CitizenGO, an international nonprofit online platform advocating for active civic participation, has initiated a petition to protect parental rights in response to what it describes as four strikes against family rights in Croatia. The organization calls on Minister Radovan Fuchs to halt governmental overreach and begin respecting parental rights immediately. The petition emphasizes the importance of parental authority in the upbringing of their children amid evolving educational policies

According to CitizenGO, the new regulations introduced by the Ministry of Education have created a legal trap for families, particularly concerning issues related to the inclusion of LGBT associations in schools. The organization outlines specific concerns that include the criminalization of dissenting opinions, which leads to negative impacts on children's records, reports to social services for potential neglect, and restrictions on parental communication with their children during school hours.

The implications of these regulations, as reported by CitizenGO, suggest a concerning trend towards increased governmental control over personal and family matters, potentially undermining the role of parents in the education and development of their children. The platform's call to action reflects a growing backlash against perceived infringements on traditional family values and parental authority, making it a significant issue within Croatian society.
