特魯多抨擊梅洛尼 LGBTQ+ 記錄

加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多 (Justin Trudeau) 周五在日本廣島七國集團 (G7) 峰會期間的一次會議上強調了意大利領導人喬治亞·梅洛尼 (Giorgia Meloni) 在 LGBTQ+ 權利問題上的立場。

“顯然，加拿大對意大利在 LGBT 權利方麵采取的一些（立場）感到擔憂，”特魯多告訴梅洛尼，據多家媒體報道，梅洛尼顯然很生氣。

“但我期待與您討論這個問題，”他在會議開始前補充道。

加拿大領導人在與梅洛尼舉行雙邊會談後發布的官方照會中重申了這一點。

“領導人還就保護和捍衛人權的重要性交換了意見，包括 2SLGBTQI+ 人的權利，”通訊中寫道，指的是加拿大政府對雙性戀、女同性戀、男同性戀、雙性戀、跨性別者使用的首字母縮寫詞 ，酷兒和/或質疑，雙性人，無性戀。

根據該說明，梅洛尼在與特魯多會麵時表示，“她的政府正在遵循法院的裁決，並沒有偏離前幾屆政府。”

特魯多的評論呼應了國內對梅洛尼的批評，後者指責她的右翼政府利用 LGBTQ+ 權利和移民等問題來煽動分裂。

在意大利，Meloni 政府在 1 月份填補了一個法律漏洞，允許市長和市政官員授予同性父母法定監護權。

高等法院的一項裁決促使這一舉措，即隻有收養孩子才能保證承認同性父母。

意大利政府的行動受到羅馬反對派和包括歐洲議會在內的國際機構的廣泛譴責，歐洲議會在 3 月份支持一項修正案，稱該行動具有歧視性。

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called out Italian leader Giorgia Meloni’s stance on LGBTQ+ rights in a meeting Friday on the margins of the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan.

“Obviously, Canada is concerned about some of the (positions) that Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights,” Trudeau told Meloni, who was visibly annoyed, according to multiple media outlets.

“But I look forward to talking with you about that,” he added before the start of the meeting.

Canada’s leader restated this point in the official note issued after his bilateral with Meloni.

“The leaders also exchanged views on the importance of protecting and defending human rights, including the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ people,” the communication read, referring to an acronym used by the government of Canada for Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual.

In her meeting with Trudeau, Meloni said that “her government is following court decisions and is not deviating from previous administrations,” according to the note.

Trudeau’s comments echo domestic critics of Meloni, who accuse her right-wing government of seizing on issues like LGBTQ+ rights and migration to stoke divisions.

In Italy, the Meloni government closed a legal loophole in January that allowed mayors and municipal officials the power to grant legal guardianship for same-sex parents.

This move was prompted by a verdict from the high court ruling that the recognition of same-sex parents can only be guaranteed if the child is adopted.

The Italian government’s actions were widely condemned by the opposition in Rome and by international institutions including the European Parliament, which backed an amendment in March calling the action discriminatory.
