'LGBT-free zones' in Poland are 'unacceptable', says EU Commissioner for Equality

TALKING EUROPE © France 24

As the world marks “Global Pride” on June 27th, we speak to the EU’s first-ever Commissioner for Equality. Helena Dalli tells FRANCE 24 why Poland could lose some of its EU funding, if so-called “LGBT-free zones” set up by around a hundred Polish municipalities, are not banned. We also discuss racial discrimination in the EU – the Commissioner conceding that Europe still has work to do “to change attitudes, cultures, the way we look at these realities”, and that “legislation on its own is not enough”.

Produced by Isabelle Romero, Mathilde Bénézet and Perrine Desplats.
