Life

Monique Broquard was born in Saarland in the early 1950s and grew up there. As a member of the German Communist Party (DKP), she worked in a Saarbrücken bookstore, where she sold books with socialist content in a bookstore called " Lenchen Demuth " . Until February 15, 1981 she was a board member of the DKP city association Saarbrücken.

Since her father was from Lorraine , Broquard only had a French passport. In 1975 she applied for German citizenship. Only after six years was a decision taken on their application. In 1981 she received a negative decision because of her function as a member of the DKP, although she had publicly committed to the free-democratic basic order , also on television . The naturalization application submitted in 1977 by her husband Gerhard, a stateless machinist who was also active in the DKP, was also rejected on the same grounds. The news magazine Der Spiegel reported on the Broquards' case in June 1981. The couple protested publicly against the rejection notices with leaflets and went to the administrative court.

Broquard was interested in nature and the environment as early as the 1980s. She got involved as a functionary with the Naturefriends Youth and was their Saarland country manager. On November 17, 2000 she was elected chairwoman of the Saarland Association of Friends of Nature . She has held the honorary position to this day (2018).

Broquard now belongs to the party Die Linke and is a member of the board of directors in its Sulzbach branch . Since the municipal elections in Saarland in 2014 , Broquard has been a member of the Sulzbach / Saar city ​​council and chairwoman of the left-wing city council group. One focus of her interests is on environmental issues. In addition, like her party colleague Marlies Krämer , she campaigns for “linguistic equality between women and men”.

Broquard is a member of the federal board of the German Freethinker Association. She works in the editorial department of the association's body "Freethinker" and is responsible for the association's cultural work. In this role she was one of the co-organizers of several “Linker Liedersommer” at Waldeck Castle in the Hunsrück , which are supposed to tie in with the tradition of the Burg Waldeck Festival .
