The demonstration was organised by Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg and YesCymru on Saturday July 7th 11am at Trago Mills, Merthyr Tudful
over bigoted anti-Welsh comments made by owner Bruce Robertson.Welsh NGO Cymdeithas Yr Iaith Gymraeg commented that: "Trago Mills's
behaviour is further evidence that strong legislation is needed to
ensure the use of Welsh in the private sector. Welsh Labour are set to
continue with plans for a weak Language Act, which will allow more
companies to do less and less in Welsh. Labour defends large companies such
as these, which have an ugly, prejudicial attitude towards the Welsh
language at the expense of the rights of the people of Wales."
As CIG says: "Were you outraged at Trago Mills' anti Welsh attitude and deeply insulting comments about the people of Merthyr? Come and join us to show the chairman we're not just another trophy in his conquest cabinet. Please note that this will be a positive community and identity affirming protest with smiles and thumbs up. We'll meet outside the main entrance by 11am. Please share with anyone you think might be interested. If you can't join us on the day but want to do something, how about taking 2 minutes to message Trago via the 'Contact Us' link on their website."
