Bretons oppose French Army recruitment in schools



Breton nationalists held a number of demonstrations this month to oppose French Army recruitment in Breton schools.

Pro-Independence group Breizhistance said that the French military has been maintaining and financing conflicts in Africa and said that the army is not welcome in high schools or community centres anywhere in Brittany. Thousands of anti-military leaflets were also distributed outside high schools throughout Brittany.

The protests culminated on the 11th of November (Remembrance Day) when hundreds of protesters took part in an anti-fascist/anti-militarism demonstration in Rennes.
