Phobic statement by Polish minister

Poland's education minister has blamed "LGBT, neo-liberal and neo-Marxist ideologies" for the rise in attempted suicides by children. This was reported by Notes from Poland.

He suggests reinforcing traditional values, including attending church, to help young people distinguish between good and evil.

In 2021 and 2022, Poland saw its highest-ever number of attempted suicides by minors, with experts citing underfunded mental health support and the pandemic as major factors.
