Béatrice Bourges (born as Béatrice Marie Morel ; born October 18, 1960 in Algiers , Algeria ) is a French management consultant , publicist and Christian fundamentalist activist . She was one of the founders of the La Manif pour tous movement and is a key figure in opposing the law on same-sex marriage in France.

Life

Bourges was born in 1960 in French North Africa, the daughter of an engineer.

She grew up on mainland Europe in the Auvergne region . She studied law at the Panthéon-Assas University in Paris. After obtaining the “License en droit”, she studied postgraduate at the HEC Paris .

She then became General Secretary of the entrepreneurial think tank Entreprise & Progrès , specializing in consultancy. From 1992 to 1997 she worked for the French mineral oil company Total and from 1997 to 1998 for the Fédération française des sociétés d'assurances . In 2012 she founded her own management consultancy under the name EVOLUANCE + .

From 1988 to 1997 she was Parliamentary Assistant to Franck Borotra ( RPR ), former Minister for Post and Telecommunications under Alain Juppé , Member of the National Assembly and President of the Conseil général des Yvelines .

In 2007 she founded the children's rights association Collectif pour l'enfant (“collective for the child”), whose spokeswoman she became. Together with Frigide Barjot and Ludovine de La Rochère, she co-founded the movement La Manif pour tous (“The demo for everyone”), which consists of various interest groups and stands for a return to traditional family politics. She speaks out firmly against gender theory, same-sex marriage and rainbow families . The members of La Manif pour tous are therefore often accused of homophobia , racism and instrumentalisation of the child. At the end of 2013, the association brought together more than a million protesters against the law on same-sex marriage in France. In March 2013 she had to leave the leadership circle due to her radicalization. Bourges is chairman of the right wing wing of the Printemps Français (“French Spring”) movement. In 2014 she organized demonstrations against French President François Hollande (PS), whose impeachment she demanded. The socialist interior minister Manuel Valls ( PS ) described her as the "most dangerous woman in the country".

She was baptized a Roman Catholic . Bourges is a second marriage and is the mother of two children.
