The decision to vote against both the government’s bill on same-sex couples, as well as the bill submitted by SYRIZA received by its central committee KKE.

The announcement in more detail:

​–We do not agree with her draft law ND governmentas with her proposal for a law submitted by SYRIZA for the civil marriage of same-sex couples. On principle we will vote against it.

​–The ND’s proposals not only do not solve the critical issues of the commercialization of procreation and procreation by same-sex couples, which de facto leads to the abolition of the child’s right to motherhood – paternity, but on the contrary they obscure and reproduce them to a superlative degree . With different reasoning and different escalation steps, they lead to the implementation of the Kasselakis proposal, since they pave the way for child trafficking (through adoption, etc.), for recourse to illegal surrogacy methods or to recourse to foreign countries where the procedure is permitted, with all that entails, opening Aeolus’ pouch, even reaching eugenics. Finally, in addition to the above, we must point out that the institutionalization of civil marriage for same-sex couples is a condition for future appeals to Greek courts and the European Court (ECHR), in order to implement the whole agenda in the name of eliminating discrimination.

Speaking, then, about marriage in its current development, the axis of the KKE policy is the institutionalized regulation of joint parental care based on the interests of the child and not the narrow individual wishes of the parents.

​–We continue to fight for the necessary state, social protection of children, for the development of a network of state, free social services with a focus on prevention, with the recruitment of permanent psychologists, social workers in school units, university faculties, workplaces, in sports and cultural structures. Particular importance must be given to childhood and adolescence, with the development of a special social service staffed with a team of scientists to monitor the psycho-intellectual and physical development of children, adolescents and young people.

​–We claim arrangements that will improve the relationship of the child with the partner of the natural or adoptive parent in everyday life.

​–We raise a shield of protection within the collective, organized struggle of the labor, popular movement, the student, student movement against any social isolation and racist attack of people based on gender, race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation and other personal traits, highlighting the class root of social inequalities.
