Hungary's largest bookseller, LGBTI+, gathers in plastic "to protect children"
- Librero and editorial Libri will collect books with LGBTI+ content in plastic bags. The aim is not to open books in stores, based on the Child Protection Act of 2021.
Libri, the largest bookstore and publishing company in Hungary, begins to gather in plastic books with LGBTI+ characters, after its acquisition by a private foundation linked to the ultra-right politician Viktor Orbán. Libri has sent an email explaining that the authorities have been forced to comply with the "child protection" law.
In 2021, the government passed a “child protection” law that prohibited the presence of LGBTI+ in educational materials and child television programs. They prohibit the “promotion” of sexualities and gender manifestations extracted from the regulated. It has the same character as the “Ez esan gay” law, passed last year in Florida, along with other anti-LGBTI+ that are being passed in recent years.
The 2021 law mixes homosexuality and paedophilia. So Hungarian consumer advocacy institutions can impose a fine, for example, if we buy a book from a child with a LGBTI+ character, or if these books are not picked up in stores.
Illegal issue
In April, 15 members of the European Union opened legal litigation against the Hungarian anti-LGBTI+ law on child protection. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, defined the law as a "misfortune".
