Georgia has successfully managed to protect, both, its national and religious identity and traditional values, mentioned the Georgian Prime Minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC Hungary 2024).

As the government head noted, the so-called liberals also fight against such an important pillar of the country’s identity as state sovereignty.

“If the processes went in the direction in which they are still going, state sovereignty will soon be even formally declared to be the same unacceptable value as the national and religious identity of the country is declared nowadays.

Georgia has successfully managed to protect, both, its national and religious identity and traditional values. However, we also face the most difficult challenges. The so-called liberals are actively trying to spread their ideology in Georgian society and undermine the foundations of the state and society.

In response to these challenges, we in the Parliament of Georgia initiated a draft of constitutional amendments aimed at protecting family values and the interests of minors. The draft law prohibits the legalization of same-sex civil partnership, the adoption of a minor by a same-sex or polygamous couple, changing a person’s sex, entering any other gender than male and female in an identity document, as well as popularization of the same-sex family or intimate relationships, incest, adoption of a child by a same-sex couple and promotion of gender reassignment.

We hold great hope that the aforementioned legislative changes will successfully oppose the so-called liberal ideology and make a significant contribution to the protection of family values and minors,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.

According to him, Hungary’s firm attitude in terms of protecting the national interests of the country and its people is an example for everyone

“The Hungarian authorities, personally the Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, stand firm in guarding the Hungarian national and religious identity and traditional values in Hungary. Despite the most difficult challenges, you did not allow the uncontrolled entry of migrants into Hungary, thus preserving the country’s strong national identity; You firmly stand on the guard of Christianity and Christian values in Hungary; You firmly oppose the so-called liberal propaganda, so as not to allow children and young people to be harmed and their moral values shaken; You firmly protect the state sovereignty of Hungary, which is a necessary precondition for the protection and promotion of the country’s national interests.

Hungary and its government, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in particular, are role models for everyone who values the word – homeland and patriotism.

Therefore, it is a special honour for me to be your guest today and to have the opportunity to discuss our common values together with you,” said the Prime Minister.
