The speech of condemnation of the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to the zones "free of LGTBI" in Poland,

warning that they "have no place in the European Union"

has found in the country a response from two sides.

In the judicial sphere, the Polish National Prosecutor's Office has appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court a sentence of a local court against an initiative opposed to LGTBI rights while from the political point of view, the Deputy Minister of Justice Michal Wójcik denounced that the defense of these in the The European Union and the announcement of an upcoming strategy to strengthen the rights of that community "violates the country's Constitution," according to the Catholic daily "Nasz Dziennik" (ND).

One hundred "zones free of LGTBI ideology"

The so-called "LGTBI ideology-free zones", mainly in rural areas and the initiative of local authorities that approve statements in defense of the traditional family and against what they consider to be a pernicious ideology, began to be created in 2019 and now exceed the hundred.

The ruling of the Gliwice court considered that the "LGTBI free zone" of Istebna

violated several articles of the Constitution

, such as the one that proclaims the equality of all citizens before the law and was celebrated by activists in favor of the rights of this group .

Now it is the National Prosecutor's Office that considers that that sentence restricts freedom of expression on issues of social importance and marks it as "an

unacceptable interference

in the right of the local government community to express opinions on values ​​such as private, marital and family and the right of parents to raise children according to their beliefs. "

On the issue of the rights of the LGTBI collective, Deputy Minister Wójcik told ND: "I would

recommend that President Ursula von der Leyen read the Polish Constitution

, where it is clearly written what marriage is about."

"Being yourself is not your ideology: it is your identity, and nobody can take it away from you. Areas without LGTBI are areas without humanity and have no place in our Union," Von der Leyen told the plenary session of the European Parliament, clearly reference to Poland, during his first State of the Union address.
