Brest Charter

The Brest Charter was a document signed by several European far-left separatist groups in February 1974, in Brest, Brittany, France.[1] The Charter advocated for a Europe of independent socialist states and affirmed “the right of the oppressed people to respond to counter-revolutionary violence with revolutionary violence.”[1] The initial signatories were the Official branch of the Irish Republican Movement (represented by Eoin Ó Murchú), the Breton Democratic Union (UDB), and the Galician People's Union (UPG).[1] Herriko Alderdi Sozialista signed the charter a few weeks later.[1]

Other signatories included Cymru Goch,[2] Socialist Party of National Liberation,[2] Catalan Workers Left,[2]Su Populu Sardu,[3] and Occitan Struggle.

At the time, the Charter attracted little attention within the Official Republican Movement, which was more focused on establishing links with the Soviet Union.[1]

The Charter was reaffirmed at a gathering in San Sebastián in November 1977.[4] The Official Republican Movement, which was moving away from armed struggle, did not send a representative to a follow-up meeting in 1978.[4]
