| Message | We support article 2 but we oppose the rest of this bill which seems to be intended of introduce racism and segregation through the back door, undermine the legal protection of children and give ordinary families a load of unnecessary paper-work and legal trouble. The PSP condemns every form of racism. Thus we are strongly opposed to articles 1 and 5. Private institutions should be allowed a great amount of freedom to decide for themselves but when it comes to racism and segregation the interest of the individual not be be discriminated against must take precedence over the interest of private institutions to adhere to their own racistic prejudice. The articles concerning family law will make Jakania an Eldorado for pedophiles and other child abusers while it will make life more difficult for the vast majority of couples that are satisfied with the current state of their marriages.
