The European Union (EU) announced on Tuesday that it had refused grants to six cities in Poland that had declared themselves “zone without LGBT ideology”. These municipalities were candidates for a twinning program between European municipalities.
Participating municipalities could receive funding of up to 25,000 euros. The system was put in place to "guarantee peaceful relations" and "strengthen friendship and mutual understanding", according to the European institutions.

The European Commission believes that it has not received from the six Polish cities "sufficient assurances that their project would meet these objectives," said its spokesperson Adalbert Jahnz, quoted by CNN . The names of the six towns concerned have not been communicated.
Last March, a report by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, relayed by the International Human Rights Observatory, indicated that a third of Polish cities identified as "zones without ideology. LGBT ”. These municipalities represent a larger area than Hungary.
