Hungary approves constitutional amendment to ban public LGBTQ+ events
2025-04-14 19:35:07 / BOTA
Hungary's parliament on Monday approved an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities, a decision that legal scholars and critics call another step toward authoritarianism by the populist government.
The amendment, which required a two-thirds majority, passed along party lines with 140 votes in favor and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Before the vote – the final step for the amendment – opposition politicians and other protesters attempted to block the entrance to a parliament parking garage. Police physically removed the demonstrators, who had used chains to tie themselves up.
The amendment states that children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development supersede any other right except the right to life, including the right to peaceful assembly. Hungary’s controversial “child protection” legislation prohibits the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality to minors under the age of 18.
