Chéry: LGBT and feminist groups intend to take away our freedoms
The journalist and candidate for deputy of the Radix Movement for San Miguelito, Jean Marcel Chéry, assured that “our freedoms are being threatened by LGBT and feminist groups that promote gender ideology globally.”

The aspiring deputy for San Miguelito pointed out that “the main claim of gender ideology is that the State imposes its ideas on the entire society through laws, for this reason, we need men and women who, without fear, present themselves as candidates for deputies to stop these threats against our freedoms.”
