Emgann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (534 words)
Emgann is a left wing Breton nationlist movement in Brittany, France.
Between their liberation and the establishment of a left wing government in Paris, leftist nationalism began to dwindle in Brittany, and Emgann was established in large part in response to this change in the political climate.
One of Emgann's particularities is its refusal of all contact with established French political parties, and its atypical pattern of recruitment.
