Plus de 25 000 Bonnets Rouges à Carhaix : un succès sans précédent pour faire bouger l'État français

Entre 25 000 et 30 000 bonnets rouges se sont rassemblés aujourd’hui à Carhaix sur le site des Vieilles charrues avec une logistique prêtée pour l’occasion et le concours de 130 bénévoles aguerris et familiers des grandes foules. C'est un résultat incroyable qui va changer la donne politique en France.
