Non-married heterosexual couples and same-sex couples in Romania will not be allowed to enter into civil unions after the Juridicial Commission of the country’s Chamber of Deputies rejected a bill unanimously on 5 March. The bill had previously failed in the Senate where only two senators out of 176 were prepared to vote for the bill – 105 voted against the bill while the remaining senators abstained. The bill had been put forward by Green Party MP Remus Cernea and aimed to ensure all couples ‘enjoy rights like the right to inheritance, the right to become a co-beneficiary on the other’s health insurance, the right to apply for [housing] loans as joint debtors,’ but was opposed by religious and social conservative MPs – but even MPs from politically left wing parties opposed it.
One MP called the bill “cultural marxism”. What does that even mean?
