ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bonnets Rouges

Bonnets Rouges is a group of people who live in an area of France called Brittany. Imagine if your school was divided into different classrooms and each classroom had its own rules. Brittany used to be its own country with its own rules, but now it's part of France and has to follow French rules.

The Bonnets Rouges are upset because they think the French government is not treating Brittany and its people fairly. They wear red hats called "bonnets rouges" to show that they are part of the group.

They want the French government to give Brittany more money and support because it is a poorer region than many other parts of France. They also want the government to listen to them when they say they want to protect their environment and their local businesses.

They have been protesting and sometimes even blocking roads to get their message across. They hope that by doing this, the French government will start to pay more attention to their needs and concerns.
