European heavyweight states join EU lawsuit against Orbán’s child protection law
Germany and France join a legal case against Hungary over its child protection legislation. The laws, which experts think are deliberately conflating paedophilia with homosexuality, and have been labelled as “anti-LGBT” have been a hot topic since 2021.
15 EU-member countries and the European Parliament have joined a legal case against Hungary’s child protection laws, Euronews reports. The European Commission referred Hungary to the Court of Justice of the EU last year, as the commission argues that Hungary violates EU values and the fundamental values of individuals.
“We have seen the various press reports. For us it is clear: the Hungarian law violates EU law, fundamental rights, and EU values. We have taken Hungary to the Court of Justice of the European Union, and it is now up to the Court to decide. We do not wish to comment on the steps of the procedure,” a spokesperson for the European Commission told Népszava.
Western European countries have a clear stance
Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Malta, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, France, Germany and Greece, together with the European Parliament, will act as third parties in the lawsuit filed last year by the European Commission.
As Népszava writes, the countries’ participation in the case is not legally binding, it only has a “symbolic significance”. The contributor countries can express their support for the position of the plaintiff, in this case, the European Parliament.
The Hungarian law prohibits the depiction of homosexuality and gender reassignment in media content and educational material addressed to audiences under 18 years of age. It has been widely criticised for conflating paedophilia with homosexuality.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the Hungarian bill “shameful” in 2021.
“This bill clearly discriminates against people on the basis of their sexual orientation, and it goes against all the fundamental values of the European Union: this is human dignity, it is equality and it’s the human fundamental rights. So, we will not compromise on these principles,” Euronews quotes von der Leyen as saying.
Hungary is not backing down
Despite the international backlash and now the infringement proceedings, the Hungarian government has not changed its stance on the subject.
As we have previously written, the Hungarian government is already working on a new version of the “child protection” laws. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently talked about the issue in his State of the Nation address.
“We don’t care that the world has gone mad, we don’t care what repulsive fads some people indulge in. We do not care what Brussels uses to excuse and explain the inexplicable. This is Hungary! And this is where the strictest child protection system in Europe should be!” said the PM.
It is unclear how the Hungarian government could make the law even stricter, while Hungary is already facing an EU court case, and the EU Commission wants Hungary to withdraw the anti-LGBT measures in order to receive the frozen EU funds.

Are people not listening to Jordan Peterson & many others who have been speaking about the fraud perpetrated on us by that TINY but very LOUD group? (with $$$ behind them from people who want to tear down society…similar to those $$s which went to Black Lives Matter) So many young people have been harmed! And families torn apart. And now there are people walking around who had their muscles in their arms removed to create a penis which can hardly urinate & cannot perform sexual acts to pleasure a partner. There are others waling around who have had their bodies harvested to build vaginas that can never give birth nor pleasure a male partner. And with breasts removed….what about the nipples that used to be such a source of pleasure for both partners? So are these real people that can help society grow in future? As a healthcare worker in elderly care, I certainly will NOT care for such monstrosities! So this is where countries are heading? For what reason? Because the best way to control people is to make them impotent in every way? Starts with illiterate dumb kids because education is no about nonsense instead of reading, writing, math, sciences…because when you are pushing this crazy stuff you are also saying that science is not true.

In the US some parents are trying to fight back against those in schools manipulating children…and those medical practitioners who are becoming millionaires providing the services. Many families have started doing home schooling…some countries forbid that, they want the ideology of being able to mold children to the new doctrines. When there are divorced parents, it becomes complicated since they often do things against each other…with children manipulated in the middle.
That poor father who took his own life. My jaw dropped, unfortunately he’s not the only one. Imagine being a father & your son being manipulated & permanently disfigured due to hormone drugs & surgery. And the courts taking away any chance of saving your boy. How can a mother be so evil to hurt her son. Just horrendous.

Two adults who had transitioned, then realized it did not fix the underlying problems that they actually had…that no one helped repair. Just so sad & so horrible.
And things like puberty blockers given to kids who don’t even know how to clean their room or look after their pets properly or at all. But they are capable of understanding the many longterm intricacies of being a boy or a girl…which shows up on tests a few days after the sperm & egg came into contact with positive results inside a WOMAN who was going to be a mother in 9 months’ time.
can anyone kindly explain me why LGBT exists for thousands of years despite the fact there was not school advertising?
thank you.
J am from the UK and agree with both Kate and FV.
Orbánistan’s shameful and ridiculous law, which is more of a theocratic state than of a secular one, is just ridiculous. It has got nothing to do with supposed child protection, in reality it is just a way to deliver the message the illiberal autocratic regime wants to deliver: homosexuals are pedophiles.
In fact, homosexuals have the same rights and pay same taxes to the gang in power as everyone else.
Secularism in Hungary is dead.
