The law in question was introduced in 2021 and included stricter measures targeting people who commit sexual abuse of children. The amendment to the law included a ban on advertising "that depicts or promotes" gender reassignment and homosexuality, among other things.
The European Court of Justice said in a press release that the ban violated EU law on several levels - not least by associating LGBTQ people with sexual abuse of children and thereby fueling stigmatization.
The ruling means the European Court of Justice has upheld the European Commission's case - which had brought legal action against Hungary in the case - on all counts. It sends a clear message to Hungary's election winner, Péter Magyar, to change the legislation.
