The Romanian government has challenged the historic decision handed down in May by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) by which it obliges the Romanian state to adopt legislation for the recognition of same-sex couples. The Accept Association condemns the “shameful gesture of the Government” to challenge the decision of the ECHR regarding the legal recognition of LGBT families in Romania.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed, on Sunday, in a response to Gândul’s request, that the Romanian state appealed to the upper chamber the ECHR decision of May 23, which obliges Romania to recognize by law and protect the rights of same-sex couples who want to officially become a family. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the institution that exercises, on behalf of the Government, the prerogatives of a government agent before the ECHR.
The Accept association reacted on Monday, condemning “the shameful gesture of the Government to challenge the decision of the ECHR regarding the legal protection and recognition of LGBT families in Romania”.
“Found guilty of violating Article 8 of the European Convention, which concerns family life, the Romanian state continues to discriminate and make its own citizens vulnerable, officially contesting the ECHR Judgment pronounced in May of this year, in the case of Buhuceanu and Ciobotaru and others 20 families against Romania. Through this action, the Government postpones the adoption of legislation to recognize and protect same-sex families, keeping Romania on the list of countries in Europe’s shameful ranking in terms of combating discrimination. Tens of thousands of families continue to be condemned to invisibility and insecurity,” says Accept.
The representatives of Accept say that the Romanian Government’s action to contest this ECHR ruling is comparable to Russia’s attitude in the Fedotova case, a case that was resolved with a final decision in favor of the families who asked the state for protection and legal recognition. All other European countries historically found guilty of violating Article 8 immediately passed legislation to recognize same-sex couples. The Accept association asks the Romanian state “to urgently demonstrate that it works in the service of the citizens and in agreement with the needs and opinions expressed by them”, reminding Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of “the social democratic values that he claims to have assumed at the European level “.
The appeal filed by Romania does not automatically mean that the trial of the case is resumed. In the immediate period, the appeal will be analyzed by a complete filter, which decides first of all whether it is admissible, says Iustina Ionescu, the ACCEPT lawyer, who represents the 21 families who sued the Romanian state.
These people are determined to press their degeneracy and corruption on the world. I hope Romania stands fast and if necessary leaves the corrupt EU.
One World Government. The EU was always the WEF in fairly obvious wolves’ clothing. Gay rights… honestly, don’t care if you’re gay or not, just shut up about it already… transgender rights, destroy the nuclear family and any religion that isn’t climate change. You will obey! Stay strong, Romania. You’re an island in a EU/WEF sea of destruction.
Each country is free and independent. Joining the EU club and similar institutions comes with string attached. That’s the whole idea of the EU and globalism, to impose the “values” of the elite. They are the ones who can decide what is moral and what is acceptable.
When will the states of eastern Europe – particularly the Three Seas Initiative group – leave the EU and form their own new bloc? I believe the future of Western civilization may lie in eastern Europe.
The ECHR is not an EU institution, but a European institution, where all countries in the Council of Europe are members, regardless of whether or not they’re in the EU.
Congratulations Romania! Stand up for traditional family values and do not cave in to European tyrants – they are completely void of any morals. It is sickening that they are trying to impose their will on everyone.
Stay strong Romania. Do not fold to mental illness and perversion.
‘Moderation’ is Censorship !
Notice how an organization whose charter was simply to facilitate trade between countries in europe has taken it upon themselves to be the unelected de facto dictator of euroope.
