Euroopa Kohus: Ungari LGBTQ-vastane seadus rikub EL-i õigust

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) issued a significant ruling on the second day of proceedings, determining that legislation passed by Hungary in 2021, which was deemed anti-LGBTQ, conflicts with established European Union law. Specifically, the court found that the law contravenes articles within the foundational treaties that define the core values of the union. The legal challenge originated from Hungary, which brought the case before the ECJ, naming the European Commission, the 27 Member States, and the European Parliament as defendants.

This litigation has been characterized as one of the most substantial human rights cases in the history of the European integration. The ruling underscores the supremacy of EU law over national legislation when fundamental rights are at stake. By invalidating a national law based on its conflict with overarching EU principles, the kohus reinforces the legal framework governing the Euroopa community.

The judgment sets a critical precedent regarding the harmonization of fundamental rights across all member states, directly impacting the legal standing of Ungari within the bloc. The decision signals that adherence to the EU’s foundational values is a mandatory condition for national lawmaking processes within the bloc.
