The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on Tuesday that Hungary, under outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, violated EU law by restricting access to LGBTQIA+-related content, contributing to the stigmatisation and marginalisation of gay and transgender people. The court found Hungary had breached Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union — which enshrines core values including human dignity and human rights — as well as rules on the free provision of services and data protection. The ruling carries broader significance as Hungary enters a political transition following the April 12 election victory of Péter Magyar, whose stance on LGBTQIA+ rights remains ambiguous, and comes after Orbán's government last year banned Pride marches and authorised police use of facial recognition technology to identify participants.
