The laws on the marriage of homosexuals have been "parked" in the Chamber of Deputies for a year.MEPs blame quarrels yes<

On June 12, 2018 - exactly a year ago - a group of 46 deputies submitted a proposal to a change in the Civil Code, which would allow gays and lesbians to conclude the same marriage as heterosexual couples.A day later, the apparatus of the Chamber of Deputies sent the law directly to Members and on 26 June the government also agreed with the proposed changes.

Three days later, the law came in the Chamber of Deputies until first reading - although MEPs got to it since June last year in November, this March they accepted the opinion that they would interrupt the debate."The Chamber of Deputies interrupts the hearing of these points in a merged general debate and adjourn them to the next proper meeting of the Chamber of Deputies," says the voted opinion.

Marriage vs.marriage

One of the reasons is the anti-nites of the KDU-ČSL.The KDU -CSL, on the other hand, demands a change in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.So that it is clear that marriage is only a bundle between a man and a woman.The current party chairman Marek Výborný came with the proposal for the change.In particular, Article 32, in which it says that "parenting and family are under the protection of the law".However, excellent requires that the article in the document, which is part of the Constitution of the Czech Republic, expands and specify."We want (article) to adjust to the sentence:" Family, parenting and marriage as a bunch of men and women are under the protection of the law, "he explained last June.

MEPs therefore linked the debate on laws and discuss them as one point.MEPs thus divided into at least two camps in the Chamber of Deputies.Those who want homosexual couples to marry and not only registered partnerships at selected authorities, and those who want to consolidate the role of marriage between a man and a woman.

In the last resolution of the deputies on interruption, the deadline is that the law is to deal with the House at the following proper meeting.It has been running since May 28 and continues the next week since Tuesday.Both laws are on the program such as points 56 and 57. But if it gets to them, it is not clear at all.Therefore, all the parliamentary clubs addressed the lightning news.However, some of them did not respond to questions at all.

Support from Babiš in YES is not enough

Everything is reportedly stuck especially in the YES movement - at least in their answers, representatives of other groups claim.It is really evident from the corridor discussions that there is no clear consensus in the government movement, which has 78 deputies.Even after Prime Minister Andrej Babiš supported all of them on TV Prima at the beginning of April.

"I think the same -sex couples should have the same rights as marriage," the Prime Minister said in the Game program.He himself also said that the law in the House to second read, despite the contradictions in YES.added the Prime Minister.

However, if the YES movement actually attempts to include the discussion of the Marriage Act for all, the editor of the Blesk message failed to find out.Neither Babiš nor the chairman of the parliamentary club Jaroslav Faltýnek did not respond to the SMS sent.

ODS bosses and SPD did not respond

Asked, "whether it is disgraceful, that there are laws parked in the House and when MEPs will come to their further discussion," ODS chairman Zbyněk Stanjura did not respond.And without the reaction, the same question also remained from the SPD club and their parliamentary boss Radim Fiala.

At least from the government coalition, the head of the CSSD group Jan Chvojka responded, according to which the petitioners are responsible for the fate of the proposal.“And in 12 months, they have managed to enforce a double discussion since its enforcement.There are a number of less controversial parliamentary initiatives in which the initial reading has not even started, ”Chvojka commented.The law is also signed from the CSSD, for example, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Party head Jan Hamáček or the CSSD deputy Petr Dolínek.

“Indeed, some laws have been rolling there for an incredibly long time, unfortunately every discussion will turn out by endless manifestations of especially church fighters against homosexuals.I do not know where the problem is, in Western Europe it already have it, the families did not collapse there, ”said Jakub Michálek, chairman of the Pirates parliamentary club, responded to the question.

Shame and alibi.But the parties are not uniform

For example, the next meeting could appear on the program, if the deputies did not get to it next week, Michálek sees, in view of the opinion of the YES club, badly.“Mr. Faltýnek didn't support it, so it wouldn't work out.I do not know, ”added Michálek, who is also involved under the amendment to the Civil Code.

Disagreements over the marriage for all are also in the club Stan.Some of the deputies are more conservative and would not change anything to the marriage between a man and a woman, but part of the marriage also added part of the marriage.Among them, for example, the new chief of STAN Vít Austria.

"It is a shame.Parliament is not to be afraid to decide.It should not hide, look for an alibi, not to answer fundamental social issues.That society is divided?Well, that's why Parliament is to be a place where a free and even a stormy discussion will be done, ”says the Austrian, the father of two children.And he also refers to the non -music of the YES movement.

“Unfortunately, the inconsistent YES is looking for all possible ways to slow down the discussion.I hope that the organizational committee will have the will and courage to include a point as soon as possible, ”added Austrian.While he supports a law -friendly law, for example, his predecessor Petr Gazdík is to regulate the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms that strengthens the marriage of man and woman.

The KDU -CSL stands at the opposite pole.For them, it is a priority to retain and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, the institution of marriage is strengthened only as a bundle between one man and one woman.Nevertheless, the head of the KDU-ČSL deputies refuses to discuss these changes to lead one discussion.“It is primarily a shame of the government coalition YES and the CSSD.The KDU -CSL has their proposal, which supports marriage as a volume, and women can not solve the existing government, ”criticizes the coalition led by Andrej Babiš Bartošek.

According to KSČM deputy Jiří Dolejš, the law could have long been in the next reading in the House, because the general discussion no longer brings too much after two debates.“In general, the shame is that exhibitions and obstruction over work are dominated in the Chamber of Deputies.This law has support across the spectrum and the support of the government.The first reading could have been managed long ago, because the general discussion no longer brings new arguments, ”Dolejs says, believes that marriage will soon be dealt with again."The Rules of Procedure do not impose the order of discussion of laws, so there is no choice but to finally… it would not take much time," added Dolejš, whose signature is under the amendment to the Civil Code, which would introduce a marriage for all.

Pekar is also waiting for more than a year

When the Law in the Chamber of Deputies gets, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, who is a verifier of the parliamentary resolution postponed by deputies postponed the joint discussion over both laws.Pekar Blesk told reports that there are much more "parked" laws in the lower house of parliament.

“However, this is not the only law that is waiting for a longer time to discuss.Unlike many other proposals, however, this discussion has already begun, many other proposals, such as my proposal to reduce contributions for part -time payments, did not get to discuss at all, and it has been in the Chamber of Deputies for a year.It is not exceptional, ”Pekarová added.

Happening at the House

It is precisely because of the delays in discussing the law, which would allow volumes of all couples regardless of the sex of one of the partners, will meet near the Chamber of Deputies on Malostranské Square in Prague who disagree with the slowness of politicians.Happening for all is organized by the Association We are a fair association, which was supported by a number of well -known personalities, including the singer Dary Rolins.

The marriage and the homosexuals supported 46 deputies from the YES, Pirate Party, KSCM, CSSD, TOP 09 and STAN.The amendment assumes that LGBT couples would have the same rights and duties in marriage as a woman and a man in marriage.A registered partnership, which homosexuals can now enter, would disappear as an institute.

On the other hand, 37 deputies from KDU-ČSL, YES, ODS, CSSD, TOP 09 and STAN are signed under the proposal for the protection of traditional marriage.
