Alain Escada, born 16 May 1970 in Brussels,[1] is a Belgian far-right activist.[2] Since 2012, he has been the chairman of Civitas, a French Traditionalist Catholic organization.[3] Under his leadership, in 2012–13, Civitas opposed same-sex marriage in France,[4] with Escada calling it a "Pandora's box" for polygamy and incest.[5]
In June 2016, Civitas changed its status from a cultural organisation to a French political party[6] and in 2017 Escada announced that Civitas will run in the next French parliamentary elections.[7]
Escada is the President[8] of the Coalition pour la Vie et la Famille, whose status as a European party brings 500.000 euros a year of European funds.[9]
