Minister threatens universities over pro-abortion protests

Poland’s Education Minister Przemyslaw Czarnek referred to potential consequences that could be imposed on universities that not only permit but also facilitate teachers and students being able to participate in pro-abortion protests, which, he said, help to increase the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports Remix.

He explained that as minister of education, he has the competencies to distribute investment financing, research funds and scholarships to universities. “Such applications have been filed at the ministry, and I have no doubts that we will also consider what is happening at particular universities that have risked the health of not only their students, but also their families by encouraging them to attend protests in the midst of a pandemic,” he said, adding that there are 15 universities that cancelled seminars last week to let students attend protests.

In his interview for Gazeta Polska Codziennie, the minister also commented on the reasons for such a high level of participation of youth in the protests, underlining much deeper causes for their engagement. Czarnek said that the “silence of the Christian world” in the last few decades is one of the main reasons, as is the permission given to the left-liberal world to force conservatives to only speak about Christianity in private. He added that another reason for the youth’s participation has been the errors made in the system of education over the last 30 years.
