The National Front for the Family (Spanish: Frente Nacional por la Familia) is a Mexican social conservative organization founded in 2016. The organization is led by Rodrigo Iván Cortés Jiménez, a former federal deputy for the National Action Party (PAN).[1] The National Front for the Family opposes proposals to legalize abortion and same-sex marriage.
History
[edit]The National Front for the Family formed in 2016 in opposition to efforts supported by then-President Enrique Peña Nieto to legalize same-sex marriage.[2] The initiative would've also allowed homosexuals to adopt children and established no-fault divorce.[3] Peña Nieto's proposal was ultimately rejected by Congress, and his party lost 7 of 12 governorships later the same year.[4]
The organization is opposed to efforts to legalize same-sex marriage and abortion in Mexico.[5]
Leadership and organization
[edit]The organization is led by Rodrigo Iván Cortés Jiménez, a former member of the Chamber of Deputies for the National Action Party (PAN).[1]
Support
[edit]Brian S. Brown has said, "The National March for the Family has the potential of being the largest single demonstration of support for marriage, children and parental rights in history."[6] The organization has received support from PAN deputies Sonia Rocha Acosta and Madeleine Bonnafoux Alcaraz.[7]
