Even in times of crisis, EU taxpayers go on financing the homosexualist lobby and their propaganda events.
The scandal around the European Commission?s funding for ILGA-Europe, the controversial homosexualist lobby group with links to paedophile networks, continues.As readers of this blog recall, it has emerged that the European Commission finances nearly 70% of the pressure group?s budget: the group would simply not exist if EU taxpayers were not paying its offices, its telephone bills and the salaries of its 12 full-time staff. In actual fact, ILGA is not a non-governnmental organization, nor has it anything to do with ?civil society?, but it is a Potemkin village to hide the EU executive?s own activities.
The main purpose is to mislead the public and to create the false appearance that there is support in civil society for the re-definition of ?marriage? and ?family? to include sodomists.
But the EU has no competence to legislate, or to promote any particular political agenda, regarding these issues.
This is why Konrad Szymanski, Member of the European Parliament, has addressed a written question to the Commission, asking whether the Commission is aware that it splurges money from the EU budget into issues that are clearly outside the EU?s competence.
The reply given by Commissioner Reding, who as Justice Commissioner is responsible for the issue within the Commission, reveals an incredible carelessness and lack of responsibility:
The Commission recalls that the principles of equality and non-discrimination are core EU values and are guaranteed by Article 21 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and Article 19 of the TFEU.
The Commission is committed to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation to the extent of the powers conferred on the EU by the Treaties. In this regard, the Commission recognises and fully respects the competences of the Member States concerning the family law including the right to marry and found a family.
Moreover, the Financial Regulation (Article108 (1) b) provides that the European Commission may award grants which cover the general operating costs of non-profit organisations pursuing an objective of European interest and not specific individual projects or campaigns. ILGA Europe?s goals are in line with the principles enshrined in Article 19 of TFEU. Like other networks active in the area of fight against discrimination, ILGA Europe received such an operating grant according to the rules and procedures of the PROGRESS programme, including comitology procedure. Any other organisation complying with these rules may also apply under the relevant call for proposal.
The role of the Commission consists of providing such a financial contribution towards the functioning of the beneficiary organisation, improving the organisational capacity and reinforcing the advocacy skills to voice the concerns and expectations of people exposed to discrimination. The implementation of these activities and the ownership of their results remain with the beneficiary.
It is of course very good that the EU is committed to fight discrimination. But ILGA-Europes campaign for sodomist ?marriages? is not a fight against discrimination. It is in actual fact a quest for legal and fiscal privileges for people with a particularly decadent lifestyle, at the expense of the rest of society. This is certainly not within ?the powers conferred on the EU by the Treaties?.
Also, it is patently absurd that ?ILGA Europe?s goals are in line with the principles enshrined in Article 19 of TFEU?, given that this provision lends no support at all to sodomist ?marriages? or ?families?.
But the culmination of absurdity is reached when Commissioner Reding asserts that the Commission?s role consists in providing the money, but that it has no responsibility for any of the organization?s activities.
Is anyone seriously expected to believe that the Commission has no responsibility for the activities of an organization to whose budget it contributes 70%???
The Commission, while funding ILGA-Europe at a level that is highly unusual for a ?non-governmental organization?, deliberately turns a blind eye on the fact that that organization?s activities are outside the EU?s competence. This is a serious case of maladministration.
