Hungary Amends Constitution Targeting Gays, War and Public Funds

Hungary’s parliament approved a package of laws that curtail the rights of gays, detail rules governing war times and loosen oversight of public funds.
The new legislation, enshrined in a constitutional amendment, continues Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s march away from the European Union’s mainstream. It comes days after the nationalist leader lifted his veto threat that, along with Poland’s, had held up the bloc’s $2.2 trillion spending over their objections to tying funding to whether members uphold the rule of law.
