Just when the EU thought it had made...
From the BBC:
They object to the Istanbul Convention on the basis that it would legitimise same-sex marriage and improve rights for transgender people.
Women's rights groups staged a counter-protest along the route of the march.
They pointed out that polls suggest two-thirds of Croatians support the convention.
(Women led in the conservative protest, as well.)
That is despite the rise of the far right - including revisionist views of Nazi rule - since Croatia joined the EU in 2013.
Parliament has not yet ratified the convention but it has been approved by the centre-right government - prompting dissent from within its own ranks, conservative groups and the Catholic Church.
Speakers at the rally called on Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic to resign over his support for the convention.
Many express support for combating domestic violence and violence against women but say the treaty's definition of gender is too fluid - opening the way for greater recognition of transsexual or transgender people.
"We are against gender ideology," Zeljka Markic, a conservative leader, told the Associated Press. "The definition of gender separated from sex was not agreed on the level of the European Union or on the level of the Council of Europe." READ MORE HERE
REMNANT COMMENT: "Including revisionist views of Nazi rule"—okay, can we get a footnote on that, BBC? Or are we all supposed to just take your word for it? Some moron showed up with a buzz cut and swastika t-shirt? Is that it? Or maybe some of George Soros' employees were seen goose-stepping to the latrines? When will the fascist mainstream media stop with this hackneyed staple of fake news? How much more political venom can they wring out of their trusty old Nazi flag? Are people ever going to get wise to this?
Whenever Europeans start waking up to the takeover of Europe by ruthless fascists New World Order types, the mainstream press trots out the scary Nazi charges. They've evidently got nothing else. Just brand all dissenters as Nazis. It squelches healthy debate, polarizes the folks, and ensures victory for the Far-Left, even though the charges are never substantiated.
Let's hope and pray that the Croatians stick to their principles and ignore the media's little terrors for millennials.
