Budapest's mayor has been questioned by police as a suspect in helping to organise a banned LGBTQ march in the city.
The event took place on June 28 despite warnings of potential legal repercussions by Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose government passed a law earlier this year banning the event.
Organisers say that despite threats of fines, a record 200,000 people took part in the rally, which swiftly descended into an anti-government protest.
Wearing a rainbow T-shirt featuring the capitals coat of arms, Mayor Gergely Karacsony, who appeared at Hungary's National Bureau of Investigation on Friday, told supporters: "Neither freedom nor love can be banned in Budapest".
If charged and convicted, Karacsony could face up to a year in prison for organising and encouraging participation in a banned march.
