Poland’s President Andrzey Duda has said LGBT+ ‘ideology’ is even worse than communist doctrine as he prepares for elections on 28 June.
His comments further weaponize LGBT+ issues in the country and follow the pattern of his ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) attacking LGBT+ people as an election ploy.
Meanwhile an LGBT+ ally has emerged as Duda’s main opponent in the presidential election race. However, LGBT+ campaigners are fighting back, holding a protest at one of Duda’s rallies.
