Hungarian Parliament to Vote on Sweeping Anti-LGBT+ and Citizenship Laws

Viktor Orban's government advances constitutional amendments targeting gender identity and dual citizenship as protests and global criticism grow.

The Hungarian Parliament is set to vote on constitutional amendments reinforcing a binary definition of gender and restricting LGBT+ rights, including a formal ban on Pride marches.
New measures propose suspending citizenship for dual nationals deemed threats to national security, with George Soros cited as a potential target.
The government justifies these actions as protecting children and national security, furthering its conservative agenda since 2019.
Weekly protests in Budapest see thousands demonstrating against these repressive policies, blocking bridges and calling for government accountability.
International legal experts and human rights advocates warn these measures undermine democratic freedoms and could violate international law.
