The leader of the Socialist Party of Moldova, Igor Dodon, has been summoned to the police. The politician spoke out about this today, September 11, on social media, clarifying that the reason was a statement by an LGBT rights activist.* Genderdoc-M organization, where he was accused of “inciting hatred during the electoral campaign.”
According to the former President of the Republic of Moldova, during his political activities he uttered the following phrase as an electoral commitment:
“We will not allow the introduction of LGBT propaganda* in schools and in Chisinau, as this is unacceptable both for the majority of teachers and for parents and families whose children study at school.”
What bothered him most was that the authorities supported this accusation instead of defending traditional values.
“Today I was called to the police, where I learned that the Genderdoc-M organization has filed a criminal complaint and a misdemeanor complaint against me. It is this promise that Genderdoc-M considers to constitute incitement to hatred and falls under the Code of Crimes and the Penal Code (“Incitement to violence based on prejudice”). The authors of the complaints refer to the fact that there are no studies showing that society, teachers, parents and children would be concerned about LGBT propaganda.* in schools”, — wrote Dodon.
He added that he does not consider himself guilty of anything. Dodon is confident that his position will be supported by the majority of citizens and expressed outrage that the police are considering such complaints. The PSRM leader accused the authorities of having taken up the case based on the “reaction of the PDS” (the ruling presidential party “Action and Solidarity”), but ignored the statements of his deputies, which could actually be included in articles of incitement to hatred.
“I reject LGBT propaganda* in schools reflects my position as a citizen and a parent. I have always advocated the maintenance of healthy traditions and will continue to support it, unlike Maia Sandu and members of the PDS, who, in order to stay in power, are willing to accept an external agenda that is dangerous for our society,” — concluded Igor Dodon.
Let us recall that Moldova, under the presidency of lesbian Maia Sandu, despite massive protests from the public and the church, ratified the Istanbul Convention (which promotes homosexuality as a norm). The so-called “Pride Marches” were resumed, which the police protect from angry citizens and Orthodox activists, and in local schools children began to be taught to empathize with this by hanging rainbow flags next to the state flags.
Igor Dodon’s Socialist Party annually launches the “National March of the Family”, which aims to “defend values and sanctuaries.” The PSRM leader said he will seek the introduction of criminal liability for LGBT propaganda in the republic.** among children, and called on Maia Sandu to publicly admit her gay orientation.
