The controversy surrounding a gastronomic festival in French Brittany, known as Feast of the Pig, has triggered a political and media storm in recent days. What was meant to be a festive culinary gathering centred on pork and wine has turned into an episode of tension with cross-accusations and threats. and, finally, a radical change of plans on the part of the organisers.
Sunday 21 September 2025 It was scheduled to take place in Treffendel, a small town in the Morbihan department. According to the portal My Journal, The event had been advertised as a popular meal with an entry fee of €35 and an expected attendance of 150 people. Pig feasts are part of the local customs of Brittany and other rural areas of France.
Complaint by a female MP of The Unbowed France (LFI)
The deputy of The Unbowed France (LFI), Mathilde Hignet, elected for Ille-et-Vilaine, publicly denounced the organisation of the party. In statements collected by My Journal, Hignet assured that “”this festival is anything but innocent“ and that "it serves as a platform for a political party that uses gastronomy as a pretext to spread far-right ideas"”.
The debate quickly spread across social media and through local and national media. Opponents pointed out that it was not merely a culinary event, but an act with a strong ideological charge. The organisers, by contrast, They defended the “traditional” and “festive” character of the gathering..
Threats and cancellation of the Pig Festival
The episode took a turn when The pressures and threats received by the owners of the land where the party was to be held were revealed.. According to the portal Republican Resistance, these had been intimidated with very serious warnings, including the possibility of seeing “their house burnt down” if they allowed the event.
According to Breizh-Info, The organisers denounced “communist threats” and they attributed the responsibility for the pressure to radical left-wing groups. Although these claims have not been able to be independently verified, the fact is that The climate of hostility ultimately had direct consequences: the Treffendel festival was cancelled.
Secret location until the last moment
Faced with this scenario, the organisers did not abandon their idea. They quickly announced a new formula: They are keeping the date but will hold a smaller gathering, in the spirit of the Feast of the Pig, but at a location kept secret until the last moment and with extra security..
Although the organisers have already guaranteed that the party will take place at a secret location, several questions remain open. The first is the safety of the participants, given that the reported threats were of great severity. The second is the possible response of the authorities: The prefecture maintains a low profile, but media controversy may force it to intervene if there is a risk of incidents..
