The European Union will begin legal proceedings against Hungary and Poland for laws the bloc says discriminate against LGBTQ people as the EU steps up its fight against democratic backsliding.
The European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, will send the so-called letters of formal notice as soon as Thursday, according to people familiar with the decision who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
