cameras are installed along the road of the march, allegedly containing face recognition technology. The Hungarian national assembly passes legislation earlier this year permitting the police to use face recognition to fine attendees of banned protests, citing child protection concerns. The local government of Budapest vows to hold the Budapest Pride, despite a police ban being in place. The march gathers international attention with over 70 MEPs expected to be in attendance.
