The European Affairs Minister has expressed his deep concerns regarding a new Hungarian anti-LGBTQI+ law.
Thomas Byrne says the new legislation passed by the Hungarian Parliament on the 15th of June provides for restrictions on LGBTQI+ content in media.
He says there's also a de facto prohibition on talks on issues affecting them in schools and educational programmes.
Minister Byrne is asking the Hungarian government and parliament to reconsider this damaging legislation.
