Hungary: Draft Law Aims to Relax Anti-LGBT+ Legislation Enacted Under Viktor Orban
The government led by Péter Magyar is proposing to remove the ban on "promotion of homosexuality" to minors, with the goal of bringing Hungarian law into alignment with European Union legislation.
The Hungarian government, led by Péter Magyar, has presented a draft law aimed at amending the anti-LGBT+ legislation introduced under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, according to Le Monde.
According to the newspaper, the bill proposes to remove the ban on "promotion of homosexuality" to minors, a controversial provision introduced by the previous government. The stated objective of the executive is to bring Hungarian legislation into line with European Union law.
The anti-LGBT+ law adopted under Viktor Orban had drawn sharp criticism within the European Union, with several institutions and member states arguing that it violated the non-discrimination principles upheld by the bloc.
Le Monde notes that this draft law reflects the intent of Péter Magyar's government to bring Hungary closer to European legal standards, while providing no details at this stage regarding the timeline for adoption of the bill or the precise details of the proposed reform.
