Hungary's parliament has enacted a constitutional amendment enabling the government to ban public events organized by LGBTQ+ communities, a move criticized as a shift toward authoritarianism. The amendment, suggested by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz-KDNP coalition, prioritizes children's rights over the right to peaceful assembly. This law follows a similar one passed earlier in the year banning public LGBTQ+ gatherings, such as Budapest's Pride. There are concerns about increasing authoritarian measures as next elections approach, with opposition arguing that democracy is being dismantled.
The recent amendment passed in Hungary allows the government to prohibit public LGBTQ+ events, deemed by critics as a move towards authoritarianism and a threat to democracy.
Lawmakers from the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, justified the amendment by claiming it protects children's rights over the right to assembly.
