I mostly agree actually. That's a quick reaction to something poorly phrased in a way that sounds pretty disturbing. In more detail, it's fine for somebody running for office to say that they believe in some particular set of ideas and explain why they think they're better than opposing ideas, and why people should vote for them and support them. It's much more troublesome for someone already in power to take up a position they did not run on and that people generally oppose, try to implement it anyways, and jam propaganda at those who oppose you.
Or basically, like I said in my first comment in the chain, politicians in a healthy democracy should be responsive to their own citizens first, not to foreign activist groups that don't represent that culture and never had to stand for election among those people.
