ready to open infringement proceedings against Hungary

by time news

Time.news – “The new Hungarian law says among other things, that films, information, LGBT publications can no longer be shown to young people under the age of 18 because it will have consequences on the physical and moral development of minors. Practically homosexuality and transsexuality are placed on the same level as pornography. And this law does not serve the protection of children, it is used as a pretext to discriminate people’s sexual orientation. This law is shameful. “

The words of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, are very harsh, in her speech in plenary in Strasbourg against Hungary and its new anti-Lgtbq law in force as of today, which – says the president – “profoundly contradicts the fundamental values ​​of the EU: the protection of minorities, human dignity, equality and the protection of human rights. These values ​​are anchored in article two of our treaty. The heads of government and state have decided to fully support the Commission and of course I will use all the tools available to the Commission. to defend these fundamental values ​​”, added the leader of the EU executive.

Again: “Regarding the Hungarian law per se, Commissioners Reynders and Breton have written to the Hungarian authority to express our legal concerns to them. If Hungary does not adjust the game, the commission will use the powers vested in it in quality of guarantor of the treaties “. Then the final thrust: “Since the beginning of our mandate we have opened about forty infringement procedures linked to the protection of the rule of law. And if necessary we will open other procedures. We cannot stand and watch. When there are areas that are declared lgbt free. We will never let any part of our society be stigmatized for its ideas. “
