The Republikon Institute – supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom – is organizing a conference about how we could articulate liberal values through family policy. In recent years, right-wing populists among Central-Europe wish to become the sole political actors who represent families in the political landscape. In our conference, we aim to demonstrate that liberals have an alternative to the chauvinistic alt-right family definitions and to the exclusionary family support system.
