French Minister for European Affairs Clement Bonn received “political pressure” from the Polish authorities to prevent him from visiting one of the “ideology-free” ΛΟΑΤΚΙ zones “that have been established in Poland during his visit to the country, reports APE.
“I informed the Polish authorities that I was going to a Polish town called Krasnik” on the sidelines of an official visit earlier this week, the French minister explained to France Inter. “They did not want me to go there. There was no physical prohibition. “It was political pressure,” he said. I was warned that “if I went, there would be no formal talks during this visit”.
“I think it is very serious, but I do not want to confront a government, what is very serious is the situation itself, not my personal case,” he continued.
With the support of the Polish government, dozens of Polish communities were declared “ideologically free LGBTQI zones” in protest of the support of the LGBTQI community by Warsaw Mayor Rafal Czaszlowski, one of the anti-LGBT people.
The rights of homosexuals has become a hot topic in Poland following the rise to power of the populist super-conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS), which is campaigning against the “LOATKI ideology”, which it likens to communism.
The French minister, who announced in December that he was gay, reminded that the European Parliament will vote today on a decision declaring the European Union a “freedom zone” for LGBTQI rights and that at the end of last year the EU approved a mechanism links the disbursement of European spaces with respect for the rule of law.
