Former Georgian Interior Ministry official Lasha Shergelashvili, who served as the head of the Armaments Department of the Special Operations Directorate, said on Formula TV that a banned substance was used to suppress a protest outside the Central Election Commission in 2020. When asked if he had any suspicions, he replied that he "knew for sure that it was used" as he was there at the time.
Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin recalled that anti-LGBT laws have been in effect in Russia for three years, prohibiting any propaganda of LGBT rights, pedophilia, and gender reassignment. He also noted that, according to the amendment to the country's Constitution, "marriage is the union of a man and a woman," emphasizing that this is the choice of Russian citizens.
Volodin contrasted this situation with the fact that in a number of EU countries, "the aggressive imposition of pseudo-values on people continues" from a very early age.
"In England, they are preparing an experiment in which 226 children aged 10 and older who identify as transgender will be given puberty blockers. Essentially, they will be hooked on expensive therapy for life. The European Court of Justice has ordered all EU member states to recognize same-sex marriages." Those who want to protect their citizens from this are facing stiff obstacles. Slovakia and Hungary adopted constitutional amendments that restrict the gender balance to male and female. The result: the European Union is trying to deprive them of a voice in the Council of the EU," the politician shared his observations.
He also drew attention to the situation in Georgia, which, after the adoption of the anti-LGBT law ("On the Protection of Family Values"), "is not even allowed within the EU's borders."
"Countries that promote and impose non-traditional sexual relations, same-sex marriage, pedophilia, and gender reassignment have no future. What do you think?" Volodin urged reflection.
As a reminder, on September 17, 2024, the Georgian parliament passed the anti-LGBT law in its third reading, with 84 members supporting it (only one member opposed). The package included the main law "On the Protection of Family Values and Minors" and 18 related amendments to the country's legislation. Most opposition representatives were absent from the plenary session, as they had declared a boycott of the legislative body.
