    The Right Kind of Family : A Wave of resistance 6/6

    In episode 6 of The Right Kind of Family, we travel to Warsaw, where a group of activists has opened the first clinic offering free access to medical abortion, right in front of the Polish parliament. We will learn about the work of Women Help Women, a group that supports women who want to have an abortion in countries where it is illegal or very difficult to do so. From Warsaw to Budapest, we will attend Pride in the Hungarian capital, which has been outlawed by Orban but attended by tens of thousands of people from all over Europe. But if resistance is transnational, so is the network opposing the network of parties and organisations working to erode rights. A network that follows a precise strategy, financed with millions of euros. The English version is written and narrated by Lili Rutai Research and fieldwork: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria and Manuel Tomillo Script in original language: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria.

    Reupload - The Right Kind of Family : The Great Replacement conspiracy 5/6

    In episode 5 of The Right Kind of Family, we tackle the Great Replacement theory, a conspiracy theory that is very present in the politics of far-right parties and has now infiltrated mainstream political debate.  It is yet another piece in the puzzle of discriminatory policies in the name of defending "the natural order". Our reporters will travel to Bag, about 35 km from Budapest, to see how these policies that exclude certain categories, such as migrants and Roma communities, work in practice. And, still in Hungary, we go to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest in May 2025. A stage where theories such as the "Great replacement" have had a place of honour. The English version is written and narrated by Lili Rutai Research and fieldwork: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria and Manuel Tomillo Script in original language: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria.

    Reupload - The Right Kind of Family : Destroying gender 4/6

    In episode 4 of The Right Kind of Family, our reporters travel back to Spain, a country which has become a model in the development of progressive transgender rights at the national and regional level. In 2023, the Spanish Congress passed the so-called Trans Law, which focuses primarily on allowing individuals to change their name and gender on ID cards without requiring medical reports.  However, Spain is also a country which saw the birth of the VOX, a party whose political platform hinges about the concept of "gender idoleology". Crucially, VOX is also one of the initiators of the Political Network for Values. Understanding the rise of the Political Network for Values implies understanding how gender politics has shaped Spain and Europe over the past two decades.  The English version is written and narrated by Lili Rutai Research and fieldwork: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria and Manuel Tomillo Script in original language: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria.

    Reupload - The Right Kind of Family : The abortion playbook 3/6

    In episode 3 of The Right Kind of Family, we travel to Italy, a country which has become a model for how it has been limiting access to abortion for women in subtle ways.  In fact, the country ruled by Giorgia Meloni's Brother of Italy, represents a playbook for how it is possible to curtail abortions in a context where the Law formally provides free access to it. Starting from Naples, through Rome and reaching the north-western city of Turin, the reporters uncover how the anti-abortion playbook unfolds and impacts women's lives.   The English version is written and narrated by Lili Rutai Research and fieldwork: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria and Manuel Tomillo Script in original language: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria.

    Reupload - The Right Kind of Family : A family-friendly country 2/6

    In episode 2 of The Right Kind of Family, our reporters travel to Hungary, a country ruled by Viktor Orban's Fidezs party since 2010. This relatively small central European country has surged to the role of ideological cornerstone for the Political Network for Values and its members.  In particular, our reporters focus on one specific dimension of the policies enacted by the Orban over the past decade: family policies as a tool to stop population decline. The Hungarian government proudly defines its country as a family-friendly land. But what exactly are the famed policies of the Hungarian government, and how do they affect Hungarian households and women? What do Hungarians think about them, and ultimately, are they effective in halting population decline?  The Right Kind of Family is a podcast co-produced by El País Audio, Chora Media, Europod, and 444.It was created within the framework of the WePod project, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission. The English version is written and narrated by Lili Rutai Research and fieldwork: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria and Manuel Tomillo Script in original language: Francesca Berardi, Claudia Torrisi, Lili Rutai, Elsa Cabria.

    Reupload - The Right Kind of Family : A very bright future 1/6

    In episode 1 of The Right Kind of Family, reporters Claudia Torrisi, Elsa Cabria, Francesca Berardi and Lili Rutai are in Madrid, in the Spanish Senate. They follow the works of the "VI Transatlantic Summit for Freedom and the Culture of Life", a closed session “in defence of life and the natural family.” The meeting serves also as the sixth international gathering of the Political Network for Values, a network established in 2014 in a room at the UN headquarters, in New York.  The reporters follow the debates and key note speeches of the participants, uncovering the international reach of this network as well as its rhetoric and political ambitions.  Far from being a EU-focused network, the Political Network for Values has strong US- and Latin Amrican-connections. However, one specific European country appears to play a leading role.  The Right Kind of Family is a podcast co-produced by El País Audio, Chora Media, Europod, and 444.It was created within the framework of the WePod project, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.
