“The flag stands against all forms of hatred and division, as its stands for a cohesive society, human dignity, freedom and love, free love,” Karácsony said on Facebook.

“Love is always stronger than hatred, and the power of community can overcome efforts to divide; Budapest is a strong city, a strong community, a city of rights, instead of a city of privileges, where everyone is free to express their opinion, their world view and identity,” the mayor said.
