András Schiffer doesn't like it. Neither is the now-adopted anti-pedophile law, but even less so, as Ursula von der Leyen reacted to it. The former president of the LMP, who cannot be accused of pro-government, reacted to the EC leader's outburst on his social media page.
"I wrote my criticism of the slightly homophobic amendment to the anti-pedophile law in two ways: it is cynically stigmatizing, unreasonably discriminatory, at least for the 14-18 age group, and the phrase "promotion of homosexuality" does not meet the requirement of normative clarity.
However, the statement of EU Commission President Von Der Leyen It not only discriminates based on sexual orientation, but also goes against the fundamental values of the EU. There is no compromise on this." Now then, let's see those famous European values in which there is no compromise.
In 1989-1990, the upright German governing parties, which knew no compromise on "fundamental values", embraced the Hungarian post-communist leaders (and their party), under whose rule the secret service blackmailed and ruined people with homosexuality, and immediately led them to the European salons . people were dragged away because of relationships, it was not possible to found a homosexual association or hold a parade.
Then in the 1990s - in the spirit of "fundamental values" - Brussels brought Hungary to the door of accession in such a way that Hungarian criminal law still discriminated against homosexuals : decision 37/2002 (IX. 4.) AB weeded out the last homophobic passage of the Btk . -from. Then Hungary - again in the spirit of "basic values" - joined the EU on May 1, 2004, even though Hungarian law did not yet recognize the cohabitation of same-sex couples. This can only be done by Act XXIX of 2009 on the registered partnership. made by law.
Today in Hungary, criminal law does not persecute or discriminate against homosexuality, it is possible to found a homosexual association, organize a parade, and the law on registered partnerships is still in force. Regardless, the Fidesz law amendment is bullshit. But we Hungarians have to solve this. Without German assistance.”
