14/11/2019 (Agence Europe) – The European Parliament adopted on Thursday 14 November a non-legislative resolution denouncing the criminalisation of youth sex education in Poland. This text calls on the Polish Diet to reject the draft legislative act currently under consideration, which provides that anyone who publicly promotes or approves the fact that minors have sexual relations is liable to a prison sentence. He points out that the bill is based on a justification whose “content [is] virulent, inappropriate and misleading”. The European Parliament resolution was adopted by 471 votes to 128 with 57 abstentions. The whole of the Identity and Democracy Group and most of the ECR MEPs, both of whom have tabled multiple deletion amendments, as well as some EPP MEPs, opposed it. (SPj)
