Gwenn-ha-du: When the court paints in black and white

The administrative court in Naoned/Nantes decided in a way that amounts to black-and-white thinking: the Breton flag on the town hall of Naoned/Nantes does not belong there, it must be removed. 'Gwenn ha du' – Breton for white and black – perfectly describes the court's view. But the question is whether there are shades of grey between black and white that might allow the flag to be flown in the future. At the same time, the court's decision reflects wider debates about the recognition and treatment of minority cultures in France – and beyond.
