Brussels – EU leaders holding a summit Thursday attacked Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban over a new law in his country banning LGBTQ content in schools, which they view as homophobic and contrary to EU values.Orban was virtually isolated as most of his 26 counterparts rounded on him in what one EU official described as an “in-depth and at times even emotional debate.” The most strident was Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte — who, on his way into the summit, had told journalists “for me, Hungary has no place in the EU anymore.”Facing Orban inside, Rutte said: “You have passed the line.
This time it is too much,” according to another EU official in the room.Others joined in the criticism, delivering a scathing broadside to Hungary’s.
