In the statement, the Prime Minister highlighted his support for guaranteeing a legal method of separation of persons in marriage while citing various reasons for opposing the said bill. At the end of the statement, Prime Minister Bridges declared that the country will not conform with the bill if it does pass into law and made a strong warning against the EU on attempting to conduct any intervention to force the bill on the country, citing the possibility of invoking his lawful powers to begin the process for withdrawal from the said regional organization.
