Will Hungary leave the EU before 2030?

The European Court of Justice ruled on April 22, 2025, that Hungary's 2021 law restricting LGBTQ+ content for minors breached EU law on multiple levels, including Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union, which enshrines the bloc's core values.

Hungary's 2021 legislation, introduced under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, banned the depiction or promotion of homosexuality and gender transition to under-18s in schools, media and advertising. The law was originally framed as a child protection measure targeting paedophilia.

The ECJ found the law stigmatises and marginalises LGBTQ+ people by linking their identities to paedophilia, and ruled it violated rights including human dignity, freedom of expression and protections against discrimination based on sex and sexual orientation.

It marked the first time the ECJ found a member state in breach of Article 2 of the EU treaty solely on the basis of undermining fundamental values. The court also found Hungary violated EU data protection rules by allowing overly broad access to sex offenders' criminal records.

The European Commission, 16 of 27 EU member states and the European Parliament backed the case against Hungary. The court ordered Budapest to comply "without delay" and to pay legal costs, with financial penalties possible if Hungary fails to act.

Incoming Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who defeated Orbán in an April 12 election after 16 years in power, has expressed support for equality but has not taken a definitive public stance on repealing the law. Rights groups have called repeal a prerequisite for credible EU-aligned reform.
