The European Parliament’s Week For Life 2012: The Program
EU Fundamental Rights Agency: Director Morten Kjaerum involved in fraud scandal
The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), which was headed by Morten Kjaerum prior to his current posting as Director of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, is currently at the focus of a major corruption scandal. Allegedly, the Institute has used fraudulent accounting practices to conceal that it spent over three million Danish crowns on [...]
ILGA-Europe: European Commission’s evasive answers trigger new questions
The European Commission’s funding of ILGA-Europe, a Potemkin-style “non-governmental” organization promoting homosexuality, continues to be a subject of concerns for Members of the European Parliament. The strategy of Commissioner Reding to answer questions evasively and to wait for Parliamentarians to lose interest in the issue does not appear to work. As a reaction of Commissioner [...]
Evasive answers to critical questions: European Commission finds it difficult to explain its funding for homosexualist propaganda
It was of course never to be expected that the European Commission, as a reply to critical questions from the European Parliament with regard to the generous funding it is handing out to ILGA-Europe (a homosexual lobby group with links to pedohile networks), would openly acknowledge to have committed a misuse of budgetary funds. But [...]
An “old car… heading in the wrong direction”: The State of the European Union
Three distinguished Members of the European Parliament spoke at the Heritage Foundation about possible alternatives to the Brussels-style European integration. Geoffrey Van Orden (UK), Derk Jan Eppink (Belgium) and Jan Zahradil (Czech Republic), leading members among the European Conservatives and Reformists, questioned the responses of European leaders to the Euro-crisis, the effectiveness of the new [...]
European Parliament’s gay lobby squeamish over critical questions…
A Member of the European Parliament has tabled a number of Written Questions concerning the European Commission’s strange habit of financing nearly 70% of the budget of an allegedly “non-governmental” homosexualist pressure group called ILGA Europe. The gay lobby is not amused. On the website of the European Parliament’s “Intergroup on LGBT rights”, a network [...]
Member of European Parliament has questions about EU funding for homosexualist lobby
For years and years, the European Commission has been funding the activities of ILGA-Europe, a homosexualist lobby that, under the pretext of “fighting discrimination”, actually promotes a radical agenda and notoriously maintains close links to groups promoting pedophilia. Although this wasn’t exactly kept as a state secret, it somehow has escaped the attention of the [...]
European Parliament resolves to fight HIV/AIDS through … abortion!
Fortunately, hardly any citizen ever reads the pompous yet irremediably silly resolutions through which the European Parliament lets the world know about its opinion on all matters that fall outside its competence. And even more fortunately, fighting AIDS is not one of the responsibilities of the European Parliament. Last week, the Parliament commemorated World AIDS [...]
Motion in the European Parliament links abortion, contraception and HIV/AIDS
On Thursday 1 December, members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will vote on a motion which links abortion, contraception and HIV/AIDS. According to the SPUC, the motion is “yet another attempt by the international pro-abortion lobby to secure recognition of abortion as a universal, fundamental human right, under the guise of sexual and reproductive health”. [...]
European Humanist Federation finds the concept of human dignity “objectionable”…
… si tacuisses philosophus mansisses. An organisation that finds the concept of human dignity “objectionable” must be expected to have similar objections against ideas such as democracy and human rights. It is certainly strange then that the same organisation considers itself a suitable interlocutor for the European Commission or the European Parliament.
Launch of the San José Articles at the European Parliament: “Life, as well as the right to life, starts at conception”
On October 26th 2011, the “San Jose Articles” were launched at a press conference held during the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. You can access the video and audio (English and French) recording of the press conference here. (20 minutes) These articles were adopted in Costa Rica on 25th March 2011, to [...]
European Commission: promoting adoption as an alternative to abortion is “inappropriate”
These people really seem to care a lot for the lives of human beings, don’t they…? Parliamentary Question E-005029/2011 Answer given by Commissioner Reding The advertisement says: “(I understand if you aren’t ready for me) …but rather put me up for adoption, LET ME LIVE!”. Such a message is of course totally unacceptable for the [...]
Former Belgian Prime minister annoyed over Hungary’s new Constitution
As my friend and colleague Roger Kiska has noted in a prior contribution, the fact that Hungary has given itself a new Constitution that (a) invokes God in its preamble, (b) protects human life as from the time of conception, and (c) defines marriage as the “conjugal union of a man and a woman based [...]
Hungarian Constitution a Victory for Life and Family
Exciting news from the Central European nation of Hungary, where the new government under Prime Minister Viktor Orban has adopted a new constitution which is expected to be ratified by Hungary’s President on April 25 and come into force at the beginning of 2012. The new constitution is significant in several ways. First, it is [...]
Opposition to Proposed Moldovan Law Grows
On February 17, 2011 the Moldovan government adopted proposed anti-discrimination legislation which it purported to do on the basis of harmonizing its laws with existing EU Directives and Regulations. The premise behind the proposed legislation is to further Moldova’s aspirations of becoming an EU Member State and have its EU visa restrictions lifted. Upon closer [...]
Italian Crucifix Case Judgment Reached
The European Court announced today to participating parties in the Lautsi v. Italy case (also known as the Italian crucifix case) that the Grand Chamber had reached a judgment on February 16 and that the judgment will be announced in public by the Grand Chamber on March 18 in Strasbourg. The case made international headlines [...]
German Mother Sits In Jail For Protecting Her Young Children from Sexualization
The Alliance Defense Fund [ADF] filed an emergency order to the European Court of Human Rights today on behalf of Irene Wiens, a German mother and faithful Christian, who is serving a 43 day prison sentence for having her 9 and 10 year old children not attend a mandatory four day “sexual education” module which [...]
The European Parliament adopts a silly Resolution on a “homophobic crime” in Uganda
This is becoming a bad habit: once again, the European Parliament has adopted an incredibly silly resolution in order to promote the LGBT agenda. This time, the Parliament “strongly condemns the violent murder of the Ugandan human rights defender David Kato Kisule” (for better understanding: in the jargon used by the Parliament, a ‘human rights [...]
Fundamental Wrong Agency
I had the pleasure recently of attending the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Expert Workshop on the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred in Vienna. With very low expectations coming in I had anticipated the event to be a free-for-all lobby on behalf of hate speech activists’ promotion of the banning of Islamaphobia and [...]
European Parliament’s LGBT pressure group increasingly frustrated over lack of progress on “anti-discrimination”
LGBT-minded Members of the European Parliament express frustration over the fact that the controversial horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive, which would radically curtail freedom and self-determination (especially the feedom to decide with whom they want to conclude a contract) for European citizens, apparently is not among the top political priorities of the Hungarian EU presidency. Well, I [...]
