Hungarian PM Orban warns of legal consequences for organizing or attending the banned Budapest Pride march, urging adherence to the law.
BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday there would be "legal consequences" for organising or attending a Budapest Pride march in violation of a police ban on the event, planned for Saturday.
"We are adults, and I recommend that everyone should decide what they want, keep to the rules ... and if they don't, then they should face the clear legal consequences," Orban told state radio.
He said police could disperse a banned event but Hungary was a "civilised country" and the task for police was to convince people to follow the law.
