AGGIORNAMENTO 28-6-21: QUI il testo italiano della legge ungherese.
Riporto testualmente la norma "oscurantista" appena varata da Orban in Ungheria, che rende meritevole di sanzioni da parte della UE: «Al fine di garantire la protezione dei diritti dei bambini, la pornografia e i contenuti che raffigurano la sessualità fine a sé stessa o che promuovono la deviazione dall’identità di genere, il cambiamento di genere e l’omosessualità non devono essere messi a disposizione delle persone di età inferiore ai diciotto anni».
Ricordiamo agli amici lettori che le accuse di questi giorni a Orban e all'Ungheria come "retrivi cattolici" sono rivolte ad un Presidente ...calvinista!
QUI la Bussola sull'argomento.
Sotto, le dichiarazioni dell'ambasciatore ungherese in Italia e il testo completo, in inglese, della legge "incriminata".

I VERI CONTENUTI DELLA NUOVA LEGGE UNGHERESE SULLA PEDOFILIA E LA PROTEZIONE DEI MINORENNI
Di Adam Kovacs*
Alla luce delle notizie che circolano nella stampa italiana – purtroppo echeggiate anche da personaggi politici – in merito alla nuova legge ungherese sulla pedofilia e la protezione dei minorenni, la legge non discrimina nessuno, e riguarda solo i minori, i quali il testo approvato intende tutelare contro ingerenze esterne, particolarmente in materia di educazione sessuale, in linea con l’Art. 14 comma 3 della Carta dei Diritti Fondamentali dell’Unione europea: “La libertà di creare istituti di insegnamento nel rispetto dei principi democratici, così come il diritto dei genitori di provvedere all’educazione e all’istruzione dei loro figli secondo le loro convinzioni religiose, filosofiche e pedagogiche, sono rispettati secondo le leggi nazionali che ne disciplinano l’esercizio”.
