The Breton language movement Ai'ta dennounced the violation against the fundamental rights of the Breton people to use their language. In recent months, the examples illustrating this situation are not lacking:
- The refusal to allow parents to give a Breton name to their child: first names Fañch and Derc'hen refused bt France
- Assisted jobs deleted putting in great difficulty many associations working for or in Breton language,
- Breton language still prohibited on the road signs roads operated by the State, despite what was planned at the signing in November 2015
- At the level of the whole of Brittany, only 3% of the pupils learn the language at school in the form of a bilingual education known as parity or immersion (Diwan) whereas this teaching should be generalized.
- Public television still broadcasts only 1:30 hours of programming in Breton per week
- For almost 20 years, the use of the Breton language in writing and orally is still not allowed in most public services ( public transport, hospitals, post office, administrative procedures, media, etc.)
Despite the threats and the ongoing complaint of the prefect of the region, and because Ai'ta knows the legitimacy of our fight, "we decided to take our responsibility and carry out a new symbolic action by dismantling dozens of signs scorning the language. Brittany, simultaneously on 10 sections of expressways in Brittany (sectors of Sant-Brieg, Gwengamp, Montroulé, Brest, Kreiz-Breizh, Kemper, Kemperle, An Oriant, An Alre, Gwened)" on February 3rd.
