“I fully respect the right of women to self-determination of their body.” After all, in similar resolutions that have spoken of abortion in the past, I am in favor because I respect and recognize this right, when in reality the woman has not given his go-ahead to do so ”..
This was the position of the MEP of New Democracy and the European People’s Party Stelios Kybouropoulos, in his statements shortly after clear distances taken by the ruling party, as in the European Parliament it voted against the right of the woman to the abortion.
Her attitude provoked reactions in him. SYRIZA, who accuse him of writing with the extreme right on the issue of abortion. Some media close to SYRIZA, as well as “Avgi”, accused the MEP saying that “with the most extreme voices in the European Parliament, those of the extreme right”. However, the reactions of users of social networks are also excellent.
“Stelios Kybouropoulos’s vote against women’s right to abortion is a disgrace to the country. “The reform advances, the next stop is the witch hunt”, commented the SYRIZA spokesperson Nassos Iliopoulos.
Sources from Mr Kympouropoulos state that the MEP have voted 15 times for women’s rights abortion, last Friday adopted a resolution on child protection, which at one point states that your protection begins at the point of arrest. The same sources point out that this concerns the mother with the child and add that the noise surrounding the resolution, which has no legislative value, is due solely to oppositional reasons.
Referring to the resolution in question, he said: “At this moment we are talking about a speculation that came from SYRIZA. Was a general resolution on the rights of the child, that’s what we vote for. When the child is in the mother’s womb, when it is small, it does not have the power to speak, should we not talk about that too? I can’t know about my match announcement. I fully understand everything the world has done. But what needs to be made clear is that I did not vote and would not vote for something that deprives women of the right to self-determination. “
«Many fellow MEPs voted in favor of this amendment. I think a bit about the subject from this position that definitely affects meIf my mother had seen that I was disabled, would she have killed me or not? I think there is a right to abortion and I am not against it. But I also want to give the child who cannot speak the right. And I want to discuss it. I want this right to also exist, as a right “he added.
Response from Mr. Kimbouropoulos: I am in favor of abortions and women’s right to self-determination of their bodies!
“In my mandate so far, in all resolutions, I have voted in favor of the right of women to self-determination of their bodies and their right to abortion. I have also voted in favor of defending the rights of all people and, of course, children. I could never have imagined that my vote for children would be interpreted as a vote against the voting rights of women, for reasons for political speculation the my vote would be misinterpreted because of my own fault and it would be considered that I want something different. The fact that my position has been misinterpreted saddens me.
I have just declared publicly and I will do so as many times as necessary and in the way that my political capacity allows it, that human rights and their defense will always be a firm pillar of my personality. The right to abortion is absolute and in this sense I was, I am and I will be vertical! “
