Hungary's parliament has passed a series of constitutional amendments that significantly restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, including a ban on public LGBTQ+ events.
The government claims the measures are intended to protect children and national sovereignty, but critics argue they are politically motivated and serve to distract from other domestic issues. The legislation also targets foreign-funded organizations, which the government accuses of undermining Hungary’s independence. Human rights groups have condemned the move as a major setback for civil liberties and democratic freedoms.
The timing of the legislation suggests it may be part of a broader strategy to rally conservative voters ahead of upcoming elections.
