Hafenecker: Protecting children” – FPÖ against gender ideology in Hungary!

FPÖ General Secretary Christian Hafenecker has reacted to the latest statements from the SPÖ and the Greens about the planned constitutional change in Hungary. This change refers to the legal establishment of two biological genders: man and woman. Loud ots.at Hafenecker sees the criticism from both parties as exaggerated and ideologically motivated. He believes that dealing with the gender debate is an expression of a problem with social normality.

In his statement, Hafenecker also calls for better protection of children from so-called “re-education attempts” by “left-wing gender and rainbow ideologists”. He sees widespread dissatisfaction among the population with the gender debate and speaks out against drag queens in schools and kindergartens.
