"In March 2025, three amendments aimed to criminalise LGBTQAI+ demonstrations
and increase biometric surveillance were rushed through the Hungarian
Parliament within 24 hours and without any public debate. These amendments,
which entered into force on 15 April, dramatically expand the use of facial
recognition technology (FRT) in Hungary, including in the context of minor
infractions and peaceful assemblies, such as Budapest Pride.
The Civil Liberties Union for Europe, EDRi, the European Center for
Not-for-Profit Law and the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union believe that this
broadened application of FRT to track and identify individuals attending banned
Pride events and committing even minor infractions violates the
EU AI Act and
the
Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU."
