(ANSA-AFP) - BUDAPEST, JUN 4 - Hungarian prosecutors said Thursday they had dropped charges against organisers of last year's Pride marches, citing a landmark ruling from the EU's top court. Budapest's progressive mayor, Gergely Karacsony, was charged in January for organising the city's 30th Pride parade despite an official ban ordered under the former prime minister, nationalist Viktor Orban. But in April, the European Court of Justice found that Hungary's 2021 anti-LGBTQ legislation -- which served as the basis for the ban -- was in breach of EU rules. Since the ban was based on "a provision that was later found to violate EU law, the facts described in the prosecutor's indictment no longer constitute a criminal offence," prosecutors said in a statement. Charges against activist Geza Buzas-Habel, who organised Hungary's only Pride march outside the capital, have also been dismissed for the same reason. Police told AFP last week they would allow this year's Budapest Pride to take place on June 27 as they found "no grounds for prohibiting" the event. (ANSA-AFP).
