Monday May 18, 2026, Mélanie Thomin, PS deputy for Finistère, organized a debate meeting on the subject of Defense at the UBO in Brest. Around thirty demonstrators prevented this event from taking place by invading the amphitheater stage for around an hour, criticizing in particular that “the army is entering the university”. This Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Didier Le Gac, deputy for Finistère, “would like to express his indignation at the events that occurred at the University of Brest,” he said in a press release.

The MP also mentions the presence on stage among the demonstrators of Malick Niang, LFI municipal representative in Brest. “Beyond the legitimate emotion in the face of such actions”, MP Didier Le Gac says he is surprised by the reaction of Finistère socialists following these incidents. “Indeed, if the Finistère socialists declared themselves shocked by the attitude of LFI, this shock above all seems to have struck them with amnesia. However, it is these same socialists, led by Mélanie Thomin, who in 2022 and 2024 enthusiastically concluded a legislative electoral agreement with LFI as part of the Nupes then the New Popular Front,” he continues.
“So see you in a year to find out if the PS still considers LFI frequentable at the time of elections and sulfurous outside of electoral consultations,” concludes Didier Le Gac.
