For the second year in a row, multiple organizations and trade unions in the Côtes-d'Armor region of northern France have announced plans for an anti-fascist demonstration in the town of Sévignac. The event is set for Sunday, September 20, 2026, and is meant to protest against a "country meal" (a traditional rural gathering) that the far-right political party Rassemblement national (RN) has organized on the same day.
The RN, known for its nationalist and anti-immigration stance, often uses such events to connect with rural communities and promote its political message. The "country meal" is a common strategy used by the party to build local support through informal, community-based interactions.
The planned demonstration in Sévignac reflects growing concerns among local groups about the influence of far-right politics in rural areas. These organizations aim to counter the RN's presence by promoting values of solidarity, democracy, and inclusivity. The event is expected to draw a significant number of participants, including members of various unions and activist groups.
The demonstration is part of a broader trend across France, where anti-fascist movements have become increasingly active in response to the rise of far-right political activity. While the event is peaceful in nature, it highlights the ongoing political tensions in the region and the differing visions for France's future.
