La Manif pour tous
La Manif pour tous ( French for “the demo for everyone”) is a movement that emerged in France in response to same-sex marriage ( French mariage pour tous “marriage for all”) and the right to adopt same-sex couples. She stands up for the protection and promotion of the traditional family , while same-sex marriages, rainbow families and gender theory are rejected. It was founded in 2012 by Béatrice Bourges , Frigide Barjot and Ludovine de La Rochère as an amalgamation of various interest groups and has had party status since April 2015.
history
On February 12, 2013, the majority socialist National Assembly passed a bill that made marriage and the right to adoption possible for same-sex couples. François Hollande thus fulfilled his campaign promise to introduce same-sex marriage.
The Roman Catholic Church in France played an essential role in mobilizing and organizing the demonstrations against the opening of civil marriage to homosexual couples.
In January 2013, between 300,000 (according to the police) and 800,000 (according to the organizers) people demonstrated against the introduction of same-sex marriage. Shortly afterwards between 125,000 (police) and 400,000 (organizers) people demonstrated for the introduction of same-sex marriage. Between the votes in the various chambers, there were further protests by La Manif pour tous , including another mass demonstration in Paris at the end of March, which, depending on the source, gathered between 300,000 (police) and 1.4 million (organizers) people.
The movement was granted political party status by resolution of the State Commission for Party Funding on April 13, 2015.
In Germany, the content and appearance of the demonstrations, which are clearly based on the “Manif pour tous”, but significantly smaller under the German translation Demo für Alle, have been taking place since 2014, especially in Stuttgart. The context is the controversy surrounding the 2015 education plan in Baden-Württemberg and the planned stronger promotion of acceptance of homosexual and transsexual identities in school.
Alignment
The movement is associated with the Roman Catholic Church and the political right , but sees itself as apolitical and non-denominational.
In March 2013, Béatrice Bourges had to leave the leadership circle due to her radicalization. Even afterwards, the movement was accused of being infiltrated by right-wing extremists .
