The President of the Republic has signed the law that makes legal gender recognition impossible despite human rights concerns raised by domestic and international bodies.
Almost two years after the suspension of gender and name change requests, Parliament has passed a bill that prohibits the legal gender recognition of transgender people. Although the European Parliament, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and other international players opposed the bill, the Government did not refrain from introducing a law violating a constitutional fundamental right. LGBTI organizations have now turned to the President of the Republic asking him to send the law for review to the Constitutional Court.
The legal situation of the LGBTI community in Europe worsened the most in Hungary in the last year, according to the Rainbow Europe map published by ILGA-Europe on Thursday. The suspension of legal gender recognition procedures and the lack of security at LGBTI events played the biggest role in Hungary falling from 19th to 27th place in just one year. The report also highlights hate speech by politicians.
