Yann Fouéré (26 July 1910 – 20 October 2011), also known as Seàn Mauger[1] was a Breton nationalist and a European federalist.[2] His French birth certificate names him as Jean Adolphe Fouéré, a French name, as the French Third Republic did not allow Breton names.
Life
Fouéré was born in Aignan, Gers, France.[3] He fled the country after the Liberation of France in 1945 and took Irish citizenship in the early 1950s. He founded the Parti pour l'organisation d'une Bretagne libre ("Movement for the Organisation of a Free Brittany"), and was one of the founders of the Celtic League along with his compatriot Alan Heusaff. He also co-founded the European Free Alliance.[1]
Fouéré was alleged to have been a collaborator during World War II, but was fully exonerated in 1955 following his voluntary return to France to face trial.[4]
He was a member of the Knights of the Sovereign Order of Jerusalem.[1]
Europe of 100 Flags
Fouéré popularized the idea of a "Europe of 100 Flags", in which a federal Europe would not be based on the currently existing nations, but instead on regional polities, the "100 Flags". The continent would "divide to unite" and "decentralize inwardly and federate outwardly." The idea has been adopted by some organizations in the Identitarian movement.[5][6]
Family and death
Fouéré's daughter with his wife, Marie-Magdeleine Mauger, is Irish actress Olwen Fouéré.[7]
