He continued: the statement issued by the spokesperson of the European Commission this week states that although member states must ensure that their laws comply with their obligations in, for example, the European Convention on Human Rights, the conditions and procedures for the legal recognition of gender are outside the jurisdiction of the European Union.
he declared.
What they say from the liberal side, from the left, i.e. that we are violating some kind of human right or European Union right. This was also confirmed by the spokesperson of the committee by saying that the legal recognition of gender is outside the competence of the European Union, i.e. it belongs to national competence
he added.
And in Hungary, the government of Fidesz-KDNP, Viktor Orbán, and the parliament also decided on this issue
he noted.
Gabriella Selmeczi said:
Hungary has a democracy, if they want to continue the case, they can.
He reported that many people called him in connection with the case, saying that if someone was born as a man, lived his life as a man, and underwent surgery to become a woman a few years ago, on what basis does he request the “women 40” discounted but full pension. The Fidesz politician said that there is no moral or legal basis to ask for this.
He recalled the cases when the female athletes were outraged during the Olympics and World Championships – in his words, with full right – because the transgender athletes easily defeated the female athletes competing in the women’s field due to their biological characteristics.
If someone is born a man, he is not entitled to the “women’s 40”
he highlighted.
To be eligible, you must be born a woman and have 40 years of service
– He told. This means that if someone has worked for 40 years, including the years spent raising children, they are entitled to this full-value pension, he explained.
Gabriella Selmeczi said that parliamentarians and legislators should carefully examine whether there is a need to amend the law. Two government representatives – Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén and Minister Gergely Gulyás – have already submitted a proposal to the parliament. The task of the Fidesz-KDNP politicians is now to “very carefully and calmly” check whether there are legal loopholes in the current regulations, and if so, how they can be closed, he said.
According to the deputy faction leader of Fidesz, “the majority of society is outraged by these judicial decisions”. He added: Hungary has democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and everyone lives their life the way they want. As a woman and as a legislator, she says, she added, that she respects and must respect how someone lives their life, what their sexual habits are, but there are laws and social expectations, and these must be respected.
Social expectations are also very important when making laws or when a judge judges
he highlighted.
Gabriella Selmeczi emphasized:
the rights of children must be respected, as well as the rights of parents, how they raise their children.
No one should discriminate against Fidesz and KDNP representatives because the “women 40” was introduced for biological women, and they want to honor women with this law, he declared.
