ECJ Finds Hungary’s LGBTQ Law Violates EU Rights

The European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary’s 2021 anti-LGBTQ law breaches EU law on multiple levels, infringing the rights of transgender and non-heterosexual people and violating EU values of dignity, equality, and minority protections. The ruling, described as a landmark, stems from a case brought by the European Commission alongside 16 member states and the European Parliament, and it could pressure Hungary as it faces stalled EU funds under the new administration of Peter Magyar.

The judges also found that the regulation, introduced during the pandemic, was not an effective measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
