Justice min: Brussels can't tell Hungarians how to raise their children

Brussels does not have the authority to tell Hungarians how they should raise their children, the justice ministry said in response to the European Commission's criticism of Hungary's new anti-paedophile law. The law is about the protection of minors and how Hungarian children are raised, the ministry said in a statement, citing its response letter to the EC. Neither the EC nor any other European body has the authority to tell anyone in Hungary how they should live, think, or raise their children, the ministry said. Hungarian children cannot receive sex education without the full consent of the parents, it added.
