15 EU members have already joined the European Commission's lawsuit against Hungary for its anti-LGBT legislation.
This is reported by Nepszava.
By the deadline of April 6, only fifteen members of the European Union announced their participation in the lawsuit on the side of the EC, among the latter - Germany and France.
Austria, Belgium, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia and the European Parliament have also done this before.
Participating in the lawsuit is rather a symbolic step and implies that countries can express their position to the EU Court in support of the applicant's position.
The review is due to take place in the second half of 2023, with a decision expected in 2024.
As you know, in 2021 the European Commission started a procedure for violation in connection with the adoption of legislation by Hungary, which can be considered as discrimination regarding sexual orientation and gender identity and a violation of a number of fundamental principles of the EU and rules of the internal market.
The Venice Commission also concluded that the Hungarian law, which prohibits the teaching of homosexuality and transgender issues in schools, violates international human rights standards.
When Budapest did not want to respond to the remarks, Brussels decided to refer the matter to the Court of Justice of the EU.
