I reiterate my position on the so-called anti-propaganda law. In my opinion, it contradicts the principles of democracy and violates fundamental human rights guaranteed by the constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, namely: the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of opinion, and so on.
