Free remarks on the bourgeois spirit that I have been feeling very often lately, here on the occasion of a comment referring us around the refreshment stand for the "together for autonomy" meeting on June 20.

A breathless life, stretched towards a single goal — to hold on, always, until returning to the essentials.
The publication in 2025 of the archives of the Constitutional Council on the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages reveals a debate from 1999 largely dominated by political fears, prejudices, and a lack of understanding of linguistic realities. In an analysis signed by the lawyer Véronique Bertile and the sociolinguist Philippe Blanchet, the foundations of this historic decision are severely questioned.
According to an analysis by the British newspaper The Guardian, several nationalist, even separatist, parties could simultaneously come to power in the United Kingdom.
Reading a post by Pascal Henry, a devoted advocate of the Breton language, provides an opportunity to reflect on the concept of the clean slate cherished by LFI. How can we reconcile the future of our languages with a clean slate? It is impossible!
