Hundreds Mobilize in Finistère to Protest Vincent Bolloré's Influence

Around 300 protesters and 50 boats gathered on May 24, 2025, at Cap-Coz beach after a maritime ban rerouted their demonstration against the industrialist's perceived far-right ideologies.

Overview

  • The protest, originally planned near Bolloré's île du Loc'h, was redirected to Cap-Coz beach following a maritime prefecture ban issued on May 23, 2025.
  • Approximately 300 people and 50 boats participated in the event, which included anti-fascist and feminist groups voicing opposition to Bolloré's media empire and ideological influence.
  • Activists displayed banners with messages such as 'Bolloré, marionnettiste d'un monde fasciste' and 'Wokes déterminées à couler Bolloré' to denounce his perceived far-right agenda.
  • A smaller group of feminists staged a surprise action on île du Loc'h on May 23, displaying feminist slogans before the main protest.
  • The event highlighted broader concerns over Bolloré's regional influence, including his use of controversial figures like Marc de Cacqueray-Valménier as guardians of his properties.
