ÅaÅcut County in Poland has officially repealed its LGBTQ-free zone, known as the Charter of Family Rights, mainly due to financial concerns, as the European Union was withholding crucial funding. This decision, motivated by the need for the local community to benefit from various programs and grants, reflects a shifting political landscape following the loss of parliamentary majority by the far-right Law and Justice Party. Nearly 100 municipalities had previously adopted similar charters amid anti-LGBTQ sentiments, but changing governance now leads to potential for more inclusivity.
The decision to repeal the LGBTQ-free zone was motivated by financial considerations, particularly the fear of losing significant EU funding for the county.
The repeal of the Charter of Family Rights highlights a broader shift in Polish politics, with the new governing coalition prioritizing inclusivity and access to EU funds.
