EU Court Rejects Hungary's Anti-LGBTQ Law
This landmark ruling represents a significant legal defeat for the policies of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The court stated that the restrictions on LGBTQ content for minors and the ban on Pride marches were 'contrary to the identity of the union.' The decision sets up an immediate test for Hungary's new leader, Peter Magyar, who must now decide whether to repeal the controversial measures.
Campaigners have hailed the verdict as a historic victory for human rights and equality within the 27-nation bloc.
