PM Orbán: sexual education of children home duty, EC president’s statement is a shame
The sexual education of children is a duty of parents, while fighting against paedophilia is that of the state, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told German news agency dpa on Wednesday.
“It is the duty of the state to provide special protection for the physical integrity and mental health of children,” Orbán said. Hungary stands with this position “in the centre of European set of values and an open and tolerant European Union,” the prime minister said.
In connection with the Union of European Football Associations’ (UEFA) decision to ban the lighting of the stadium in Munich in rainbow colours during the Hungary-Germany Euro 2020 qualifier on Wednesday evening, Orbán said
“whether the Munich football stadium or another European stadium is lit in rainbow colours is not a state decision”.
“The rainbow colours are naturally a part of the street image,” in Budapest as well, he said.
Orbán said that “in communist Hungary, homosexual people were persecuted”. “Today the state not only guarantees the rights of homosexuals but actively protects them,” he said, adding that “the freedom of the individual is the greatest value.”
Everybody must be free to decide for themselves which path to choose in life, Orbán said. “This postulate is the legacy of our freedom fight against dictatorship,” he said. “We must never again restrict the freedom which we ourselves fought for in 1989,” Orbán said.
“In an ideal, free world women are equal to men without any restriction,
there is no racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia, paedophilia is persecuted and punished with the fullest rigour of the law, full protection of minorities is guaranteed by the state and minority protection laws are among the strictest in Europe,” the Hungarian prime minister said.
Orbán said in countries where “this ideal has not yet been realised, men must actively fight for equal rights for women, a Christian must stand up for fighting against anti-Semitism and must protect their Jewish fellow citizens, and a heterosexual man must protect homosexuals from exclusion, from attacks and against discrimination”.
A statement by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen concerning recent Hungarian legislation is a shame because it is based on false allegations, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The recently adopted Hungarian bill protects the rights of children, guarantees the rights of parents and does not apply to the sexual orientation rights of those over 18 years of age, so it does not contain any discriminatory elements,”
Orbán said.
Orbán said the statement of Von der Leyen was a shame “because the Hungarian bill is based on Article 14 (3) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union” and “because it publishes a biased political opinion without a previously conducted, impartial inquiry.”

The sexualiteit education is the duty of the parents. Oké, I agreed. Than it is not necessary than the State make a low about sexual education. The law protect children. Against what? Pedophelia is forbidden. Of Course! But the State must children ‘protect’ against information about homosexuality, in films, in Brooks end so on? It is a kind of hidden homofoby!
There is a large silent majority that approve of the law to protect children. It is apparent on remarks on the net.
President Orban is right, it is the duty parents to rear their children and that includes sexual education.
The reporters that read the law wrote “this law could be or may be used to discriminate”.
It is evident that this law was enacted for the protection of children and not for persecution of LGBT. Mr. Orban’s care of children should be commanded.
Just curious, where can I read the text of the law (on-line)? I’d like to see the law in plain wording.
Bravo Victor Orban and Fidesz for this common sense action to protect the innocense of our youth. Children deserve to grow up without being morally defiled by those who want to turn our future into The Drag Queen Story Book Hour like is happen in America.
The usual anti-EU rethoric. Until the next begging mission….
Mario, you may want to cede to Brussels’ dictatorship but Hungarians, Poles, Slovaks, Croats, Serbs, Slovenians, Austrians. etc. do not. You must feel that your country is unable to look after the welfare of its people. If you happen to be Italian, French or German than I can understand your point of view.
Maria Von Theresa, the serial leftist Mario is an American. Everyone should just ignore him. He doesn’t even live in Europe.
Hungary “has no place” in the European Union after passing a controversial new bill banning LGBTQ content in schools, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Thursday. I agree with the Dutch PM!
