Prime Minister of Georgia Iraklii Garibashvili spoke in Budapest at the "anti-LGBT forum" - as the media call the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

 Garibashvili stated that the absolute majority of Georgian society "shares traditional conservative family values."

 "How do the forces opposing freedom and truth try to achieve their goals? It is because of the destruction of traditional, family values and the compulsion to false freedom. For example, through LGBTQ+ propaganda, trying to legalize gender change for children bypassing parents, impose the so-called "innovations" that should tear people away from their roots, family, traditions, culture and history. It is easy to lead such a person who has forgotten his history, his faith, a person without a family," he said.

 Garibashvili spoke about the adoption of the Anti-Discrimination Law and amendments to the Georgian constitution.

 "We adopted the Anti-Discrimination Law, which strictly protects the constitutionally guaranteed rights of our citizens. However, we also protect the rights of the majority, for whom the family is a union between a man and a woman. Where a woman is a mother, and a man is a father. We protect the rights of the absolute majority of our population, which supported my initiative in 2014, on the basis of which our political party later included in the constitution the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman," said Garibashvili.

 Speaking at the forum, Garibashvili called for peace in Ukraine. He also said that Georgia deserves the status of a candidate for joining the EU.

 In addition, Garibashvili called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is participating in the conference, "a wise and visionary leader."

 The Conservative Political Action Conference, founded in 1974, is the largest and most influential gathering of conservative activists and politicians in the United States.
