Is the family a declining model? Not at all. Especially in times of lockdown, many families have turned back to the real thing and come closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families in Germany suffer from anti-family policies – that must stop now. A new initiative, “Family First” unites thousands of families to make politicians change their way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large family reunion was planned for June 28, but the measures taken\ndue to Corona prevented the organizers and the countless interested people from\nattending. Without getting discouraged, the protest was simply moved to the\nweb. They also put a sign in W\u00fcrzburg and brought the “colors” of the\nfamily into the city, representing thousands of families who had to stay at\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a colorful street action, activists with balloons, T-shirts and flyers marched through the city centre of W\u00fcrzburg under the gaze of passers-by and hung a huge banner from the Ludwigsbr\u00fccke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The family is being driven further and further into a corner. Financially, families are burdened with taxes and massively disadvantaged in the social security system. At the same time, the parenting skills of mothers and fathers are hardly recognized and we see that marriage and family are being arbitrarily redefined,” explains Hedwig von Beverfoerde of the “Family First” action alliance in the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
