EU threatens to withhold €150 million in Polish aid unless they rescind LGBTQ-free zones

After much to-ing and fro-ing between the Polish government and the European Union, the latter has given an ultimatum that would hit the bigots where it hurts, their wallets.

We have covered the anti-LGBTQ zones quite a bit and they now cover over a third of the whole country since the middle of 2020. The EU said they were going to take legal action as it goes against their core values and here we are. 

As we have reported on before, the European Commission has also said it would take action against Hungary for ‘passing a law prohibiting students under the age of 18 from seeing content that encourages homosexuality’. It’s good to know that they aren’t just all talk.
