Liberation Front of Brittany
Towards the end of the 1960s, he claimed to have taken the reins of the Liberation Front of Brittany (Front de Libération de la Bretagne, or FLB) and to have been behind all their attacks.
In 1969 he became secretary general and chair of the Comité National de la Bretagne Libre and published the communiques of the FLB. In 1968, the head of police in Bray congratulated him on organising the previous day's attack on the CRS barracks in Saint-Brieuc. His friends called him "tonton Yann", but sceptics referred to him as "Général micro".
Goulet often claimed " national revolution that we missed in 1940" ("révolution nationale qu'on a manquée en 1940")

Famous quotes containing the words liberation and/or front:
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
“There is no mystery in a looking glass until someone looks into it. Then, though it remains the same glass, it presents a different face to each man who holds it in front of him. The same is true of a work of art. It has no proper existence as art until someone is reflected in it—and no two will ever be reflected in the same way. However much we all see in common in such a work, at the center we behold a fragment of our own soul, and the greater the art the greater the fragment.”
—Harold C. Goddard (1878–1950)
