Reunification of Brittany - NOW IS THE TIME

Last month saw a demonstration of over 10000 people in Nantes for the reunification of Brittany. This was part of an ongoing campaign for Breton reunification. The former capital City Nantes and the department of Loire Atlantique were split from Brittany in 1941 without the consent of the Breton people. Political and cultural organisations throughout Brittany are calling for demonstrations in support of reunification today and the days ahead.  

The stakes are very high because the new administrative map of France will be presented next week by President François Hollande. It will reveal whether there is an attempt to destroy the ancient nation Brittany by trying to subsume it into a larger greater west region.  Or return Nantes and Loire Atlantique and create an assembly that recognises Brittany’s historical borders. A united Brittany would present the very best opportunity for economic growth and a better future for the Breton people. It is very important to support the call for a reunited Brittany and to come out on to the streets to demonstrate this support. - NOW IS THE TIME.
