Hendaye withdraws from "Most Beautiful Festivals" label

francebleu.fr (French)

Four Basque Country festivals were labeled "Most Beautiful Festivals of France" by an association linked to the far-right. Hendaye has withdrawn. The label was created by an association led by figures from traditionalist Catholic circles, funded by billionaire Pierre-Edouard Stéring, who advocates for a right-wing and far-right alliance. Hendaye's town hall requested to cancel its membership and have the label removed, while other festivals oppose political exploitation.
