During the vote, this decision was supported by the majority of the party members.
Delphi recalls that Labor President Viktor Uspaskich was expelled from the Liberal Renew Europe Group of the European Parliament on January 20 following his homophobic thoughts on the LGBT community.
The outraged video, which lacked homophobic comments, was posted on Facebook by Uspaskich.
“Today, in some European countries, it is even dangerous to say that you are a representative of natural orientation. I do not want my conversations, the program, to be commented on by pediatricians of all kinds, because it is not a program for them anyway. I mean pedicures, perverts, those for whom fate, life thus gave them, it is not their fault, that there is some kind of longing felt by a man dressed as a woman. Most of these people do not advertise , but those who put their pimples under their skirts and go out into the streets, they scream, they are pedicures, perverts and those things should definitely not be tolerated ”, said V. Uspaskich during the broadcast.

The leader of the Labor Party later sent a letter of apology to his colleagues in the EP. He acknowledged that the words used were too rude, but assured that he did not seek to offend the LGBT community, and accused political opponents and the media of providing biased information.
However, colleagues in the Renew Europe group were not convinced. 72 MEPs voted in favor of the removal of Uspaskich, six against and six abstentions.
