Hungary on EU watchlist over surveillance at Pride
Hungary on EU watchlist over surveillance at Pride – POLITICO
The European Union is looking into whether Hungary’s plan to deploy facial recognition technology to identify people attending LGBTQ+ Pride events is illegal.
Test on gays, continue on political protests. And what does the EU do? Creating lists...
Does someone here know if that watchlist means anything or is it just an alternative to deep concern?
Is banning Pride events as a whole legal under EU law?
Because of national laws about gay marriage differencing greatly and there being a lot of countries where religion plays a serious role in politics i wanted to share with you the actual legal articles, since these are quite easy to understand and the eu has these laws in all languages as well.
This is from the English version of the CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

tl;dr No, it is not legal.
Should be in the ban list imho
