The legal battle between the Court of Justice of the EU and Hungary"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic<br \/>\n        Necessary for some, discriminatory for others, Hungary&#8217;s so-called \u201cchild protection law\u201d has been the subject of a hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Whatever its nature, the ruling could further determine the already tense relationship between Hungary and its EU partners.<br \/>\n    ADVERTISEMENTThe legal text restricts minors&#8217; access to books, films and cultural products that &#8220;promote or portray the deviation of identity with respect to the sex at birth, gender reassignment or homosexuality.&#8221; It also limits sex education in schools, and only government-approved instructors can teach the subject. The Hungarian executive states that it seeks to protect children from pedophilia and \u201camoral content.\u201d \u00a0Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n has repeatedly said that \u201conly parents can decide about the sexual education of their children.\u201d Two years after its approval, books with LGBTQ references were removed from bookstores or can only be displayed wrapped in plastic. The European Commission launched an infringement procedure in 2022.\u00a0 16 EU countries and the European Parliament helped bring the case to the Court of Justice of the EU.\u00a0Critics claim that the law adds to the homo and transphobic legal fabric built by Viktor Orb\u00e1n and his Fidesz Party after more than a decade in power. Previous laws adopted in 2020 had banned same-sex couples from adopting children and eliminated legal recognition of transgender people.The Hungarian LGBTQ community says they feel singled out and openly talk about the fear the law causes them.\u00a0The sculptor Gideon Horv\u00e1th lives and works in Budapest. He mainly uses ceramics and beeswax to evoke the ambivalent duality of human nature, in a plastic exploration of queer identities. One of his works was a victim of the controversial law, he says. It was exhibited for the first time in an open-air cultural space. But when it was later exhibited in a national museum, the official catalog and description removed all mention of its queer artistic significance.\u201cI had no choice but to accept this censorship because otherwise they would not have allowed me to exhibit,\u201d explains the artist. \u201cAnd you have to choose your battles wisely.\u00a0 Censorship works in such a way that it is almost never a high authority that comes and says that you can&#8217;t do that. It is mainly cultural workers and artists who self-censor.\u201dFour government offices, the ruling Fidesz party and a pro-government civil association rejected our interview requests.\u00a0In its legal fight against the law, the European Commission cited violations of Article 2 of the Treaty of the Union and its principles on values \u200b\u200bof human dignity, fundamental rights, protection, equality and solidarity. This approach is a clear sign of the significance of the case and its final ruling, says Eszter Polg\u00e1ri, an expert in European Human Rights jurisprudence. \u201cThe law violates our right to freedom of expression. It is also a kind of violation of freedom of association. Probably the most important (violation) from a human perspective is the right of children to have access to objective, scientifically proven and correct information. Because now they are deprived of the possibility of receiving information in an organized environment, for example, in schools. And they will depend on the Internet, which is not the most reliable source of information when it comes to sexuality and sexual orientation and gender identity,\u201d explains the lawyer.\u00a0The European Commission has recommended that EU funds for Hungary remain frozen due to violations of rule of law principles. The final ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union is not expected for months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Necessary for some, discriminatory for others, Hungary&#8217;s so-called \u201cchild protection law\u201d has been the subject of a hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union.
