#FamilyReferendum CpF: Overwhelming vote, even if we miss target. We will succeed next time

The leader of the Coalition for Family (CpF), Mihai Gheorghiu, said on Sunday evening, after the polls closed, that the battle against gender ideology will continue in the future as well because the voice of four million Romanians must be heard. 

"What we lived today is a legal and constitutional vote (...) an overwhelming vote, even if we missed our target of six million. Even if our goal is not met and we could not review the Constitution, this vote (...) will endure in the history of this society and this nation. Next time we will succeed, because defending that which is natural, defending what we received and what we want to leave behind is important for millions and millions of Romanians. Now we have the extraordinary proof of this interest. Nobody will be able to say that these were only signatures that we don't know how they were taken. (...) It is the voice of a part of the Romanian people and this voice needs to weigh. (...) Our life will become, as of tomorrow, more complicated, but our voice was heard, our NO against the intrusion of the gender ideology in the minds and souls of the children of this country was heard. It is the first battle, others will follow and others that we will surely win", CpF leader Mihai Gheorgiu said. 

He accused the generalized boycott from the political class, the media and the citizens' misinformation. 

"We were faced with a huge propaganda machine, anti-referendum, pro-boycott, of manipulation and misinforming of this people. We have been dealing with also an unexpected phenomenon, namely the generalized boycott of Romania's political parties against this referendum. Our initiative is not a political one and we have always refused its political hijacking," Gheorghiu said. 

The CpF leader drew attention that the political leaders will have to take into consideration the vote of those who expressed their option in this referendum. 

"This Christian vote exists, it exists publicly, there is a part of this people, of four million, who was active, responsible and who was able to see past the misinformation campaign and showed up in front of Romanians with this option. It is an important option, that we must take into account,that all the political, constitutional and legislative factors of this country must take into account. You can no longer legislate against such a voice," Mihai Gheorghiu declared.
