Hungarians to be called to referendum on whether or not to limit homosexuality education

The parliament in Hungary opened the way for a referendum on issues related to ΛΟΑΤΚΙ community, offering a boost to his campaign Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban against ΛΟΑΤΚΙ as he prepares for a tough election battle in 2022.

THE Orban, a right-wing nationalist who has been in power since 2010, proposed a referendum this year on a bill passed by the ruling party Fidesz and which limits the teaching in schools of issues related to homosexuality and gender issues.

As he seems to have an unprecedentedly difficult electoral contest ahead of him in the parliamentary elections to be held in 2022, Orban seeks to promote its conservative social policies, which it says protect Christian authorities against Western liberalism, raising gender issues and, as it calls it, ΛΟΑΤΚΙ at the heart of his campaign along with immigration.

Parliament voted on each of the four questions to be put to a referendum, adopting them all thanks to its parliamentary majority Fidesz.

“The Hungarian government proposes that citizens have the opportunity to express their views on gender propaganda issues,” he said. Balban Orban speaking in parliament.

“We are committed. We believe that (…) should be said no to ΛΟΑΤΚΙ “Propaganda carried out in schools with the help of non-governmental organizations and the media, without the consent of parents,” he added.

THE Balban Orban estimated that holding the referendum on the same day as the parliamentary elections would save taxpayers money.

But the President of Hungary Janos Ander, an ally of the government, is going to set the date, which is estimated to be sometime in April.

In the referendum the Hungarians they will be asked if they support the conduct of sex-oriented classes in schools without parental consent and if they believe that the process of gender redefinition should be promoted among children.

They will also be asked if children should see media content that could affect their sexual orientation.

The bill was passed in June, with the government claiming it was intended to protect children, but has raised concerns in the ΛΟΑΤΚΙ community.
