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.
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]
The organization is led by Rodrigo Iván Cortés Jiménez, a former member of the Chamber of Deputies for the National Action Party (PAN). [1]
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."
