(ANSA-AFP) - LUXEMBOURG, JUN 5 - The European Court of Justice's top legal advisor recommended Thursday that Hungary be declared in breach of EU law over anti-LGBTQ legislation adopted in 2021, in a case pitting Budapest against a majority of its EU partners. The European Commission, 16 of 27 member states and the European Parliament took Hungary to the EU's top court over the law, in what has been billed as the largest human rights case in the bloc's history. Originally aimed at toughening punishments for child abuse, the law was amended to ban the "promotion of homosexuality" to under-18s. It outraged activists and leaders across the EU who criticised it for stigmatising LGBTQ people and equating same-sex relations to paedophilia. The top legal advisor to the Luxembourg court, Tamara Capeta, considers the bill to violate core EU precepts of non-discrimination and fundamental rights as well as undermining its rules on services and audiovisual media, a court statement said. She recommended that the court declare Budapest in "infringement" of Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), which sets out the fundamental values on which the bloc is founded. (ANSA-AFP).
