Former Far-Right Candidate Sentenced for Nazi Salute in France

Jean-Yves Queinnec, a 69-year-old former far-right candidate, was sentenced to six months probation for making a Nazi salute and shouting ‘Heil Hitler’ during a public meeting in Rosporden, France. The incident occurred in May at an event organized by the Ligue des Droits de l’Homme to discuss the rise of the extreme right in Brittany. Queinnec acknowledged his actions but claimed he was provoked. He was ordered to pay a symbolic euro to the plaintiffs, including the rights organization and journalist Erwan Chartier, who attended the meeting.
