Key Issues

- The first reading of the civic bill "Yes to family, no to gender" is underway in the Sejm.

- This bill concerns consent to the denunciation of the Istanbul Convention and the creation of a Team for the development of the principles of the International Convention on the Rights of the Family

The Hungarian parliament adopted a declaration calling on the government to refrain from ratifying the Istanbul Convention. The MPs opposed the introduction of gender ideology into law, claiming that it diverges from the beliefs held by most Hungarians.

Today the Polish Parliament will deal with the civic bill ‘Stop Pedophilia’. The project was supported by over 260,000 people. The Ordo Iuris Institute prepared an analysis of the bill, which covers the adequacy of the proposed solutions for achieving the fundamental objective – protecting children against demoralizing sex education". 

The first reading of the “Stop abortion” bill (pl. Zatrzymaj aborcję) will be held again today in Sejm, the lower house of the polish parliament. The bill – which proposes repealing the laws which legitimate eugenic abortion – has been signed by over 830,000 Poles.
