The Constitutional Court on February 2, 2023 finally rendered its decision in one of the pending cases on the impossibility of legal gender recognition for trans people.

Saturday, April 9, 2022

On Sunday, more than 1.6 million Hungarians cast invalid votes to reject the government's manipulative and fear-mongering referendum.
