The CJEU has ruled that Hungary has violated European law by restricting minors' access to LGBTQ+ content.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has established that Hungary's legislation, which limits minors' access to content related to sexual orientation and gender identity, violates European law.

The decision refers to a law adopted in 2021, which restricts the promotion of homosexuality and gender transition in media materials intended for minors.

The CJEU concluded that the Hungarian measures constitute a serious interference with fundamental rights, including freedom of expression. The case was initiated by the European Commission, supported by 15 member states and the European Parliament. Despite pressures from Brussels, the Hungarian government continued to enforce restrictions, including the banning of Pride marches. The CJEU's decision could lead to financial sanctions if Hungary does not comply, setting an important precedent in upholding the values of the European Union.

Péter Magyar promised to support the right to free expression, including for Pride events.
