Slovak MPs voted down a proposed amendment to the education law that sought to ban "promotion of non-traditional sexual orientations and gender identities" in schools. The amendment, introduced by SNS MPs, was rejected with only 11 votes in favour.
The SNS argued that the measure would ensure that education reflects "traditional values" and aligns with Slovak cultural and ethical standards. They also proposed fines of up to 30,000 euros for violations to protect “biological and societal norms” and the “integrity of family relationships.”
The amendment would have defined "non-traditional sexual orientation" as any orientation diverging from the traditional male-female relationship model.
