Similarly, Bulgaria&#8217;s anti-propaganda laws have faced widespread EU criticism.\u00a0\u201cIn 2024, politicians in many countries \u2014including Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czechia, Moldova, and Romania\u2014\u00a0weaponised discriminatory narratives against LGBTIQ people during election periods specifically,\u201d added Hugendubel. \u00a0One example shown in the report is Belgium, where, in the run-up to the national and regional elections in June, Vlaams Belang, a Belgian political party, &#8220;actively promoted anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric through hate speech and bias-motivated discourse.&#8221;\u00a0Commission withdrawal of equality initiativeThe report comes just a week after the European Commission announced the withdrawal of a directive aimed at ensuring equal treatment regardless of age, disability, sexual orientation, or religious belief.\u00a0Lawmakers and civil society groups have condemned the decision, warning that it weakens the EU\u2019s commitment to equality.\u00a0\u201cIt has been quite a hard hit that the Commission decides to withdraw the horizontal discrimination legislation,\u201d said Kim Van Sparrentak, Dutch MEP from the Greens.\u00a0\u201cWe have to make sure that the Commission realises that this is not what we want, [&#8230;] in the Parliament we\u00a0were ready to work on it and we are not going to let this happen without\u00a0a fight\u201d, she added. \u00a0Alessandro Zan also called for new and stronger legislative proposals following this withdrawal as \u201cgiving it up without replacement will waste years and years of political progress\u201d. \u00a0ADVERTISEMENT\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic A rise in attacks on LGBTIQ people across Europe reflects a troubling trend of growing acceptance of discrimination and more restrictive laws, according to a new report.
