EU urges Hungary to reverse new laws restricting LGBTQ+ rights, facing potential sanctions.

The EU is urging Hungary to reverse new laws that ban Pride events and restrict LGBTQ+ rights, which several EU countries claim violate human rights and democratic values. The laws allow fines for Pride event organizers and the use of facial recognition technology to identify participants. The European Commission has warned it may use its "rule of law toolbox" if Hungary does not revise the measures.
