Faced with the French ministry's intention to reduce the number of hours taught in Breton at school, several organizations called a demonstration on February 20 in Brest. This event has been a success with about 1,500-2,000 people.
Students, with the planned reform, would only have one hour of teaching Breton today instead of three. As a result, teachers would see their hours reduced or lose their positions.
Christian Troadec, Breton nationalist mayor of Carhaix, departmental councilor, declared: "In the face of Minister J.-M. Blanquer's indescribable attack on Diwan's immersion system and therefore on the Breton language, I can only unite to those who invite to Saturday's protest rally. "
