EU court rejects Hungary's LGBTQ law

In a landmark decision, Europe's highest court has struck down a controversial Hungarian law that banned the 'promotion of homosexuality' among minors.

The ruling represents a significant legal victory for the European Commission and 16 member states that challenged the policy.

The court declared that the law infringed upon the foundational principles of the EU treaty, including dignity and equality.

The judgment poses an immediate challenge for Hungary's new leadership, which must now decide whether to repeal the legislation to avoid further sanctions and financial penalties.
