Parti de la France Cancels Treffendel 'Fête du Cochon,' Citing Threats

The party attributes the decision to threats against the landowner.

Overview

  • The far-right group announced the cancellation on Sunday evening in a Facebook post.
  • It said grave threats and pressure were directed at the owner of the property slated to host the gathering.
  • LFI MP Mathilde Hignet urged authorities to stop the event and called it a platform for racist, xenophobic and supremacist ideology, and the mayor of Treffendel also opposed it.
  • Organizer Jean‑Marie Lebraud said it was intended as a private 83rd‑birthday meal with about fifty friends, including some linked to Reconquête and Rassemblement National.
  • The event had been scheduled in Treffendel near Rennes for the weekend of September 20–21 and the party said it plans to reschedule in Brittany.
