Hungary’s governing party, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has proposed constitutional changes that could lead to a ban on an annual march celebrating the LGBTQ community and the expulsion of citizens with dual citizenship who are deemed to threaten the country’s sovereignty. Orban has been closely aligned with U.S. President Donald Trump, who paused funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development, prompting Orban to crack down on foreign funding of media and NGOs. The proposed amendments emphasize the protection of children’s development over other rights, potentially justifying a ban on the Pride March. Another amendment allows for the expulsion of citizens with dual citizenship who pose a threat to Hungary’s sovereignty. The changes would enshrine the recognition of only two sexes, male and female, and the right to cash payments in the constitution. Orban, facing elections in 2026, is addressing economic challenges and a growing opposition party. The proposed changes reflect Orban’s nationalist agenda and are seen as a means to tighten control and bolster his position ahead of the elections.
