EU slams Hungary’s anti-LGBT law as a ‘disgrace’

The European Parliament says the new legislation breaches “EU values, principles and law”… and this is “another intentional and premeditated example of the gradual dismantling of fundamental rights in Hungary”.

It comes as Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban says this latest policy is a discussion for his country’s leaders and not “Brussels bureaucrats”.

The European Union voted 459 to 147 in favour of addressing the latest developments in Hungary, with 58 member nations abstaining.

It is possible that the European Commission will respond to Hungary’s new laws by reducing budget allocations to the country – a new tool that may force Hungary to reverse the laws.

The President of the EU Commission says “the legislation uses the protection of children as an excuse to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation” and labelling it a “disgrace”.

But Hungary’s PM hit back, saying “whatever they do… we will not allow LGBT activists into our children’s kindergartens and schools”.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
