Hungary's nominee for justice minister, Marta Gorog, addressed the need to amend the country's child protection law following a ruling by the European Court of Justice. This decision was revealed on Tuesday.

The court found that Hungary's previous administration had breached European law. The controversial ruling stemmed from legislation that restricted or prohibited access to LGBTQ content, effectively marginalizing gay and transgender individuals.

Gorog's statement signals an impending revision of the law to align with European standards and protect the rights of all communities within Hungary.
