False – the statement is untrue, there is no evidence to support it, the author is lying or unintentionally sharing misleading information.
On Thursday 14 December, MEPs will vote on a EU Council legislation aimed at preventing cases where one EU member state recognises a child’s parental rights but others do not. With the vote approaching, the website NRA.lv published a misleading article stating that the European Parliament would abolish the concept of a “father” and a “mother”. Although the text of the legislation does not say anything of the kind, this fallacy was also repeated by Member of the Parliament of Latvia Andris Kulbergs (Apvienotais saraksts party).
