Minorities in Politics
Discussion with Petr Melničuk, Zdeňek Sloboda and Czeslaw Walek
Moderator: Markéta Doležel (Česko-německý fond budoucnosti)
Debatrers: Petr Melničuk (TOP 09), Zdeněk Sloboda (FSV UK Praha), Czeslaw Walek (director of Sekce pro lidská práva Úřadu vlády ČR, SZ)
The queer minority represents variety and wants to help create it by their lifestyle. Is it like that in Czech politics? Why should minorities be present in it? What good is their presence? Does the queer scene need to be represented by its own lobby? What is it like abroad, e.g. Germany or the Netherlands? Can it be applied to the Czech situation? What is missing here and why? What could an open approach by a politician saying “I am homo/queer/ lesbian/gay“ initiate? Will it harm them nowadays? And why are the activities of the queer scene, such as Mezipatra, not openly supported or only a little?
Dicussion in Czech.
