When the current affairs magazine, Le Peuple Breton, published its 60th anniversary edition recently, the front cover, designed to be a cause for celebration, ended up at the centre of a national scandal.
“Un peuple vivant” (a living nation) read the headline alongside a photo of a young boy holding a Breton flag.
When it was posted on Twitter, it was met with a barrage of abuse of such ferocity that it is now being investigated by the police, and subsequently led to a huge outpouring of support for the magazine.
Excited to learn about this in the next episode of “fun with flags”
I would absolutely be here for that haha
Hasn’t the English flag been a dog whistle for years now?
That and the UK Flag these days, with what is essentially a far-right government at it’s head.
Bretons have some balls being anti-immigrant.
I was honestly thinking this exact thing when I first read the article, a strong sense of irony here.
