On June 23 2011, the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM) held a symposium on 'Liberty of Faith and Conscience' in the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, together with the Ecumenical Prayer Group of the Romanian Parliament. Participants from all over Europe attended the lectures that addressed the theme from theological, social and political perspectives.

Roger Kiska, prevented by sickness from speaking, sent a paper to be read at the symposium. Kiska is a legal counsel based in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, a specialist in international litigation with a focus on European law.

His speech discussed the tactics used by certain lobby organisations to try to impose secular liberal ideas on Central and Eastern European societies and how these tactics can be countered.

In his view, these European institutions want to use Romania as a new member state still unsure of its place in Europe to quickly implement radical legislation not yet enacted in the west. A cold war of social policy was being waged under our noses, he warned.
