    They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

    If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

    Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

    In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

    Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…

      Don’t be surprise if it reappears as an attachment to a fishing quota law or a law defining sizes for underwear…

          Actually, this is a common occurance in the US and EU. One of the previous, court-captured laws actually was riding with fishing quota regulations.

      Hungary will take the EU presidency, they just name it “child protection” and will smear everyone as a pedophile who objects it.
