The US, most of the European Union and other allies criticized Hungary for an anti-LGBTQ campaign that they said was at odds with human rights law ahead of Budapest’s weekend Pride March.
The admonition from more than 40 countries and organizations underscored the deepening isolation of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose government has been ramping up an anti-LGBTQ agenda that’s threatening to escalate a standoff with the EU over the rule of law and human rights.
