  The movement also voices strong opposition to social liberal ideas such as women's rights to abortion, and gender-equality efforts. It has been described therefore as "liberal towards the economy and conservative towards habits" (sic).
  Many of the movement's pages were removed from Facebook in August 2018, before the 2018 elections, under the justification that they were being used to promote fake news.
