Top Court gives final green light for child protection referendum
Change language:
In a ruling posted on its website on Thursday, Hungary’s Constitutional Court rejected all claims against a planned referendum on Hungary’s child protection law, ruling that parliamentary approval of the referendum was in line with the constitution, according to Alapjogokért Központ, a think-tank.
The ruling cleared all legal hurdles from holding the referendum, the think-tank said on Facebook. The popular vote concerns the rights of parents over their children’s education. President Áder now has 15 days to set a date for the referendum, which must then be held within 70-90 days.
“Hungarian citizens can make decisions on issues that have a direct impact on their or their children’s lives such as the sex education of children, the promotion of gender reassignment surgery, and media content showing such interventions,” Alapjogokért said.
In another DNH article it stated some families can’t even discuss menstruation as it’s a taboo subject and some find it embarrassing to talk about. How are these families going to educate their children about sex, let alone anything related to LGBTQ. Can’t always rely on the internet, that can be even more shocking to some!
