As for the caricature of Jesús and Cecília Müller, the national medical chief, the Metropolitan Court stated that it is not the court’s task to resolve social conflicts, the MTI reported.

The taunt was published in Népszava last April, so Imre Vejkey, the deputy leader of the KDNP faction, filed a personal rights lawsuit against the newspaper under the Basic Law and Civil Code.

The blasphemous depiction of the cartoon pokes fun at the Christian value system and also pokes fun at the Christian chief physician who worked during the pandemic.

András Veres, president of the Hungarian Catholic Episcopal Conference (MKPK), said Wednesday, calling it outrageous that the court rejected Imre Vejkey’s claim in the first instance on Tuesday.

Verbal reasoning was expressed for the verdict: it can be clearly established for anyone that the drawing denounced in the lawsuit is a caricature in terms of gender, so the court had to judge it taking into account its gender classification, writes the Metropolitan Court. In the judgment of the court of first instance, the creator of the cartoon reflects on the current situation related to the coronavirus epidemic, whose central theme is not religious but public. It was further noted that

the court only decides on questions of law, so that it refrains from expressing a personal opinion in the course of its judicial activity.

According to the notice of the court, the sentence is not final, so the litigant who objects to it may have a normal recourse.
