Libri bows to pressure to comply with ‘child protection’ law after takeover by foundation linked to PM

Libri, which is also the country’s largest publisher, said in an email that the packaging was a request from the Hungarian consumer protection authority to follow the controversial “child protection” law that came into force in 2021.
