Vox accuses PSOE of throwing a “tantrum” over LGTBI project grants: “We defend real equality”

Vox has responded to PSOE criticism over the removal of grants for LGTBI projects, calling the statements a “tantrum.” Its member of the Aragon Parliament, David Arranz, said the subsidies are intended for the inclusion of people with disabilities and that the party does not consider this group to fall within that category.

In its previous edition, this call for applications included this specific funding line, but this year all the money is allocated to people with disabilities, “the most vulnerable members of society who deserve that protection and who are certainly not homosexuals,” Arranz said. He insisted that they defend real equality: “Sexual orientation is not a reason to shower certain groups of people with public money in grants.”

The lawmaker accused the PSOE of trying to collectivize LGTBI people and “instrumentalize them for its cause,” and denied any discrimination. He also said that members of this group currently face the same problems when paying at the supermarket or filling up their cars with fuel as anyone else.

He also blamed the left for “filling the streets with those subcultures whose members are hanged from cranes or thrown from rooftops in their countries.” He therefore urged the protection of the borders so that “these people are not among us” and called on lawmaker Mónica Iglesias to make her statements in Yemen, Saudi Arabia or Iran.
