In the coming days, the Slovak Parliament will vote by voting whether it appreciates the personal rights and freedoms of all its citizens and what direction these rights and freedoms will continue. It is a vote of the amendment to the Constitutional Act on the so -called. Cultural-ethical issues that are not actually cultural or ethical.

Nine April deputies National Council They moved to the second reading a draft amendment to the Constitutional Act, which is to clearly emphasize that only two genders are recognized: man and woman. Nothing in between. In this spirit, in the amendment to the Constitution, it is also proposed to modify the basic circle of persons who can adopt a minor child and, among other things, to automatically prevent homosexual or transexual couples, for example, to adopt and raise children. The rules of the school educational system should be regulated in a similar spirit.

The draft amendment to the Constitution, together with this, intends to explicitly declare Slovakia sovereignty in value and cultural-ethical issues. The second reading is also opposition KDH ready to join the members of the government coalition and vote for such changes of the Constitution, because by the mouth of its chairman Milan Majerský« Not here the question of whether we will vote with the government or with the Direction. We are going to vote for a good cause. »

So what should be the « good thing »?

What is good for the state may not be good for citizens

Also, the active supporters of these changes to the Constitution must be clear from the outset that they mean a fundamental restriction of the human rights of a significant group of Slovak citizens. I do not intend to appeal to their conscience and to remind them of the biblical love of their neighbor as yourself, even those who otherwise vehemently claim to have our long Christian tradition. It makes no sense, because there is always any apology why it is not possible in the case.

However, it makes sense to at least draw attention to a special paradox that the same deputies are determined to vote for the amendment to the Constitution, who also want to incorporate the right to independence and independence of Slovakia in the so -called EU in the proposed amendment. cultural and ethical issues. Thus, the same or similar right they want to deny in their own citizens and dictate to them, what to think about themselves, how to perceive themselves, what they can allow in private and the like.
