A rights organization has publicly called on Hungary to repeal its anti-LGBTQ law, citing a recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union that found the legislation incompatible with EU law.

The organization's demand goes beyond the court's judgment itself. Rather than inviting the Hungarian government to amend or reinterpret the contested provisions, it presses for full legislative repeal — a step that would require action by the Hungarian parliament, not merely executive compliance with the ruling.

What did the EU court decide?

The EU court's ruling addressed Hungary's law targeting LGBTQ-related content. The rights organization framed its demand as a direct consequence of that judgment, arguing that anything short of repeal leaves the underlying statutory framework in place despite the court's findings.

The call puts the onus squarely on Budapest. Compliance with a CJEU judgment can take several forms — enforcement stays, targeted amendments, or wholesale repeal — and the organization has made clear it regards only the last option as adequate.

What does this mean for practitioners?

For lawyers and compliance teams, the development signals continued legal risk around the Hungarian statute. A standing EU court judgment against the law, combined with an organized campaign for its repeal, suggests the provisions will remain contested terrain in domestic litigation, EU infringement proceedings and regulatory enforcement. Practitioners advising media, educational and civil-society clients operating in Hungary should track both parliamentary responses in Budapest and any follow-up action from EU institutions.

What happens next?

The decision now rests with Hungarian lawmakers. The rights organization's public appeal adds political pressure to the legal pressure already created by the court's ruling, but repealing the law requires a parliamentary majority that the Hungarian government has not indicated it will provide.
