Large families threaten to take to the streets to protest against the Government.

They want to reissue the spirit of that

that emerged in 2020 against the Celaá Law and in defense of the concerted school.

Now it is the project of the Family Law of the Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, of Unidas Podemos, the cause of the discontent.

The

and the

are organizing a platform that brings together all the groups in defense of the traditional and pro-life family to stop the norm approved a few days ago by the

.

"The idea is to do something similar to what has been done on other occasions with the Más Plurales platform in defense of the concerted or the organizations in defense of life."

We are creating a platform to make our rejection of the bill visible.

The family is a pillar of society that was created even before the State itself and is not being respected," says

, president of Concapa.

He speaks in front of the

, where several members of his group have submitted hundreds of pleadings against the law.

They are against the rule changing the name of "large families" to "families with greater support needs for upbringing", a broader concept that will also include people with children with disabilities, single-parent families and single-parent families. or families with multiple births, adoptions or fostering.

María Menéndez

, president of the Association of Large Families of Madrid, explains that her fear is that, as the concept spreads, the aid that the autonomous communities and municipalities manage will be reduced for their group, because the available funds have to be distributed among more people.

In addition, she considers that with the new wording they lose recognition: "If everything is family, nothing is family anymore. They are annulling us," she says.

This mother of nine children believes that "the Family Law is a wolf in sheep's clothing": "It offers nice headlines but they are not true: the universal benefit is not such, the child supplement is only for those who have the minimum vital income... everything is a hoax, a farce, an appearance," he says.

I veto the 'parental pin'

Large families also oppose article 24, which says that "parents or responsible adults may not limit or impede the access of children and adolescents to information and their participation in awareness-raising activities and dissemination of family diversity that are develop in the educational framework, in order to avoid a restriction of their rights to education and the free development of their personality".

It is, in short, the brake on the

promoted by Vox to oppose LGTBI workshops in the classroom.

These families denounce that this article "eliminates parental authority and gives priority to children over the rights of parents in their responsibility to educate them according to their philosophical, moral and religious convictions."

There are

large families in Spain and

of them are made up of three or more children.

Menéndez calculates that this is equivalent to at least three and a half million people.

The protests of the

by the parents of the subsidized school had a great social impact and were a decisive factor for Pedro Sánchez to replace Isabel Celaá with Pilar Alegría, whom he entrusted to reconcile with these families.

On the eve of elections, the pressure of this group can be capitalized on by the opposition parties.

Although, this time, the employers

, which was one of the main engines of the

, has been left out.

Menéndez issues a warning: "If the Belarra law goes ahead, we are going to disobey it."
