Justice min: EU not interested in govt's position on sex ed law

The Hungarian government was "mistaken" when it thought the European Union would be interested in its position on Hungary's new sex education law, Justice Minister Judit Varga said in a blog post on abouthungary.hu on Friday. The minister posted an op-ed on Hungary's new law which she said Brussels-based news outlet Politico had refused to publish. In the op-ed, the minister said that "no one" in the international press cared that a joint statement issued by several European countries expressing concern over the law "contains false allegations and falsifies the merit of the Hungarian law by suppressing essential parts thereof".
