Chegi President Andre Ventura said this Saturday that gender identity is not part of human rights and said that children are exposed to “sexual content” in public schools.
Speaking to journalists before visiting a book fair in Lisbon as part of the campaign for the European elections, Andre Ventura insisted on the proposal, which he had already defended at the last Chega congress in January, to end all support for associated associations. with gender identity.
According to Ventura, the intention is to “review the more than 400 million euros that have been allocated and spent on gender identity and ideology to ensure that no association, school or other organization that sponsors gender ideology receives money “.
The previous government allocated 426 million euros in the state budget to promote gender equality, but “only 9.2%” of this amount meets this goal.
Pointing out that Chega asked “the government to discriminate in means,” Ventura said he did not do so “because he is interested in combining domestic violence with gender ideology.”
On Saturday, Chega published a post on her social networks in which she said she was in favor of ending support for “gender ideology” associations throughout Europe and that with the party’s entry into the European Parliament, “there will not be a penny of public money for any association.” it promotes gender ideology.”
However, the party’s election program for the June 9 elections does not mention this issue.
“We need to put an end to this, where children go to school and are told that being a man or a woman is the same thing and they can choose. This is not true, the Portuguese don’t want this,” he said, leaving the challenge: “Then let’s hold a referendum, let’s ask the Portuguese.”
When asked whether human rights are subject to a referendum, Andre Ventura replied that “here these are not human rights, these are transformational rights, which are not human, these are rights of choice.”
The president of Chegi called this issue “nonsense” and stated that “there is gender ideology in schools, there is promiscuity in schools, there is perversion in schools.”
Andre Ventura also said that “children are exposed to sexualized content and, in addition, they are exposed to content that tells them that if they are women, they can be men, if they are men, then they can be women.”
Ventura said this occurs in “citizenship and development content” and when asked for specific examples, he referred to social media and mentioned “LGBT propaganda” and “a man walking around with his buttocks exposed at a public school in Park -das Nações.” “.
When asked what exactly “gender ideology” means, the head of the Chegi list responded that “this ideology is aimed mainly at the destruction of society and the family, seeking in some way to use concepts that are not the concepts” that his party defends. and that they will harm the healthy development of society.”
“This is not scientific proof, it is what it is. If they come to school and tell three-year-olds or two-year-olds getting sex education that they don’t know whether they’re a boy or a girl, we think that’s completely unnatural,” he said.
In the same spirit as the leader, António Tangier Correa argued that this occurs “in programs in many public schools” that include “sex education, non-gender identification, non-identification of names based on a person’s gender, etc. on” .
Candidate and Vice President Chegi also stated that “gender identity is the right of every citizen, whether male or female.”
