Weakened by the coronavirus crisis, the region is hit by numerous job cuts.

On the spot, some warn about the anger of the inhabitants which is mounting.

"It rumbles," he warns.

INVESTIGATION

Will the economic and social situation explode in Brittany?

In the region, particularly affected by the current economic crisis, many companies have announced job cuts, while in towns like Roscoff, English customers are scarce, jeopardizing the local economy.

And on the ground, already shaken by many social crises in recent years, anger is mounting.

From the outset, the tone is set in Morlaix, by its mayor Jean-Paul Vermot.

"It rumbles in the Trégor, it rumbles in the Léon, and we feel that there, there is this coalition which is going up very strongly", he warns at the microphone of Europe 1. "The people could rebel , it is time for the decisions we have requested to be answered by the government. "

In the past, these answers were sometimes called for in a more radical way, as for example by the "red caps" and the "yellow vests".

But the situation could again ignite in the face of the threat of social breakdown at Air France, Nokia, or Britanny Ferries, plagued by record losses.

From Lannion to Roscoff, via Morlaix, the area is on the way to becoming the Bermuda triangle of employment. 

Heavy-impact closures 

And when a business closes, a whole territory toasts.

"An industrial job is four to five endangered jobs," says Benoît Dumont, CGT manager in Lannion.

"We have identified 908 children of Nokia employees, so it is as many children in school, who will not be more or less on the Trégor."

Yann Thomas, a 42-year-old engineer and father of three, will have to leave Nokia by next June.

"We will have three weeks for interviews to help us retrain. But three weeks to change our life, that seems very light to us," he laments.

"We have this house, which did not cost us excessively dear. If we were to go to Rennes, it would not be the same price at all," he fears. 

The English desert Roscoff

And after Nokia in Lannion and Air France in Morlaix, it is now Britanny Ferries which is in deep difficulty in Roscoff.

If there has been no dismissal for the moment, the some 3,000 employees are sailing on sight, in a sea agitated by Brexit and the coronavirus epidemic.

For lack of English passengers, boats remain at the quayside, rotations are canceled.

And in the city, it's panic.

In her hotel, Caroline Allard must respond to cancellation requests from many English customers, fearing that they will be forced to return home fourteen because of the coronavirus.

“We miss this English clientele and will be sorely missed in October,” she explains.

And to add, fatalist: "I will be forced to fire everyone. I do not know if I will be able to continue".

While hotels are suffering, what will tomorrow be if the situation continues and results in the complete sinking of Britanny Ferries?

A new social earthquake in prospect, the consequences of which could well cause tremor beyond this region.
