(Luxembourg) Hungary caught fire in Luxembourg on Tuesday, where 13 European nations called on the commission to act after adopting a law in Budapest banning “promoting” homosexuality among “deeply concerned” children.
During the ministerial meeting, France and the Secretary of State for European Affairs, Clement Beyonc குரல், voiced their regret at the refusal of UEFA Munich, the organizing body for the Euro football tournament, to refrain from illuminating the LGBT community’s stadium for the German-Hungarian match on Wednesday. Budapest was greeted with an end in itself.
With this gesture the German municipality wanted to protest against the law passed in Hungary last week at the initiative of Victor Orban’s Sovereign Party.
The Hungarian referendum prompted an announcement from 13 European countries at the initiative of Belgium. They expressed deep concern over the adoption of amendments by the Hungarian parliament that violate the right to freedom of expression on the pretext of discriminating against LGBTQI people and protecting children.
The declaration was signed by the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and the three Baltic states.
“We urge the European Commission, as a guardian of the treaties, to use all means to ensure full respect for European law, including bringing cases before the European Court of Justice,” the signatories were quoted as saying.
“No à la carte”
“Europe of values is not a la carte menu,” Belgian Foreign Minister Sophie Wilmes underlined in a statement.
Earlier, Luxembourg’s Foreign and European Affairs Minister Jean Azelbourne had defrauded the law of “being unfit for Europe.” “We’re not in the Middle Ages anymore,” he said.
Clement Peon denounced a law that integrated homosexuality into “a kind of threat or propaganda.”
Michael Roth, the German representative for European affairs, said the rules “clearly violate EU values”. His Irish opponent, Thomas Byrne, was concerned about “a very dangerous moment for Hungary and the Union.”
The commission’s chairman, Ursula van der Leyen, expressed concern last week that the EU executive was investigating whether the law “violates EU law”.
The Commission has the power to initiate proceedings in violation of European law against a country, which may lead to a recommendation to the EU Court.
Hungarian law provides that “content that promotes gender identity dissociation, sexual reconstruction and homosexuality should not be accessible to persons under 18 years of age.”

The law states that “sex education of children under the age of 18 is the full responsibility of their parents,” he said, adding that voting in the Hungarian parliament should not be called “a national skill”.
The minister praised the “good feeling” of European football leaders for refusing to light the Munich stadium. However the city has decided to decorate many of its buildings.
Hungary, which has been repeatedly accused of violating Brussels’ legal provisions, is subject to European action (Article 7 of the Convention) as well as Poland. In this context, the ministers of these two countries had to explain themselves to their colleagues on Tuesday.
This is the fourth investigation by the Polish government into allegations of attacks on the independence of the judiciary. This is the third time Hungary has been accused of threatening the freedom of the judiciary, but also of violating freedom of expression and the rights of migrants and refugees.
This Section 7 practice, which is at a preliminary stage in both divisions, will in principle lead to the suspension of a country’s right to vote on the Council, which is an organization representing 27. But this includes the consensus of other members, as long as it is not possible for Warsaw and Budapest to provide mutual support for each other.
