"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to inform you of the concerns of all those in the Republic of France who fight for the survival of indigenous languages. As you know, France has not yet ratified the European Convention on Human Rights, unfortunately, and recent decisions adopted by the Council of State have condemned the intensive teaching of indigenous languages and equal teaching in state education, in state schools.
These decisions are extremely serious because they undermine more than 20 years of work by campaigners of linguistic causes such as Breton and Alsatian. I reiterate that, here in Alsace for example, there are bilingual schools which are called community schools (ABCM).
I hope that Parliament acknowledges that the rights of minorities are being breached and I appeal to the common sense of our Members so that the experiment undertaken by these schools can continue."@en1
