The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and nearly 50 other civil society organizations are urging the European Commission to defend human rights in Hungary, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals. As Budapest Pride approaches, Hungary has enacted laws criminalizing Pride marches and allowing real-time facial recognition technology to target participants, violating EU rights. Recent amendments were rushed through without public input, breaching EU regulations and principles. The group's letter calls for intervention from the European Commission to address these human rights violations and uphold the rights of all Hungarians, particularly the LGBTQ+ community.
The European Commission's responsibility to uphold EU fundamental rights is critical, particularly regarding the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, amidst Hungary's recent troubling legislation.
Hungary's use of real-time facial recognition at 'banned protests' represents a severe violation of fundamental rights, contrary to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
Recent amendments in Hungary restricting Pride marches were passed without public consultation, showcasing a concerning disregard for democratic processes and fundamental rights.
Civil society organizations call for urgent intervention from the European Commission to defend human rights and address the growing oppression of LGBTQ+ individuals in Hungary.
