Brussels’ recommendations for compliance include demands on the Law on Protection of Family Values and Children’s Rights, insisting on acceptance of a false ideology. Such a statement made today Speaker of the Georgian Parliament.

“Citizens need to understand Brussels’ demands. There are 2 issues, one of which concerns the draft Law on Protection of Family Values and Children’s Rights. The core problem is that it prohibits women from becoming men and men from becoming women. Essentially, Brussels is pushing a false ideology, insisting that a man can become a woman. This is essentially what is being demanded regarding this law: that a person cannot change their sex from male to female or vice versa.

This is a false ideology that should not be taught or promoted - there should be no brainwashing with such beliefs in kindergartens, schools, universities, or anywhere else. It’s comparable to Brussels demanding we accept and claim that the Earth is flat. We remember the time in Europe when they insisted the Earth was flat, and anyone who challenged that view was burned at the stake.

Today, Brussels’ behaviour mirrors that era - demanding we accept that the Earth is flat, or more precisely, insisting we say that a man can become a woman. If we refuse, we are threatened with the same fate - being condemned by the fire of false ideology. We must carefully assess this situation to understand what we are truly facing”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
