The Guardian: Oradea e singurul oraș important din Europa care blochează Marșul Pride

Oradea is the only major European city where local authorities repeatedly block the Pride March, drawing international attention and comparisons to Budapest under Orbán. Activists have faced consistent refusals for four years, citing technical reasons for the bans. Over 152 organizations have called for the march to be allowed, emphasizing that such restrictions indicate a democratic regression. Despite the lack of official authorization, organizers plan to proceed with the march, highlighting broader issues of public assembly rights and democracy. The local mayor has not commented on the situation.
