Hungary has vetoed the EU strategy on the rights of the child. The reason: LGBTQ lobby
At a meeting of the Ministers of Justice in Luxembourg, the Polish and Hungarian governments vetoed the children’s rights strategy – writes the HVG. According to Justice Minister Judit Varga, the strategy serves the purpose of admitting LGBTQ activists to schools. There is no such thing in the strategy.
“Action against violence against children or child prostitution, but even ensuring the rights of children with special educational needs or disabilities, even rejecting all forms of discrimination, was not important to them in granting extra rights to the LGBTQ lobby,” he wrote. Facebook page.
Slovenian Justice Minister Marjan Dikaučič, on behalf of the Presidency-in-Office, said that not all support had been won and that negotiations on the proposal should continue at technical level. According to Dikaučič, serious efforts were made to persuade the two vetoing ministers to find a compromise solution, but to no avail.
Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said non-discrimination is an essential element of any similar strategy. They want to prevent all citizens from being discriminated against, and this is the need to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.
The European Commission presented a strategy on the rights of the child on 24 March, proposing thematic actions in six areas. Among other things, it includes the right of children to make good use of their talents from their social background, their right to a life free from violence, or even their right to child-friendly justice.
