According to the parliamentarian, the discussion in the party and the group on the legalization of the association is just beginning.
“You can feel the mood of most party members. But democracy is beautiful because everyone is equal and can contribute to the debate process. And in the party, I see a tendency for young people to want more discussion about all the issues of the so-called culture wars.
Perhaps most simply delegate that issue more to Agne Širinskienė. I certainly respect her a lot, but I don’t always agree with the doctrine she is developing. I think it’s my right.
In general, I am reluctant to believe in the conspiracy theories that mobilize many people in Lithuania, but when we get to the details of each of those issues, it turns out that the devil is not as terrible as trying to draw it. ” Tomilinas said.
He himself pointed out that Lithuania already has a Civil Code (CC), which states that the association must be enshrined in a separate law.
“There is a separate part of the CC” living together and outside of marriage “, very clearly separated from marriage, I don’t know how many terms have passed when this provision is in force, I really don’t understand why we dramatize this situation so much. We just have to discuss it. that can be written in that company law ”, said Tomilinas.
He said he did not understand why people are offended that the bill that is being drafted states that partnership is a relationship of respect, love and loyalty between two people.
“It just came to our attention then. That is the reality. If we cannot write like this for fear that it will be like a marriage, then I do not understand, are we not talking about people? We are talking about people who have the right to mutual respect, loyalty, monogamous relationships. What is characteristic of people, “said Tomilinas.
In his opinion, in general, the Constitution protects man above all else.
“Family, traditions, everything is after that. Man is above all, and this is the basis of our western constitutional doctrine. (…) I like the idea of the priest Sasnauskas that aggressive rhetoric for the family often it masks the lack of something to say on complex political issues. It is much easier to fight homosexuals than to create a network of social services and psychologists in municipalities, where most families suffer domestic violence, “said T. Tomilinas.
He said he was not afraid of having a different opinion on the party than most of its members.
“Our party is democratic and my goal is to promote that democratic culture in the party. My views are not liberal. I really know the ideology of my party very well. In this case, when we talk about association, I mean Western doctrine of human rights, and I don’t think anyone in Lithuania dares to question it and say that we don’t value a person as an absolute value, no matter what orientation.
I do not agree that this is liberalism, this is humanism. “While liberals are discussing progressive taxation, redistribution and disqualification of drugs with me, I am not on the liberal side,” Tomilin said.
Miliūtė: I am a bit more liberal than most of my colleagues.
Another member of the peasant green flank, Rūta Miliūtė, did not express categorical opinions against the association.
“We have not yet had a detailed discussion in the group on this issue. In fact, I have not yet seen a concrete offer from the Freedom Party. So immediately anticipate and say support, I cannot. But the fact is that I think I am. a bit more liberal than most of my colleagues. But I can’t answer exactly yet, because there hasn’t been a clear discussion yet, “said R. Miliūtė.
Širinskienė: then the question of the adoption of children will begin
LVŽS member Agnė Širinskienė stated that the majority of the party faction in the Seimas regarding the legalization of association proposals is negative. He recalled that the peasants of the Greens responded in their 2016 electoral program that they would not support the establishment of an association as a family relationship, but would support the regulation of economic activities.
“Our initiative is registered. The project (…) has already been completed. We have our own idea of how this should be adjusted. We are not really saying that property problems should not be solved, they should be solved, but we really do not support granting a relationship familiar, ”said A. Širinskienė.
The MEP referred to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to explain why they considered it a problem.
“The ECtHR has stated that where same-sex couples are available, Member States must also legalize same-sex couples. (…) The ECtHR considers that marriage in the Member States may be reserved for the sexes, but if states decide to regulate the union as a family relationship, then that reservation essentially no longer exists.
The problem is that if we give to some, we will inevitably have to give to others through litigation. That is why it was discussed with us and, as I mentioned, in 2016 we prepared a program that is then necessary to regulate the economic relationship and not get involved in litigation at the ECHR ”, taught A. Širinskienė.
The MP has no doubt that the adoption of the association would later raise doubts about the adoption of children.
“The issue of adopting children will begin. From what Raskevičius is doing now with his project, he is basically creating two types of families that will have the same responsibilities, the rights and responsibilities are basically the spouses, only the issue of adoption It is different. There is even no doubt that legal disputes will arise, and the response of the ECHR will be very clear that the adoption must be assured. Even more so when the LGBT community says that, in principle, they will not stop with this project, “he said. A. Širinskienė.
