    The Spin

    Right narrative

    This decision rightfully upholds Hungary's commitment to shielding children from explicit and provocative content in public. It reinforces the constitutional priority of minors' moral development by curbing inappropriate displays. The so-called pushback to this comes from the corrupt EU, which, through its strategic silence and liberal parliamentary pressure, is seeking to undermine Hungarian sovereignty.

    Left narrative

    Hungary isn't upholding its sovereignty, it's blatantly violating EU values and human rights, stifling freedom of assembly, and targeting LGBTQ+ people. This law, rushed through Parliament, defies European court statutes, promoting discrimination and chilling dissent with facial recognition threats. The EU's silence enables Hungary's authoritarian slide, undermining democracy. Brussels isn't doing enough to combat Budapest's authoritarian agenda.
