REGINA: What happened?
BENJAMIN: Upon my return to France at the end of 2012, I found myself involved in the « Manif Pour Tous» which fought to uphold the traditional definition of marriage. In 2014, I participated in my first March for Life, after returning to Iceland.
REGINA: You have even run for elected office, correct?
BENJAMIN: A few months later, I was a candidate for the pro-life party, « Force Vie », in the European elections. This happened a bit by accident, due to the fact that no other candidates ran. During the campaign, I used my university education to write pro-life and pro-family news columns, which lead me to write regularly on these questions and other societal issues. Then, I began working for Lifsvernd (Right to Life Iceland) and I found myself again a candidate for the Christian-Democratic party for French citizens abroad in the last legislative elections. In short, I became involved because there was no
one else!
