European Union countries criticize Hungary LGBT anti-LGBT+ laws
The seventeen European Union countries blamed Hungary on Tuesday (27) by accepting laws targeting LGBTQ+People’s rights.
In March, the Hungarian Parliament passed the law to ban LGBTU+ Pride parades in the country and allowed the police to use facial recognition cameras to identify people involved in these activities. It also accepted constitutional changes in April, and stated that only two sexes of Hungary male and female.
“We are very afraid through these events that are contrary to the basic values of human respect, freedom, equality and human rights,” said the governments of 17 countries in a joint statement.
They urged the Hungary to review these actions and asked the European Commission to utilize their powers if they do not Budapest. The Commission may take legal action if they believe that they are violating EU law on member states.
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Litonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden supported the announcement.
The announcement was made in front of the audience on Tuesday, and in the process, the EU ministers would consider the concerns that the Hungary Alliance was running the risk of violating the basic values.
This process theoretically, Hungary will lose the right to vote for the European Union decisions. But diplomats said there was not enough support between 27 member states to take this measurement.
Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban said Pride Parade administrators “not suffer” to prepare the stop this yearHis Chief of Staff, Gergli Guliaus, mentioned that Hungary “You don’t have to tolerate the stop in the middle of Budapest.”
Orban, who has been in power since 2010, has been contrary to the EU and its member states regarding democratic standards, minority rights and foreign policy.
