June 5 (UPI) -- A legal scholar at the European Union's top court on Thursday said that Hungary's law limiting access to LGBTQ content in schools and on television violates EU law.

A senior legal advisor to the Court of Justice of the European Union has issued an opinion stating that Hungary’s controversial 2021 law restricting LGBTQ+ content breaches EU law. Advocate General Tamara Capeta concluded that the legislation, introduced under the guise of protecting minors, represents an unjustified restriction and violates fundamental European principles.

Hungary has “negated” several of the EU’s fundamental values and “significantly deviated from the model of a constitutional democracy”.

Legal opinion bolsters EU’s challenge against Viktor Orbán’s conservative culture war.
