Margarita Simonyan spoke about the possible introduction of a tax on childlessness in Russia.
The editor-in-chief of the international media group Russia Today and the RT channel called this initiative disgusting.
Simonyan spoke about this in an interview that the journalist gave to the NTV channel. Journalists talked to her during the BRICS summit.
The editor-in-chief shared with viewers a story about her acquaintances and friends who cannot have children due to health problems.
And since the childlessness tax will also affect those who cannot have children against their will, the introduction of such a law will affect those who are not guilty of anything.
At the same time, Simonyan believes that it is definitely worth fighting the propaganda of unauthorized child abandonment.
This is why she believes that banning childfree would be a reasonable measure, since such propaganda can seriously influence the fragile minds of children.
They are doing the right thing by fighting [the childfree movement – editor’s note], Simonyan emphasized in an interview.
