Viktor Orban's Hungary calls a referendum on the controversial LGBTQ propaganda law at the center of a tug-of-war with the European Union.
The Hungarian premier announced it in a video on Facebook, explaining that it is a referendum on the law that prohibits the "promotion of homosexuality" against minors.
On the law, which according to Brussels discriminates against the LGBTQ community, the European Commission has recently launched an infringement procedure, which leaves Budapest two months to give an answer. The Community Executive in the past weeks had also asked the Orban government to withdraw the law.
