3/ On substance: The Commission seems intent on waiting for the C-769/22 judgment before acting on Hungary’s latest anti-🏳️‍🌈 legislation. That’s a mistake, even if the #CJEU rules against Hungary. I explain why in this @unioslo-arena.bsky.social policy brief 👇

So by standing w/ Hungarians marching despite threat of govt sanctions at #BudapestPride, the @ec.europa.eu apparently means standing for a photo-op after the presser today, and not standing in the streets tomorrow.

Apparently, "the exceptionally short [3 day] deadline for judicial review of" the police ban makes it impossible to ask constitutional or EU courts for input. 🙃 So, administrative deadlines now trump examining whether Hungary’s laws align with EU law?

Eppo Bruins, apparently. From PR of BUD Pride organisers yesterday:

tbh, I'm a bit sceptical of their list, e.g. "A European Commission official" ytd said Comm. Lahbib will only attend if it isn't banned. The legal uncertainty around its status is... convenient :)

Propaganda outlets ran headlines like “The police banned, but the Curia allowed the Sunday afternoon mini-Pride in Budapest.” The Court’s press dept. shot back, denying “that the Curia decided in favour of Pride” & said it was “considering taking further legal action.”
