The next point Head of UGCC willed to discuss was related to a protection of the right of free speech, peaceful gatherings, religion, social morality and traditional family values of Ukrainian people. Distinctly, he paid his attention to the violation of Article 51 of Constitution of Ukraine, emerging from attempts to implement gender ideology in our country.
