Thousands march in Brittany, Basque Country, for self-rule

The demands may be slightly different but the desire for self-rule and national unity is the same. 

Some 15,000 Bretons marched in Nantes for the reunification of the historical nation and greater self-rule within France. 

Meanwhile in Iruñea (Pamplona), some 25,000 Basques marched for independence in the Basque National Day.

France: seven arrested for the murder of Meric: the technical murderer is a Spanish Nazi

Seven people have been arrested for the murder last night of Breton Anarchist Clément Méric. They are all members of the Nationalist Revolutionary Youth (JNR), even if some are as old as 37. 

Among them there is a Spanish Nazi, named as Esteban M., who was the person directly causing the death of Clément, as he punched him with his brass knuckles causing his fall and hitting of some sort of metal object with the back of his head. 

According to the last accounts, Méric and some other antifascists had a heated argument with the Nazis in an apartment where there was a sale of clothes. Both groups exited the apartment separately but it seems that the Nazis ambushed the anti-authoritarians, forcing a short fight that resulted in the death of the young Breton. 

The background of the murder is clearly related to the Nazi and Fundamentalist Christian mobilizations against homosexual rights in France in the recent months. Clément was very active in the campaign for the rights of homosexuals and had therefore confronted the fascists in several occasions.
