I don't know why the article fails to mention that between the enaction of the ban and Pécs Pride, Budapest Pride became the single biggest public event in Hungary since the fifties.

Hundreds of thousands marched (in a city of 2 million, a country of 9.5 million) defying the ban, and the government was unable to punish anyone.

This actually makes it harder on the organiser that the article is about, because they are desperate to show strength from a place of weakness.
