Opposition Mayor Charged for Organizing Pride in Budapest
City hall co-organized the parade to bypass new rules banning the event.
Over 200,000 people attended the parade.
Participants face fines up to €500, but police will not act against them.
Prosecutors may charge Karácsony with prison time if convicted.
Karácsony denies accusations as 'absurd' and defends the city's right to host events.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned organizers of 'legal consequences' before the march.
Karácsony claims he took political risks and will defend his city in court.
