Commission v Hungary (C-769/22)
European Court of Justice case
Commission v Hungary (C-769/22) is a judgement of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered in April 2026 concerning an anti-LGBTI law enacted by Hungary. The Court ruled that the law violates the founding values of the European Union as enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), as well as Article 1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR), regarding the inviolability of human dignity. It is the first time that either article has been applied in a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union. It pitted the European Commission, the European Parliament, and a majority of the member states of the European Union against Hungary.
In June 2021, the National Assembly of Hungary enacted the anti-LGBTI law which prohibited minors from accessing any content pertaining to LGBTI people and LGBTI rights. In July 2021, the European Commission gave formal notice to the Government of Hungary of its intent to launch infringement proceedings against Hungary for the failure to adhere to core EU values. In July 2022, the case was taken to court. By April 2023, the majority of the member states of the European Union and the European Parliament joined the European Commission as applicants. In November 2024, the case was heard before the Full Court of the ECJ, consisting of all 27 judges. In June 2025, an Advocate General Tamara Ćapeta issued a preliminary opinion in support of the applicants and against the defendant on all counts.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
