Poland’s deputy justice minister, Marcin Romanowski, has warned that his country will veto the proposal presented Wednesday by the European Commission to recognize the legal filiation of children of LGTBI couples obtained in another member state, a measure to ensure that all European children enjoy the same rights when they move within the common area, «regardless of how they were conceived or born,» according to Brussels.
«As long as the Minister of Justice is Zbigniew Ziobro,» Romanowski said in an interview with the Do Rzeczy portal, «we are sure that Poland will not have to adapt to these crazy demands of the LGBT lobby and recognize homosexual adoptions.»
The deputy minister assured that the Polish legal system is «protected» against the «harmful effects of gender ideology», regardless of «the scale of insidious tricks of the EU ‘establishment'», which has turned to «a toxic agenda».
Aware of the difficulties to move forward with the norm due to the reservations of countries such as Poland or Hungary with the recognition of the rights of the LGTBI collective or the controversies regarding the regulation of surrogacy in several countries of the block, the European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, wanted to make it clear that the proposal does not seek to change family law, which is a national competence, but to give legal certainty to minors whose filiation is already recognized in a Member State.
However, Romanowski interprets that the legal institutions relating to parentage, as well as the registers of the civil state, remain the exclusive competence of the Member States according to the existing case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
The deputy minister points out that the adoption of the proposed EU regulation requires unanimity, so «Poland is in no danger of forcing homosexual adoptions, because we will simply veto it».
Romanowski went even further by accusing Germany of trying to break this unanimity rule in a drive for a «neo-Marxist» policy and employing «illegal, even barbaric tricks», with the aim of imposing a «modern form of Germanization: a relentless quest to subordinate other nations» with «the annihilation of Europe’s cultural code based on Christian values».
