PM Office: Linking child protection law, EU subsidies ‘detrimental’
Change language:
The European Union will “come to ruin” if “unrelated issues are linked”, Gergely Gulyás, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, told his weekly press conference on Thursday.
Gulyás said that the EU’s “legally linking” community recovery funds and Hungary’s recent child protection law was “an extremely negative development”.
Gulyás insisted that Hungary was entitled to the funds, but emphasised that being an EU member was in Hungary’s interest.
“There are more arguments for the EU membership than against it.”
Concerning the contested legislation, Gulyás said that the government would not give up its position that sex education was up to the parents, adding that “when Brussels demands equlity in sex education it means that we should allow LGBTQ activists into schools and kindergartens”.
