Russian deputies called on Monday to toughen the denounced law that condemns “homosexual propaganda”, a new sign of the hardening of the Kremlin’s conservative line in full offensive in Ukraine and enmity with Westerners.
According to amendments being discussed in the lower house of the Russian parliament, the Duma, the 2013 law banning “homosexual propaganda” among minors would be strengthened by banning the “denial of family values” and the “promotion of nonsexual orientations. “.
“The special operation (in Ukraine) takes place not only on the battlefield, but also in the minds and souls of people,” said Alexander Khinstein, head of the State Duma Information Committee.
“Protect” the Russian population
“Sodomy propaganda is truly at the center of our enemy’s influence,” said Konstantin Malofeïev, a billionaire and media mogul known for his ultra-conservative positions.
The amendments are due to be approved this fall, Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said, touting a law aimed at “protecting” the Russian population.
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the government to release 3.9 billion rubles (64 million euros) for patriotic education programs. According to the Kremlin, these programs include “digital and multimedia content aimed at the patriotic and spiritual development of children and youth.”
