Yann Goulet - Liberation Front of Brittany

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:

    I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ... The African woman, she’s got a country, she’s got the flag, she’s got her own army, got the navy. She doesn’t have a racism problem. She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.
    Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)

    To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don’t deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
