Homosexual Activists Pressure Malta To Bow To EU Directive

MALTA, July 2, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Malta Gay Rights Movement has attacked the Maltese government, suggesting that is not fully implementing an EU Employment Equality Directive.  Jim Hughes, vice-president of International Right to Life, told LifeSite, “This is a concerning development since decisions by international bodies are increasingly infringing on the sovereignty of individual nations particularly in areas of life and family.”  Sandro Mangion, leader of the homosexual activist group, claims that the European Commission has commented that Malta is lagging behind in observing the directive. The Maltese Government defended itself saying that the existing legislation is enough to make sure the directive is observed.  See coverage from the Malta Independent:  https://www.independent.com.mt/daily/newsview.asp?id=18889
