Lithuanian Family Movement

Lithuanian Family Movement is a right-wing traditionalist anti-gender political movement in Lithuania. The primary focus of the movement is voicing out their opposition for bills it mostly considers to be a threat to the traditional nuclear family, the well-being of children, and society at large, such as the legalization of same-sex civil unions, same-sex marriages, decriminalisation of drugs, ratification of Istanbul Convention or vaccine passports. The Lithuanian Family Movement was founded on June 27, 2021, as a response to the Homeland Union, a liberal conservative party that received the majority of votes in the 2020 parliamentary election and formed a coalition with the liberal Freedom Party, began promoting LGBT-friendly policies. Some people involved in the movement resorted to violence during civil protests. However, the protest's key denied such allegiations, claiming they were staged provocations.

Movement structure and ideology
The Lithuanian Family Movement is a unified sociopolitical entity with Raimondas Grinevičius alongside the Council of other nine members serving as its primary leadership. They are also organized to "defend our country's children, the youth, families, and schools from the harmful influence of sexual minorities" Soon after, Irish senator Rónán Mullen congratulated the movement for fighting for "a society where every person is being respected and is striving for common good." In 2022, Florio Scifo, the World Youth Alliance coordinator of Italy, sympathised with the movement participants of the annual march. On June 13–14, 2022, a delegation from the Lithuanian Family Movement held a meeting with the management of the Polish Catholic organisation Ordo Iuris and officially agreed on further cooperation. Other notable honorary guests include a far-right German politician Steffen Kotré. Even though Marius Gabrilavičius, a chief editor of the pro-Russian website minfo.lt, claimed to have been one of the organisers of the Great Family Defense March, Raimondas Grinevičius denied the link between Gabrilavičius and his organisation. == References ==
