EU’s top court finds Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law in breach of key values
ECJ says law passed in 2021 discriminatory and ‘contrary to the identity of the union’, in early test for incoming PM
The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values, setting up an early test for the incoming prime minister Péter Magyar’s government when it takes power next month.
In a wide-ranging judgment, the European court of justice said the 2021 law that bans content about LGBTQ+ people from schools and primetime TV was at odds with a society based on pluralism and fundamental rights such as prohibition of discrimination and freedom of expression.
