BUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s parliament on Monday handed an modification to the structure that enables the federal government to ban public occasions by LGBTQ+ communities, a call that authorized students and critics name one other step towards authoritarianism by the populist authorities.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán speaks during his annual international press conference in Budapest, Hungary, Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024.

The modification, which required a two-thirds vote, handed alongside occasion traces with 140 votes for and 21 in opposition to. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Forward of the vote — the ultimate step for the modification — opposition politicians and different protesters tried to blockade the doorway to a parliament parking storage. Police bodily eliminated demonstrators, who had used zip ties to bind themselves collectively.

The modification declares that kids’s rights to ethical, bodily and non secular growth supersede any proper apart from the precise to life, together with that to peacefully assemble. Hungary’s contentious “child protection” laws prohibits the “depiction or promotion” of homosexuality to minors aged beneath 18.

The modification codifies a legislation fast-tracked by parliament in March that bans public occasions held by LGBTQ+ communities, together with the favored Delight occasion in Budapest that pulls hundreds yearly.

That legislation additionally permits authorities to make use of facial recognition instruments to determine individuals who attend prohibited occasions — akin to Budapest Delight — and might include fines of as much as 200,000 Hungarian forints ($546).

Dávid Bedő, a lawmaker with the opposition Momentum occasion who participated within the tried blockade, mentioned earlier than the vote that Orbán and Fidesz for the previous 15 years “have been dismantling democracy and the rule of law, and in the past two or three months, we see that this process has been sped up.”

He mentioned as elections strategy in 2026 and Orbán’s occasion lags within the polls behind a well-liked new challenger from the opposition, “they will do everything in their power to stay in power.”

Opposition lawmakers used air horns to disrupt the vote, which continued after a number of moments.

Hungary’s authorities has campaigned in opposition to LGBTQ+ communities lately, and argues its “child protection” insurance policies, which forbid the supply to minors of any materials that mentions homosexuality, are wanted to guard kids from what it calls “woke ideology” and “gender madness.”

Critics say the measures do little to guard kids and are getting used to distract from extra critical issues going through the nation and mobilize Orbán’s right-wing base forward of elections.

“This whole endeavor which we see launched by the government, it has nothing to do with children’s rights,” mentioned Dánel Döbrentey, a lawyer with the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union, calling it “pure propaganda.”

Structure acknowledges two sexes

The brand new modification additionally states that the structure acknowledges two sexes, female and male, an enlargement of an earlier modification that prohibits same-sex adoption by stating {that a} mom is a girl and a father is a person.

The declaration supplies a constitutional foundation for denying the gender identities of transgender individuals, in addition to ignoring the existence of intersex people who’re born with sexual traits that don’t align with binary conceptions of female and male.

In a press release on Monday, authorities spokesperson Zoltán Kovács wrote that the change is “not an attack on individual self-expression, but a clarification that legal norms are based on biological reality.”

Döbrentey, the lawyer, mentioned it was “a clear message” for transgender and intersex individuals: “It is definitely and purely and strictly about humiliating people and excluding them, not just from the national community, but even from the community of human beings.”

The modification is the fifteenth to Hungary’s structure since Orbán’s occasion unilaterally authored and authorised it in 2011.

Facial recognition to determine demonstrators

Ádám Remport, a lawyer with the HCLU, mentioned that whereas Hungary has used facial recognition instruments since 2015 to help police in legal investigations and discovering lacking individuals, the current legislation banning Delight permits the know-how for use in a much wider and problematic method. That features for monitoring and deterring political protests.

“One of the most fundamental problems is its invasiveness, just the sheer scale of the intrusion that happens when you apply mass surveillance to a crowd,” Remport mentioned.

“More salient in this case is the effect on the freedom of assembly, specifically the chilling effect that arises when people are scared to go out and show their political or ideological beliefs for fear of being persecuted,” he added.

Suspension of citizenship

The modification handed Monday additionally permits for Hungarians who maintain twin citizenship in a non-European Financial Space nation to have their citizenship suspended for as much as 10 years if they’re deemed to pose a risk to public order, public safety or nationwide safety.

Hungary has taken steps in current months to guard its nationwide sovereignty from what it claims are overseas efforts to affect its politics and even topple Orbán’s authorities.

The self-described “illiberal” chief has accelerated his longstanding efforts to crack down on critics akin to media retailers and teams dedicated to civil rights and anti-corruption, which he says have undermined Hungary’s sovereignty by receiving monetary help from worldwide donors.

In a speech laden with conspiracy theories in March, Orbán in contrast individuals who work for such teams to bugs, and pledged to “eliminate the entire shadow army” of foreign-funded “politicians, judges, journalists, pseudo-NGOs and political activists.”
