POLISH President Andrzej Duda said on Saturday that the gay rights movement was worse than communism.
Mr Duda of the ruling Law and Justice Party said that his parents’ generation did not struggle to cast off communism only to accept an “ideology” that is “even more destructive to the human being.”
He has signed a declaration calling for a ban on “propagating LGBT ideology in public institutions.”
“They are trying to convince us they are people, but this is an ideology,” the president announced.
Law and Justice deputy leader Joachim Brudzinski has come under fire for tweeting that “Poland without LGBT is most beautiful” alongside an image of Jesus and a bird’s nest including eggs, which he said indicated the bird family was “realising God’s plan.”
Opposition Civic Platform presidential candidate and Mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski said: “If you use the words ‘Poland without somone,’ it doesn’t matter who, that is dividing Poles.”
Both main parties in Poland are stridently anti-communist. The Polish People’s Republic, a socialist state, collapsed in 1989.
