The Hungarian Bill against the LGBTQI+ minority and North Macedonia’s policy win with UEFA

from Today in the EU · host EURACTIV

This week, the Yellow Room takes us to Budapest, where the government passed a new bill introducing tougher penalties for paedophilia, in the wake of several cases of child abuse. However, the new amendments associate the LGBTQI+ minority with pedophiles and bans the portrayal of the homosexual and trans identity to underaged. To shed some light on these new amendments we spoke with EURACTIV’s Vlad Maksimov. And remaining outside Brussels, we are talking about the Euro football championship and why North Macedonia asked UEFA to intervene after the inappropriate comments of an Austrian player towards the Albanian minority of the country. To hear more on the story, we were joined by Niko Kurmayer from EURACTIV Germany.
