Soros' Hungarian citizens also reacted to the fact that the referendum on the child protection law was scheduled for April 3rd. Ten NGOs called on their followers to vote invalidly on the issue of the draft law.
Following the news that János Áder has set the date for the election, ten civil organizations urge all voters to cast an invalid vote, "so that we can all live in safety and equality in Hungary". The questions of the referendum are considered hateful, which ostracize sexual and gender minorities, writes Pesti Srácok 444 articles .
The referendum is particularly vile for two reasons. On the one hand, the wording of the questions suggests that young people are hurt by hearing about sexual and gender minorities, and on the other hand, it violates the dignity of LGBTQI people. The use of words is deliberately manipulative: he wants to use the natural concern and protective intent of parents for their children for his own political purposes. For the second time, the Fidesz-KDNP government is building its election campaign on inciting hatred against a vulnerable group
- they write in the announcement, where everyone is asked to vote invalidly in the referendum, by ticking the "Yes" and "No" circles on the ballot at the same time, for each referendum question.
Invalid answers must be given to invalid questions. Every invalid vote helps keep the government's expulsion referendum from reaching the threshold for validity. Let's prove once again that Hungarians want to live in an accepting society, let's reject the government's exclusionary and hateful policy
