Résumé
François Hollande’s pledge to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption rights for same-sex couples was quite easy to fulfil: in voters’ eyes, the Socialist Party had a monopoly over this fiscally neutral social issue, which meant that the measure could be voted in by a strong parliamentary majority. However, the executive power’s preference for open debate on a vague reform project reignited a deep social conflict and revitalised the opposition. This article therefore focuses on the shifting capacities of political actors to keep their campaign promises and on the consequences of fulfilling these pledges in the political realm.
