US Edition17 EU countries sound alarm over Hungarian LGBTQ+ laws
- On May 27, 2025, seventeen EU countries urged Hungary to reverse a draft law banning Budapest Pride events during an EU General Affairs Council hearing in Brussels.
- This demand followed Hungary's introduction of the 'Transparency of Public Life' bill on May 13, which critics say could impose fines and use AI to identify Pride participants, raising human rights concerns.
- The European Commission called on Hungary to withdraw the bill, describing it as a serious breach of EU law, while Hungarian minister Jnos Bka rejected the criticism and asserted political hysteria.
- EU ministers acknowledged lengthy discussions since 2018 and expressed frustration, with Sweden's Jessica Rosencrantz stating the need to consider next steps as 'patience is disappearing day by day.'
- Increasing resistance within the EU indicates that, unless Hungary alters the contentious law, Brussels may activate its full range of rule of law enforcement mechanisms amid ongoing concerns regarding rights and freedoms in the country.
