Talk:Roparz Hemon

Collaboration
The article in its current state accuses Hemon of collaboration with the Nazis. This is probably correct, but the source for it is a website on a free-access server (lycos.fr) and it has a pretty obvious nationalistic tone. Hence i tag it as "Refimprove".

The articles about Hemon in French and Breton seem much better-referenced that this article in English. I know little French and no Breton, so anyone who knows these languages better than i do is welcome to improve this article using them.

Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

The references article is indeed a well-known anti-Breton and French nationalist website. Roparz Hemon was charged of collaboration by the French state, but he was reckoned innocent for this charge. He worked indeed for a radio that was financed by the Nazis, he knew that well, but that does not mean he collaborated. All that mattered for him was to work for the Breton language. Here a totally different source: http://contreculture.org/AT_Roparz.html I therefore correct the article. Schiaznjaga (talk) 18:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

So many Wikipedia articles reflect Popular Front/Ultraleftist biases. It is important for the credibility of Wikipedia not to look too much like the revived edition of the defunct Great Soviet Encyclopedia. If a subject is controversial, then give sources and information for all interpretations, so that the reader can decide by him/herself. Karpaten1 (talk) 01:26, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Good evening, I am a breton, I speak the breton of the country bumpkin (scorned by Roparz Hemon) and I am a French patriot. Probably because you an't French, you don't understand exactly what you do with Roparz Hemon. The web site you make reference to : "contre culture" is a breton nationalist site. I have study it in detail, it is all the Breiz Atao ideology : racial regect of France, hatred of Enlightment, historical revisionism of the WW2. You surly ignore that the breton nationalism is a criminal movement. During th German Occupation, it help the nazi arresting, torturing and assassinating French resistents (who were often more authenticly breton that their persecuters). The truth about Breiz Atao must be know without the breton countries to avoid unintentionnal sympaty to this ideology. Moreover, citing a extremist political site such as "contre culture" is highly an-encyclopedic. Sorry for writing anonymously and for my broken English.92.151.186.135 (talk) 01:39, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'd like to react to somes comments here. Concerning Roparzh Hemon, as for many Breton nationalists at this period, its is very difficult to tell to which point there agreed or disagreed with the Nazi occupation. Some of them, as Olivier Mordrelles, totaly agreed with the Nazi ideology, others like Roparzh Hemon or Youenn Drezen saw things only through the Greater Good for Britanny and its language, and were ready continue to work for the Breton, even paid by the German, some others decided to fight againts the Nazi occupation, and those different situations can be found in whole France, in spite of what seems to think our patriot friend. Even, some of the Breton resistants helped friends who were accused of collaboration, like Youenn Drezen did. It's Françoise Morvan's theory to tell that every Breton nationalist (and even speaker) is a sleeping Nazi, even people like Yann Sohier, who was nationalist, but influenced by communism, of Abbot Perrot, assassinated by the FFI although he never agreed with Nazis. The version I read today is a good and equilibrated start, I think it'll be a difficult work to continue this, but mixing sources you'll be able to manage to have a good article I think, and moreover a less subjective article without the French nationalism point of vue, nor the Breton nationalism one.
 * As for the sources, you have to know that Contreculture is indeed a Breton activist website, but I disagree with the analysis that makes the previous writer. Contreculture rejects above all the gap between French mythology of equality and Human rights and what it can really is by analysing the texts themselfs. It has a way of seeing things but it refers constantly to texts and actual writings of French thinkers, therefore, I wouldn't use it in a bibliography, unless with great care, but do not reject it completely. If I have time, I'll go to the Breton page of Roparzh Hemon and try to make a resume of the bibliography. Have a good day Lekemok (talk) 10:58, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
