Bill to legalise pornography involving 14-year-olds provokes anger
Visit a new Protect-X Sponsors section!
Opposition MPs and civil organisations last Monday reacted angrily to a proposed change to the law that would allow pornography involving children aged 14 and above to be filmed for personal use. “This will give legal defence to paedophilia and supports perversion,” MP Ildikó Gáll Pelczné, vice president of the right-of-centre Fidesz party, said in Parliament. “We will oppose giving a legal defence to ‘sugar uncles’.
14 age of consent for sex
Justice Minister József Petrétei, who recently presented the draft proposal, said that if 14-year olds were old enough to engage in consensual sex, then the chance to make videos of it was also possible. The age of consent in Hungary is 14. Petrétei said that MPs who felt strongly opposed to the bill on moral grounds should suggest modifications.
‘Deviant behaviour’
Pelczné, however, followed up her protests on Tuesday by demanding, in the name of Fidesz, that Petrétei resign.
“This raises sickness and deviant behaviour to a government level,” she said.
Horrified
Campaigners for the rights of women and children were just as horrified by the proposal.
“This is a statement from legislators saying that we don’t mind adults abusing children,” said Judit Wirth from NANE, a civil group that campaigns against violence in the home. “There should be a statement that says: ‘no way’.”
Relatives banned
The bill specifies that children cannot be filmed by anyone who is related to them or caring for them, and that the subject of the film must also give permission.
However, opponents do not consider these safeguards sufficient. “I do not think adults should get permission to sexually abuse children, no matter what kind of relationship they have,” Wirth said.
Petrétei said that the bill was in line with European norms, which allow such decisions to be made by member states. Other sections of the bill aim to tighten legislation regarding other pornography-related offences.
Gergely Bárándy, an MP with the ruling Hungarian Socialist Party, defended the bill, saying it would be unfair to threaten a 19-year-old with prison for taking “erotic picture of his 17-year-old wife for their own private use”. Bárándy said that judges could be trusted to use their wisdom in making decisions about specific cases.
The law change would require only a simple majority to pass, and if all of the ruling Socialist-liberal coalition members throw their weight behind the bill they will achieve this majority. Parliamentary debate on the issue is set to continue this week.

What you composed made a ton of sense. But, consider this, what if you composed a
catchier post title? I ain't saying your information isn't good, but suppose you added a
headline that grabbed folk's attention? I mean "Bill to legalise pornography involving 14-year-olds provokes anger" is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article titles to grab viewers interested.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two
to get readers excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
