The European Union is bracing for a difficult autumn as tensions bubble over LGBTQ rights | Analysis by LukeMcGee
Beyond the nasty fallout from Brexit -- arguably the greatest crisis to befall the bloc since its creation -- and recovering from a global pandemic, the 27 member states are gearing up for a huge row over LGBT rights, the rule of law and the role both should play in the Union's future. Tensions have been bubbling for a while, but in recent days, two events have made it clear that the issue cannot be ignored any longer.
The problems Poland and Hungary's opponents face are that not everyone agrees on the legal point, that the action that the Commission or EU Council could actually take is politically limited, and that the wider consequences of unilateral action could create an even bigger mess. "It's all very tense. Several of the more liberal member states are uncomfortable with asking their taxpayers to fund countries whose behavior they abhor," said one EU diplomat.
