Since 2010, when we "live in a dictatorship" in Hungary, not a single book has been banned, Demeter Szilárd told Mandiner . The general director of the Petőfi Literary Museum explained that the popularity of printed books is decreasing, which also contains dangers.
In relation to the fact that, due to the Child Protection Act, it is mandatory for bookstores to display LGBTQ publications in the children and youth section, Demeter Szilárd said: he agrees that elementary school children do not need to be educated about what sexual habits exist, as they do not understand the problem due to their age.
Children's ability to accept does not need to be sensitized
- said the director general of PIM, adding that he believes that children accept differences by default, because they don't see same-sex couples, but two people who love each other.
He expressed concern about the future of literature: the popularity of printed books is decreasing more and more, which also contains dangers, as this weakens our problem-solving and problem-recognizing ability - said Szilárd Demeter.
