On April 16, 2025, a delegation from the European Parliament accused Hungary's government of further restricting LGBTQI+ rights. This follows the approval of a constitutional amendment prohibiting gatherings that promote or display gender reassignment or homosexuality.
The European Parliament delegation, led by Tineke Strik, stated that the new law endangers freedom of expression. The delegation urged the European Commission to intervene to prevent the ban on Pride marches.
The delegation has sent a letter to the European Commission requesting immediate action from the Court of Justice. This action aims to ensure the Pride march can proceed legally and peacefully. The Hungarian government has been criticized for its hostile stance during meetings and its failure to comply with rulings from European courts regarding the rule of law.
