In Brittany as elsewhere, the mobilization is gaining momentum to demand that access to the beaches be authorized from May 11. Among the voices that rise, that of the navigator Anne Quéméré who denounces in a post on her blog “the absurdity” of the decision taken by the government to ban access to the beaches at least until the beginning of June .

“When they banned the practice of recreational sports to focus on priorities, medical evacuations or rescue, I understood it very well. But walking on a beach, frankly I do not see very well where the danger is ", she had reacted following the speech of Edouard Philippe.

"Thousands of people will choose civil disobedience"

Installed in Finistère, the navigator still drives the point home in the columns of the newspaper Ouest-France . "We start from nonsense, we rely on nothing and we deprive the residents of the coast of their space because we are just afraid," she says.

Anne Quéméré even suggests that she will defy the ban if the beaches are not reopened on May 11. "I am a free electron and I intend to remain so," she says. I have respected confinement since March 13, like all French people. If the 11th, the coastline, access to the sea and the beaches remain closed, I think that thousands of people will choose civil disobedience. If the government sticks to its positions, the casserole will blow up ”.
